Question
Hi there,
I am wondering about your eczema products for my husband. We’ve been told that this is what he has (mostly on his legs) and am curious about the products you offer to help. The patches are quite large and we have never really been able to get something from the doctor that works. Any help would be great!
Answer
Hi There!
I’d suggest trying out the Patchouli Moisturizer and the Hydra Healing Gel first. Often times, that, along with the suggestions I added below, is enough to clear things up. Your husband can use these two products one of two ways. Either by applying the Hydra Healing Gel first, then the patchouli moisturizer over top. Or by mixing the two products together and applying them at the same time. Both ways are effective. Apply twice a day or as needed.
Additional things that can help clear up his eczema faster:
- Make sure he’s not using any cleansers (soap, body wash, shampoo) that contain sulphates. These not only aggravate eczema but can cause it in some cases. You’ll find sulphates listed on ingredient labels in the following way: sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, steol-130, 230, 270, 330, 370 or 460, stepanol, alkyl ether sulfate, sodium POE(2) lauryl ether sulfate, and sodium diethylene glycol lauryl ether sulfate. Basically looking for any ingredients ending in “SULFATE” is a quick way to identify these ingredients (with the exception of steol and stepanol).
- Eczema has been linked to food sensitivities. This may or may not be the cause with your husband. You may want to check with your medical practitioner to see if he should have an igG food sensitivities test done.
- There are several environmental / lifestyle triggers for eczema that you may or may not have explored yet. I thought I’d list some of the most common ones I’ve heard from my customers. These include laundry products (especially fabric softener), dust mites, grass (botanical/plant related allergies), extreme temperatures (like the hot humid weather we’re having here right now), some fabrics (wool and synthetic fabrics, like polyester, seem to be the worst), and increased stress levels.
I hope that helps!
