What’s your shower routine? Because get it wrong and you’ll be itchy by lunchtime 🤦🏾‍♀️ Y’all saw yesterday’s post—this time of year is not kind to our skin 🥹 eucerinpartner ad targetpartner ECZEMA-PRONE SKIN TIPS (also good general tips for fall/winter skin): 🚿 Bathe in WARM *NOT* boiling hot water. Hot water dries the skin and can contribute to damaging the skin’s barrier. And if you have eczema, your skin barrier is already impaired 🧴🧤 Overhaul your body care. This time of year I often have to say goodbye to some of the products I can use in the summer (fragranced body washes, body scrubs, etc) and instead opt for gentle, fragrance-free options that soothe and protect my skin. The Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream & Body Wash are perfect for this. There’s also a baby version! ⚠️ Exfoliate sparingly. Yes, I know some of y’all wanna be scrubbed within an inch of your life, but dry, eczema-prone skin is already impaired—exfoliating too often can cause more flare-ups (and you can wind up injuring your skin). So what do you do? Definitely skip the exfoliating when you have active flare-ups. Besides, so many things we do to our skin already count as exfoliation. Simply rubbing your hands against your skin counts as exfoliation. When your barrier is healthy, limit exfoliating to 1-2 times a week and look into gentle exfoliants made for sensitive skin—maybe even the types made for your face ‼️ Avoid itchy fabrics Some wools and knits can further irritate the skin—try to avoid these or if you do wear them, consider layering something silk or satin underneath to protect your skin. 💦 Use a humidifier and limit indoor heating use—heat (and even AC) can be very drying on the skin. I am notorious for layering up instead of cranking the heat up. MyEucerinJourney EucerinUS liketkit shopltk LTKbeauty LTKSeasonal LTKfindsunder50
