Understanding Eczema: Eczema often appears as red, itchy patches, especially in creases like elbows and knees. It’s caused by a compromised skin barrier, leading to dryness and inflammation. Gentle, chemical-free skincare routines can help soothe symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
Choosing the Right Products
Ingredients to Avoid: Avoid fragrances, parabens, sulfates, and dyes, which can trigger irritation. Opt for plant-based, fragrance-free products.
Moisturizing Frequently: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer multiple times a day to lock in hydration and maintain a healthy skin barrier.
