Sensitive skin is unpredictable, especially during summer when sweat and other allergens get in touch with your skin. It gets red, bumpy, itchy, and irritated with complete dryness, causing more irritation and urging you to scratch more. This common skin issue, otherwise known as Eczema or atopic dermatitis, can happen to people of any age but is not contiguous.
Eczema only aggravates when the skin comes into contact with external irritants. The symptoms include dry or scaly patches, discoloured skin, redness, open sores, and exacerbated itchiness. The skin is prone to several other skin infections. When left untreated, eczema leads to severe long-term consequences. Its abnormal skin inflammation damages other skin cells and tissues.
Thehealthsite.com consulted a skin-tech expert to maintain the proper discipline to avoid this skin condition. Certified Facial Yoga Expert and founder of House of Beauty, Vibhuti Arora, says, " For those having Eczema, developing the right skincare routine is essential. The symptoms worsen if one doesn't follow a systematic and SLS-free skincare routine. So, it's better to be strict with your minimal and natural skincare during the summer. Use soothing ingredients like lemon balm leaf, green tea or cucumber-based products to strengthen your skin barrier."
This recurring skin issue needs a daily disciplined care regime. By following a proper skincare regime, one can manage to reduce eczema in the long run.
It is better to follow an elimination diet, a technique where you avoid some food for a temporary time. However, before following this diet, it is advisable to get a recommendation from a doctor.
