  1. I have dry sensitive skin. Could somebody please recommend to me any cleansers, etc. that I could
    use? I also have eczema. I was wondering if Cetaphil is as good as or better than Eurecin? Please
    let me know.

  2. Omega 3, 6 , 9 fatty acids taken internally for at least six months.

    Sunbed tanning in controlled doses.Meditation, more sleep, more water. Reduce the stress in your
    life. Chemical, food sensitivities, emotional and any other form will agravate it.

    Start by bathing less often, with a moisturizing soap, and using body lotion right after bathing to
    prevent moisture loss. An occasional bath with Alpha Keri bath oil will be good.

    Drink more water, eat more animal fats, and try to increase the humidity in your house.

    And for the eczema, figure out what is causing it ... often it's dietary an dif you stop eating
    certain things, it goes away.

    I went for intolrence testing and was recomended a daily dose of Fish Oil / GLA at least 1000mg and
    the highest concentration of Evening Primrose Oil I could find in a single capsule which ended up
    being Solgar's at 1300mg..., although sceptical at first within 3-months the characteristics of my
    eczema had changed. Yes still there and still sensitive, but the general dryness and particular
    flakyness of the scalp has totally disappeared and never returned.

    On the face I found pure hi-potency Vitamin E cream to be very helpful and refreshing, but the
    slightest additive (e.g Calendula) causes me problems.

    Elsewhere; Dipobase good in the bath and also out of the bath, but I dont like E45 or Eurecin or
    that other moisturiser beginning with A - no, not Atrixo, something in yellow packaging with green
    writing on
    it.

    Good luck!

  5. Skin does not absorb oils. It repels them. This is why you have to wash and bath.

    Regarding diet and excema, I have noticed that when I cut back on my coffee and
    drink more water my skin starts to clear up. I only have to cut back a cup or two
    a day, adding only a cup or two of water, so it really takes very little to
    notice a difference.

    Which is a good thing, because I really NEED my coffee! 🙂
