Eczema S.O.S!

Picture
Winter and early Spring are a common time for eczema flare ups to occur. To help make it through this weather/humidity transition period, Mama Bare suggests  three easy tips:

#1) Bathe LESS Often - Seriously. Less often. Like two max three times a week if you can hack it.

#2) Use LESS Soap - Only  wash the parts that really need it (armpits, hands, etc.).  Avoid private areas.  And skin arms/legs/back, etc. Those areas get rinsed with soapy water anyways,  and they don’t really get dirty.

Stick with a natural, vegetable oil  based soap (or none at all) that won’t irritate your skin. Absolutely avoid  synthetic fragrances, petroleum by-product soaps and hand sanitizers.

#3)  Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize!
If you suffer from eczema all over  your body, you may need more than the post
treatments listed here. But for most  folks, eczema flare ups tend to be on a
few spots like hands, arms, back of  knees, etc. Gather a really high quality,
non-petroleum based balm (i.e. no  water in it) and apply it morning and night
to the affected area. if it’s hands,  allow five minutes to fully rub it in.
Repeat as needed. The moisturizer will  protect the dry/rashy/irritated skin and
will protect it from further  damage.

What to use?

Of course, we are partial to Bare Organics'  Healing Balm and Organic Baby Balm – both can be very successfully used to help  heal eczema, skin rashes, psoriasis, etc. You can also try coconut oil, olive  oil, or a number of other homemade recipes. Aim for organic, cold pressed oils  whenever possible to get the most
nutrients.

Additional Tips for  Parents

If your wee one has eczema
patches, first make sure it is really  eczema, and not a self-diagnosed rash
that may be eczema. if your little one has  a food allergy or intolerance,
treating the skin issue won’t make it go away.  It’s still a great idea to try
elimination diets to see if that helps. 

In the meantime, use your stealth superpowers to sneak into his/her room  when he/she is sleeping and apply the balm where needed. Active, awake children,  especially when they are young, will probably pick at the area once it itches,  and may wipe off the balm. if you treat it before they know, you stand a better  chance of letting it work it’s magic.

B-bye eczema!
