As the temperatures drop and winter sets in, many of us can experience a change in our skin. It may become drier, itchier, and for some, Eczema worsens. Managing skin conditions such as eczema often requires a holistic approach. Eczema triggers can vary from person to person, so it’s important to observe and try to pinpoint individual triggers, which can involve making changes in diet, washing detergents and skin care.
Managing Eczema Symptoms
Effective management of Eczema involves maintaining a healthy skin barrier and minimizing exposure to triggers. Prevention plays a crucial role in managing Eczema. Avoiding hot showers and harsh cleansers, and opting for gentle, SLS free options such as MooGoo’s Milk Wash or Ultra Gentle Cleanser with Ceramides, can help maintain skin health.
Steroid creams prescribed by doctors are commonly used to alleviate inflammation, but long-term use can have adverse effects on the skin. Natural alternatives, such creams with anti-inflammatory properties, offer long-term relief without the side effects of steroids. MooGoo’s Sensitive Skin Balm contains soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica to help relieve the itching and inflammation, whilst the Eczema Cream with Ceramides is formulated with innovative skin barrier technology to calm and protect the skin.
Finally, it is important to keep the skin hydrated and nourished, with gentle products that don’t cause further dryness, irritation or harsh side effects. MooGoo’s range of moisturisers are formulated to provide deep hydration and soothe, and they are designed to be suitable for eczema and psoriasis-prone skin. The ingredients are selected especially for their skin-nurturing properties!
