Moisturizing
We have tried just about everything under the sun. What moisture works best for us? Plain old emu oil. Shea butter is also good but thick so we use less often.
There is no easy solution, but the key is moisturize! Moisturizing works best if applied immediately after bath or shower to seal in the moisture.
These are the products we use for our child’s eczema. This definitely helps maintain her skin, but we also have some prescription steroid ointments when she has flare-ups.
Laundry
After trying many different types of laundry detergents, including those that are scent-free and hypoallergenic, I have found that Seventh Generation laundry detergent works best for sensitive skin in our family. I prefer the Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent.
