Internal Cleanse

You guessed it. H2O. LOTS of it. Our bodies – and therefore, our skin – are especially dehydrated in winter. We need to drink lots of water to keep our internal and external organs lubricated. Plus, the water helps flush out any toxins and impurities.

Sauna Steam

Sauna steam helps the body sweat out toxins and eliminate impurities. The best to do this is to find someone who knows how and follow their lead! Bring along your body brush or loofah, a washcloth, favourite soaps, scrubs and body oils. Ease into it, and then enjoy as often as you’d like. It does a body gooood!

Body Brushing

Body brushing is a very effective way to remove dead skin from your body. It’s also excellent for stimulating lymph nodes so they will eliminate impurities from within. So if you don’t have a body brush yet, go and find one with natural bristles and get on the body brushing train.

How to use a dry body brush:

• Find 10 minutes of alone time and lock yourself in the bathroom. Get naked and stand on a towel.
• Starting with the soles of your feet, use firm, short, sweeping brushes to brush the soles of your feet. Repeat 10-20 times on eat foot. Then begin with the tops of your feet and brush from your toes to your ankles. Still firm, still short, still upwards towards your heart. Repeat.
• Slowly make your way up to your knees, buttocks, go gently on your belly and chest (avoid nipples!), and again hands (both sides), arms, as much as you can reach on your back, shoulders, neck, and again gently on your face.
• The whole process should take 5-10 minutes. Afterwards, follow with a warm shower.
• Repeat 3x a week for maximum benefits.

Face Scrubs and Masks

And after you’ve hydrated, steamed and brushed your way to healthier skin, you can add some extra nutrients to your poor, always-exposed face. Grab any of these from your fridge and make a mask: eggs, grounds oats, ground almonds, mashed bananas or avocados or berries, honey. Even add cinnamon or turmeric for extra benefits. Mix together, apply to your face, and sit and relax for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

For body scrubs, use any dry ingredients like ground oats, ground almonds, baking soda, cinnamon, turmeric and add to honey, yogurt or water to make a paste. Then using circular, upwards motions, gently scrub your face for 2-3 minutes. Rinse with warm water and air dry. This is also a great time to apply an oil-based serum or balm, gently massage onto wet skin and let it soak in.

Your skin should look and feel great!

#1) Bathe LESS Often

Seriously. Less often. Like two max three times a week if you can hack it.

Use a sauna if you have access to one. If you shower/bathe, use warm (not hot) water. Hot water will dry out your skin and irritate the eczema.

#2) Use LESS Soap.

Only wash the parts that really need it (armpits, hands, etc.). Avoid private areas. And skin arms/legs/back, etc. Those areas get rinsed with soapy water anyways, and they don’t really get dirty.

Stick with a natural, vegetable oil based soap (or none at all) that won’t irritate your skin. Absolutely avoid synthetic fragrances, petroleum by-product soaps and hand sanitizers.

#3) Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize!

If you suffer from eczema all over your body, you may need more than the post treatments listed here. But for most folks, eczema flare ups tend to be on a few spots like hands, arms, back of knees, etc. Gather a really high quality, non-petroleum based balm (i.e. no water in it) and apply it morning and night to the affected area. if it’s hands, allow five minutes to fully rub it in. Repeat as needed. The moisturizer will protect the dry/rashy/irritated skin and will protect it from further damage.

What to use?

Of course, we are partial to the Healing Balm and Organic Baby Balm – both can be very successfully used to help heal eczema, skin rashes, psoriasis, etc. You can also try coconut oil, olive oil, or a number of other homemade recipes. Aim for organic, cold pressed oils whenever possible to get the most nutrients.

Additional Tips for Parents

If your wee one has eczema patches, first make sure it is really eczema, and not a self-diagnosed rash that may be eczema. if your little one has a food allergy or intolerance, treating the skin issue won’t make it go away. It’s still a great idea to try elimination diets to see if that helps. In the meantime, use your stealth superpowers to sneak into his/her room when he/she is sleeping and apply the balm where needed. Active, awake children, especially when they are young, will probably pick at the area once it itches, and may wipe off the balm. if you treat it before they know, you stand a better chance of letting it work it’s magic.

B-bye eczema!
