Remember to keep moisturised throughout the day with aloe vera gelly and coconut oil mixed with shea butter. Or coconut oil if you are fine with that. When you need to wash the hairy parts of your body, you can use Aloe Vera liquid soap. However, the moor mud is cleansing in itself and you will not smell.
As it makes your skin 7% softer, you can take these baths three times in a row, then ease off to twice a week until the itchiness dies down. After this, you can maintain your skin by having a bath once a week.
For Wet Eczema Patches
Wet Eczema patches need to be dried out gently. For this, you can smear some French White Argiletz clay paste onto the patches and let it sit til almost dry before gently rinsing off and patting dry with a T-shirt. Apply shea butter to moisturise. As a little shea butter goes a long way, you do not need much. As it is thick, you can melt it with 1 -2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a thick glass bowl within a pot half-filled with water. Then place the pot on medium heat.
As for your hair – you can shampoo it with Forever Living Aloe Shampoo and Aloe Conditioner. This is suitable for all hair types.
Warm oil treatments. You can also do this every two weeks to keep your scalp and hair moisturised.
Step 1. Depending on the length of your hair, section it and apply a quarter cup of extra virgin olive oil to damp hair.
Step 2. Next, rake your fingers through each section of hair from the roots to the ends. Ensure the tips get a good helping of oil.
Step 3. Cover your head with a plastic bag or a large shower cap.
Step 4. Wrap your head with a large towel. Leave it on for half an hour or overnight.
Step 5. Shampoo with Forever Aloe Shampoo the following morning. Rinse thoroughly twice.
Step 6. Apply Forever Aloe Conditioner, leave on for 10 minutes.
Step 7. Rinse out the conditioner.
This warm oil treatment is deeply moisturising. Following this routine every time before washing your hair will leave it stronger and softer.
Due to lockdown procedures worldwide, there was mass production of sanitizer. People who did not have eczema on their hands before started having it due to all the frequent hand-washing. Fortunately, Forever Living created a skin-friendly Aloe Sanitizer which is still moisturising to hands while it works. Don’t go without one!
Environmentally
Hopefully, you should realise that furry pets cannot live with you at home as they tend to trigger flare ups and asthma attacks! Your clothes need to be mostly made from cotton, linen, satin, or silk as these are cool to the touch. This includes underwear and coats. Polyester puffer jackets, gilets, and coats tend to overheat.
Talking about heat, make sure to turn off the central heating in winter. It is better to use an electric oil heater, which you can turn on during the day for a short period to warm your room up.
For your bed, make sure to get rid of the duvet which can host dust mites. Get a cotton throw instead and use cotton bed sheets and pillowcases. A hypoallergenic pillow is also a good idea.
For footwear, leather is way better than plastic, which can trigger eczema.
During summer, keep your house cool with fans and open your windows when indoors to allow air circulation.
Fragrance and perfumes can also be an allergen, so be aware of them in household detergents, cosmetics, lotions, and creams.
Furniture should be leather (if you can afford it) and covered with cotton throws to prevent getting a leather burn from rubbing your skin against it.
So now you know how to keep eczema at bay.

Conclusion:
If you follow the steps above, eczema can be cleared in one month, especially if it is widespread. Cutting out sugar is key to eczema patches becoming less itchy and giving them a chance to heal. Stick to eating more natural food and be careful. Even after detoxing, if you go back to eating junk and highly processed food, the eczema can rear its ugly head again.
