The role of moisturizing when you suffer from eczema or dermatitis

Skin moisturizing is essential. This is even more true when you have eczema and its role is often underestimated.

Why is it so important? Let us tell you everything!

Eczema & moisturizing

Moisturizing plays a fundamental role in fighting eczema. This type of skincare should be applied daily.

Between flare-ups

Skin affected by eczema/dermatitis is fragile and highly reactive: allergens, irritants, cold… Many external agents can trigger a reaction.

Also, moisturizing your skin daily strengthen its barrier function, with 2 main consequences:

Spacing flare-ups, thus constituting a way to lengthen the periods of remission
Reducing the intensity of inflammatory outbreaks

In the case of atopic skin, more permeable than normal skin, and often dry to very dry, hydration is even more essential to compensate for the lack of water and lipids that characterize it.

During a flare up

If corticosteroid-based creams are the treatment preferred by dermatologists during a flare-up, they are usually prescribed in combination with moisturizing and emollient care to:

Soothe the sensations of itching
Restore the barrier function of the skin to protect it from irritation
Fight against its dryness

How to use

The application of a moisturizer must be systematic and daily to increase its impact. The application of highly moisturizing products should be preferred, ideally in the evening after a shower. If you feel the need, there is no contraindication to moisturize your skin several times a day.
