Eczema and sensitive skin anyone?
The causes of my eczema is actually the winter weather... because we/i tend to use heaters and electric blankets to keep warm... So the air ends up really cold and dry... which totally drains our/my face of its water/moisture. Currently... my face is still a little dry... but more than 90% of the redness has gone... so what happened? 1. I was using laneige... - no change... actually it kind of stung... so I decided to switch brands until my skin got better 2. I switched to Origins because it claimed to be organic and I heard it was best for people suffering from eczema to use organic products or products with less chemicals... - eye cream took the puffiness away on my eyes, redness died down a little but was still a site for sore eyes. 3. Went to my doctor for other reasons, and he gave me aqueous and hydrocaudasine 1% - the aquaous helped but make me ichy! like REAL ICHY... and the hydro well its not recommended excessive uses.... and ummm yeah it made my face really really red! my originally 5% worked better 4. I stopped using all skin care and got a tiny sample of egyptian magic... slight change... I wasn't so red and the flakes went away gradually 5. I ran out of the stuff! So... I was washing my face with cold water... drying with tissues, because I was scared towels would cause a reaction. And then I decided to pinch my primerose oil capsule and put it on my face. Yeah I know its gross but I was DESPERATE! but this seemed to work... my skin is not much clearer... from my previous post... you can see my face has nearly recovered 100%... I have a few spots left... but very slight that its very hard to detect. I do this every night... with a towel on my pillowcase... because u tend to move and u kinda not want oil on your pillow case :s but yeah... when i wake up in the morning my face looks more hydrated and the flackness is gone. The main thing that I have to do is keep on drinking water, so that the water can get to my skin.... and make sure that the outside of my skin isnt too dry... I can't wait to use egyptian magic again because then I won't have to use the evening primerose oil at night anymore! If you guys have eczema or sensitive skin, let me know how you help your skin... I just thought I'd share what I did just in case anyone goes through what I did... xox Comments: Hey, I feel your pain bc I have eczema too. If I don't take care of it, it gets BAD! I hope you feel better soon! Comments: I have super eczema! But it has been quite alright for this year... *knock on wood* Super hot water definitely makes me itch!! Good moisturizers also help a lot.. Comments: My sister has eczema she swears by drinking a lot of fluid and taking vitamin for skins. she also uses body shop vitamin E cream. Her eczema has become a lot more controlled in the last few yrs. she only gets really itchy when its hot Comments: My cousin had eczema but it only gets pretty bad in the summer where she actually have to wear long sleeves or a sweater all the time, it sucks. I know the one thing that soothes her skin is Eucerin products. Im not exactly sure what kind but i see Eucerin products in her bathroom. Comments: I get eczema in the winter as well, or if I try makeup/skincare that just doesn't agree with me. I use a prescription steroid cream from time to time on the really bad spots, but using a humidifier this winter really helped! I try to wash my face with tepid water and rinse with cold, aaaand...sometimes I'd use yu-be on dry spots on my face, which helped out quite a bit. Purpose cleanser was a big help when my skin was too sensitive to wash with anything else, and this soap bar that I got from a local soapmaker was a total savior :) Yahoo: Eczema and sensitive skin anyone? face cream sensitive skinGoogle: face cream sensitive skin Eczema and sensitive skin anyone? |
