Eczema Skin Care
Develop a regular skincare routine You should moisturize your skin at least twice a day, so find a product that works well for you. Use mild, gentle soaps rather than antibacterial or deodorant soaps that can dry out your skin. Take shorter baths and showers with warm, rather than hot, water. Stick to your routine as much as possible, and the good habits build up over time so you can keep your eczema under control.
