In order to minimize the severity of eczema flare-ups, the NEO recommends adopting simple protective measures into your daily routine, which includes wearing protective gloves outdoors, and investing in a humidifier to keep your environment full of hydrating moisture.
Treating eczema also starts with using the right skin care products and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Tsippora Shainhouse, MD, has a few tips: "Choose a moisturizer with ceramides, hyaluronic acid or glycerin to attract water into the top layers of the skin," she advises. "Also, look for ingredients like dimethicone, panthenol, and sunflower oil to act as a barrier to help lock in moisture." She also recommends a) seeking out rich, creamy products (since they moisturize well) and b) avoiding lanolin, as it can causes allergic contact dermatitis.
With Shainhouse's helpful insight in mind, we're shining the spotlight on some of the best skin care products for eczema-prone skin. From itch-relieving body balms to SPF-rich moisturizer, below are eight derm-approved products to help you get through the worst of the winter season.
