Eczema skin, like any other skin type, benefits from proper care. However, sometimes this skin needs a little extra attention. Using the right products can prevent the problem from getting worse and possibly even improve the skin. In this article, we will tell you how to care for skin with eczema and what products we recommend.

What is eczema?

Eczema is a (sometimes) chronic skin condition that is not contagious. It is an inflammatory reaction of the skin. This inflammatory reaction often manifests as redness, vesicles, swelling and chapping on the skin. Skin with this condition is also often itchy.

Eczema can be hereditary, but can also be caused by external factors such as stress or (food) allergies. There are different types of this condition, such as contact eczema, atopic eczema and dyshidrotic eczema.

Don'ts with eczema

This skin type is often dry and very sensitive. The skin may exhibit allergic reactions to various ingredients. So be careful with products that contain a lot of alcohol, perfume, soap and other irritants.

This skin is also very sensitive to water. Water can penetrate into wounds on the skin and cause inflammation there. In addition, too much hot water dries out the skin. So shower and wash the skin in moderation.

Taking care of skin with eczema

Just because this skin can't stand too much hot water doesn't mean it doesn't need proper cleansing. This skin type also benefits from daily good and gentle cleansing.

Because this skin type reacts quickly to different substances, it is important to use very mild products that contain only gentle and caring ingredients. When cleansing the skin, it is recommended to use a milk or an oil such as the hannah Cleansing Oil. A very gentle cleanser suitable for this skin type.

After cleansing, it is time to apply a caring cream. Skin with eczema is easily dry and very sensitive, so it is important to use a product that is moisturizing and caring. 

The occasional application of a serum is certainly not wrong for someone with this skin type. It works effectively against dry skin and reduces roughness while instantly and long-lastingly soothing when you apply a serum.

A soothing mask is wonderful for the sensitive and dry skin of someone with eczema. This not only provides a moment of relaxation for the skin, but also for the mind.

Finally, it is very important for people with eczema not to go out in the sun unprotected: this can worsen the symptoms. A suitable hannah cream includes the hannah High Quality. This product protects the skin from the sun without causing irritation.
