Eczema and bathing – how to do it right

Everyone likes bathing. A bath full of hot water and a soothing smell seems to be the best way to relax after a hard day, especially during winter. But not every skin likes that kind of relaxation. If you deal with eczema you need to be careful during your bath time and remember some principles to make sure you do not harm yourself.


The main principles about bathing if you suffer from eczema


Suffering from eczema does not mean you must give up bathing at all. It means you have to be careful and change some habits which most people have.

Calm water is better than hot water. It is rather difficult but significant to give up bathing in hot water. Hot water may exacerbate symptoms and weaken the skin protection barrier. What is more, change a long bath with a short bath. Fifteen minutes is the maximum time of safe bathing for skin with eczema. You should better throw out your washing sponge. This product may damage your skin, embitter the injuries, and cause pain. The same problem concerns an inadequate towel. The best for skin with eczema is a delicate and soft towel, produced with natural, organic fabrics like cotton. It is important not to rub skin with a towel but to dry it gently. Last but not least, do not use bubble baths and other foaming products with fragrances and dyes. It contains SLS, parabens, and many chemical components which can irritate your skin.
