If you struggle with eczema, here are 15 beauty products that will soothe your skin
Eczema can be a royal pain to deal with, especially since the red, itchy, and scaly skin condition can be very uncomfortable and super frustrating to treat. However, the key trick to treating eczema correctly really lies in the products you choose, as the right healing ingredients can help give inflamed skin instant relief.
“In addition to your medicines prescribed by your dermatologist, look for humectants and emollients like petrolatum, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, sunflower seed oil, ceramides, sodium lactate, urea, and shea butter,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Alicia Barba tells HelloGiggles.
“These are great examples of wonderful moisturizing ingredients to help with your eczema or dry skin issues.”
