Moisturisers

1. Moisturising is essential for eczema sufferers. Many moisturisers have been proven to protect the skin by adding a barrier against irritants that people with the eczema condition lack. However you must be very picky with what type of moisturiser you use as many contain irritants themselves defeating the purpose.Try to avoid moisturisers which are perfumed or contain soapy products, the less additives the better but products that re-hydtrate are excellent. I always find moisturisers seem to work well for a couple of weeks and I think I have found the one for me then it starts to irritate me. I have been using a moisteriser from Salcura but I have just started using plain vaseline and will see how i go.
