5 Natural Habits for Comfortable, Eczema-Prone Skin

Eczema-prone skin loves routine. These five natural habits help it feel more comfortable and look calmer day to day.

Why this skin can feel uncomfortable

The five habits: lukewarm baths, moisturising straight after, fragrance-free products, soft breathable fabrics, and noting what bothers your skin. Eczema is diagnosed by doctors, so keep following your doctor’s advice.

A simple daily routine

1. Wash with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Hot water and harsh soaps can leave skin feeling tight.
2. Pat dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing.
3. Moisturise within three minutes of bathing.
4. While skin is still slightly damp, smooth on a thin layer of SKLEER gel over the areas that feel dry, rough or uncomfortable.
5. Follow with a plain moisturiser if your skin still feels thirsty, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed skin during the day.
6. Repeat morning and evening, and give any new routine a few weeks before judging how your skin looks and feels.

Everyday tips

• Choose cotton over wool.
• Keep nails short.
• See our gentle routine for eczema-prone skin.

A quick note: SKLEER is a cosmetic product. Patch-test on a small area first, and avoid broken skin and the eye area. If your skin is sore, changing or worrying you, see a doctor or pharmacist; this guide is about everyday skincare, not diagnosis.
