Daily Basic Regime And Skin Health: Eczema, Part 4

Most of us wash our faces, care for our homes

, wash our clothes and go about our daily business without giving things too much thought. For people who suffer from skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, daily routines and household practices are very carefully scrutinized, as any little thing can trigger a reaction that can cause a major flair up and take days or even weeks to heal. Its not enough to use a special eczema soap, though using a good one can begin the healing process. This article will help provide a little relief for anyone who suffers from chronic skin conditions

As we discussed in Your Biggest Organ: Eczema, Part 3, skin is a two-way street, as it were. Things pass into our skin from the surface and our bodies will, on occasion, get rid of things it cannot otherwise rid itself of by pushing it through the skin. Keeping the surface of our skin in optimal condition will allow our bodies a little less stress so that it can get on with the business of healing itself.

Every woman has been taught to clean her face before going to bed. This is a rule. Every night a woman goes to bed with her makeup still on prematurely ages her face at a rate of four to seven days. The mistake most women make is over drying their faces. Some women are stuck on the belief that a face isnt clean unless their faces are squeaky clean. The problem is that this strips all the oils off the face, causing the body to react, believing more oil production is needed. What results are sebaceous glands that go into a type of hyperdrive, super producing oil and plugging pores.

Dissolving dirt does not have to strip oil. A gentle cleanser is best, especially if it also provides a humectant. A humectant is a property that holds moisture and by way of this imparts moisture to whatever surface it finds itself on. Oils are usually humectants, but many are too heavy and cause us to feel greasy. This is especially true of cheap oils, like lanolin, a by product of wool production. Though also a humectant, lanolin has been shown to actually lead to contact dermatitis. Olive oil, shea butter, and castor oil are all high quality humectants that additionally supply nutrients and provide anti-inflammatory properties, taking the sting out of inflamed skin. Anyone suffering from skin conditions, like psoriasis and eczema will appreciate this fact.

Many women find that not stripping their faces and returning it to a neutral state is sufficient for controlling the moisture level. Others, with particularly dry skin, prefer an additional source of moisture. Some women swear by a weekly application of a think layer of olive oil, while some find olive oil too heavy. A good skin moisturizer with coconut oil, similar to what is found in Bella Soaps, provides moisture while supplying antibacterial properties.

Good eczema soap will clean the skin without drying it and provide a humectant to protect the skin. Good fats are part of the process, providing the skin with a basis for moisture and healing. So, while the skin is in a perfect state, the body can focus its attention on healing, something everyone with psoriasis or eczema will appreciate.
