Want to learn more about <winter eczema and psoriasis flare ups then click here!> If you suffer from eczema or psoriasis there are several natural ingredients which when applied topically may help you manage your condition. Here, we’ve rounded up our best beauty products for helping ease the symptoms of eczema and psoriasis:
Coconut oil is a hero beauty ingredient for moisturising for many, but did you know that it also has anti-fungal, anti-microbial, antioxidant and antibacterial properties that can help reduce inflammation. Caprylic and capric acid, and vitamins E and K help control itching, flaking and spread of infection. Coconut oil also contains medium-chain triglycerides which help repair the protective outer layers of the skin.
Aloe vera is a super hydrating ingredient that contains minerals. Due to aloe vera’s power to penetrate deep into the dermis these micro-nutrients are delivered to where they need to be. We recommend using the gel after washing and the cream on particular troublesome areas throughout the day, like a barrier cream.
When applied regularly to the affected area, vitamin E is proven to have effective results on both eczema and psoriasis. This is because vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and helps tackle inflammation in the skin. We recommend applying the oil after bathing and the cream on those patches that need intensive treatment.
Scalp dermatitis and scalp psoriasis are conditions that the sufferer can be particularly conscious of because the symptoms are fairly obvious to others. JASON Dandruff Relief 2-in-1 Treatment Shampoo & Conditioner is a dual action, medicated formula that cleanses and conditions in one easy step. Formulated with active ingredient Pyrithione Zinc to control dandruff and prevent itchiness. Wheat Protein strengthens the hair whilst nourishing Jojoba Oil adds weightless softness and manageability. Hair is soft, conditioned and flake-free. It is also safe to use on all hair types.
