🍂✨ October is Eczema Awareness Month! We understand the struggles that the dry fall and winter months can bring to our patients who deal with eczema and dry skin. Here are TEN easy, at-home tips to keep eczema at bay that Google WON’T tell you:
1. Only use a white Dove sensitive soap bar.
2. Moisturize ONLY with Vaseline—no Aquaphor or Neosporin.
3. Get a humidifier to place next to your bed; preferably a cool mist one.
4. Get 1000-thread-count cotton bed sheets.
5. Avoid using strong perfume/cologne directly on your skin.
6. Only use Tide Free and Gentle laundry detergent—NO dryer sheets or fabric softeners.
7. Wear only cotton clothing.
8. Use Aveeno Baby Shampoo.
9. Use antiperspirant instead of deodorant.
10. Reduce or avoid strong fragrance products in the air, such as oil diffusers, candles, or air fresheners.
We hope these tips help you get through the upcoming dry months!
As always, consult with a dermatologist to address any questions or concerns, and take good care of your skin!
