Living with eczema is like being on a never-ending quest to find the holy grail products that won't make your skin revolt. But through tons of trial and error (we're talking more product testing than a lab scientist here), I've finally found some gems! Today, I'm thrilled to share my top picks for skincare and bath brands that have made a significant difference in managing my eczema.
- Eczema Honey Co's Gentle Oatmeal and Lavender Soap
- Not Pot's Oat Puff CBD Eczema Crème
- Biossance's Squalane + Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser, Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream, Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum, and Squalane + Caffeine Toning Body Cream
- Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion with Soothing Oat, and Soothing Oatmeal Bath Treatment for Itchy, Dry Skin
- Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane
Shoutout to anyone who can still find Lord Jone's Acid Mantle Repair which has been my ultimate favorite face moisturizer.
You'll notice a pattern of ingredients - Squalane, CBD and Oatmeal. A few other key ingredients that I'll keep in my selfcare, skincare, bathcare stack include: Goat's Milk, Honey, and Aloe Vera.
While finding the right products is essential, managing eczema also requires a holistic approach to skincare. Gentle fragrance-free formulas, regular moisturizing, drinking lots of water (I try to drink 64oz of water a day!) and avoiding known triggers are key strategies. It's also important to patch test new products and consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice.
Living with eczema requires patience, perseverance, and self-compassion. There will be good skin days and bad skin days on this journey. Throughout it all, remember to be kind to yourself and your skin. Listen to what your body needs in each moment - sometimes that's extra rest, sometimes it's gentle movement, and sometimes it's slathering on an extra layer of oat-based goodness.
And psssst....wherever you're at right now on your sensitive skin journey, you're doing amazing!!!
♥,
