Over 3 million new cases of eczema are diagnosed in the United States each year. Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is an itchy rash that often appears on children under the age of five, and may continue into adolescence and adulthood. Although there isn't a "cure" for eczema, most people afflicted with the annoying itch will look to anything to stop it.
Many of the treatments available for eczema include steroid creams, such as hydrocortisone. While steroid creams may help to temporarily soothe the itch, they also come with with a wide range of warnings and side effects that make many people wonder if the risks are worth the reward. Parents of children afflicted with eczema especially may be interested in knowing about a more natural, chemical-and-steroid-free way to soothe their kids' skin.
According to the National Eczema Association, many people with eczema have drier-than-normal skin due to an imbalance in the topmost protective layer of skin called the skin barrier. That's why proper bathing and moisturizing the skin can have such a positive effect on the symptoms of eczema, and why you should know how to do it properly.
First, decrease the temperature of your bath or shower water from hot to warm. Next, decrease the time spent in the bath or shower to 10-15 minutes maximum. Gently pat skin dry after bathing with a soft towel, being careful not to harshly rub or scratch the skin. Finally, apply a soothing moisturizer immediately after bathing to help seal in moisture and protect the skin barrier.
Natural fruit and seed oils and butters, along with certain essential oils, have been used for thousands of years to help skin hold and retain moisture and to soothe irritated skin. Many indigenous cultures continue to produce and use these natural methods to this day, believing that the best medicines are provided by mother nature. At CannaCure Sciences, we've combined the research of modern times with the wisdom of the ancients; developing and testing dozens of different formulations of oils and butters to provide you with the very best in natural, chemical-free skin care.
