Eczema is a common skin condition that affects millions of people, including babies and young children. It causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, which can be uncomfortable and distressing. At BEETL Skincare, we understand how important it is to care for sensitive skin, and we’re here to share simple, natural ways to soothe and manage eczema. 

What Is Eczema? 

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that leads to irritation, redness, and dryness. While the exact cause is unknown, it is often linked to genetics, environmental triggers, and an overactive immune response. Common triggers include allergens, harsh soaps, temperature changes, and stress.

How to Soothe Eczema Naturally 

Managing eczema is all about keeping the skin hydrated and avoiding irritants. Here are some gentle ways to care for eczema-prone skin: 

1. Use Gentle, Fragrance-Free Skincare 

Harsh soaps and fragranced products can aggravate eczema. Opt for natural, fragrance-free skincare products, like BEETL’s soothing balms and oils, which are designed to nourish delicate skin without irritation. 

2. Moisturise Regularly 

Keeping the skin well-hydrated is key to preventing dryness and flare-ups. Apply a rich, natural moisturiser or oil immediately after bathing to lock in moisture. 

3. Take Lukewarm Baths 

Hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils, making eczema worse. Stick to lukewarm baths with mild, soap-free cleansers, and gently pat the skin dry instead of rubbing.
