Eczema Feet And Hands
okay... I have horrible eczema on my feet and hands, but my best friends wedding is coming up...?
I have to wear strappy sandals and a sleeveless shirt and I am worried about it showing really badly. What can I do to minimize or hide it. pantyhose may or may not be an option... it's all up to her.
1.) Avoid using harsh detergents and soaps. 2.) Bathe in tea (I know it sounds a little strange, but it moisturizes and provides an alternative to a soapy bubble bath.) 3.) Use a rich lotion daily.
The first step, avoiding chemicals that can cause a reaction, might seem difficult at first. Remember that some products dry out the skin more than others, so look for soaps with added moisturizers and products made for sensitive skin.
Try putting a few tea bags, such as chamomile or green tea, in the bath tub and run hot water over them. Chamomile tea produces a relaxing aroma and can soothe the body as it moisturizes. Green tea is more invigorating and has skin-firming qualities. Some skin-firming lotions actually contain green tea extracts.
Finally, moisturizing. Try an olive, cocoa or shea butter lotion. These lotions are thick and ultra-soothing.
And one last thought: Don't scratch! No matter how annoying the itching is, scratching will only make it worse.
