HELPP: dry, sensitive, eczema covered skin :(

[alyshasc]

The lowdown: I have always struggled with chronic eczema problems. Three weeks ago I visited my family in Arizona and my skin suffered like never before, and having read No More Dirty Looks (a great book exposing the facts about skin products) on the airplane and already being a no-poo-er I decided to switch to cleaner, natural products as well as

For my eczema, I tend to use oatmeal masks, and moisturize either with olive oil or with Burt's Bees Milk & Honey lotion (the old version, which is less all-natural than the new one, but works better on my skin).

I think I'm going to try oatmeal and olive oil tonight, thanks!

You're welcome! Oatmeal's about the only thing which can calm my skin down. :)

Well, there's a couple of things

Maybe you should add a hydrator to your regimen? Something like hyaluronic acid cuz you seem to be moisturizing to compensate for your dryness without hydrating your skin first. I would suggest finding a good hyaluronic acid product to use as a base to your moisturizer INSTEAD of grape seed oil.
The only problem with this is trying to find an all natural hyaluronic acid product. 100percentpure (my favorite all natural line) USED to sell one that was just rose water and hyaluronic acid but they discontinued it (and I was pissed). Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid is a really good product but it's not all natural (the ingredients aren't bad though). It has a very thin watery/gel consistency and once it absorbs seal that hydration in with your moisturizer.

Continue drinking water and I hope this helps.
