Cleanse your skin with a mild cleanser formulated for sensitive, dry, eczema-prone skin to avoid stripping natural oils and worsening dermatitis.
Use a Gentle, Hydrating Cleanser
While skin is still damp, apply a light humectant like hyaluronic acid or glycerin to draw moisture into the skin, helping it retain hydration.
Apply a Thin Hydrator
After the hydrator absorbs, apply a thick moisturizer or ointment suitable for sensitive skin to lock in moisture and treat affected areas.
Follow Up With a Thick Moisturizer
Refrain from exfoliating as it can worsen dry skin and further compromise the skin barrier, leading to more issues.
Avoid Aggressive Exfoliating Products
Avoid products with fragrances, dyes, alcohol, and harsh detergents to prevent atopic dermatitis flare-ups.
Steer Clear of Triggers
Regularly follow a gentle skincare routine and avoid known triggers to help minimize flare-ups and maintain healthier skin.
Manage Atopic Dermatitis Proactively
Seek medical advice if you experience significant pain, discomfort, or persistent flare-ups to develop a personalized management plan.
