Dealing with eczema can be extremely difficult if you're not aware of the best steps to help prevent and treat it.
There is so much advice to wade through but sticking to what the experts say is always key.
With one in 10 adults suffering from eczema in Ireland, sharing the methods that can help is vital for skincare expert Gemma Jones.
She recently told Her.ie that there is one thing eczema sufferers should never do.
The most important thing you can do to help prevent and treat this condition is to say no to soaps.
Gemma explained: "Say no to soaps When it comes to cleansing eczema-prone skin, gentle is the name of the game. Avoid soaps or heavily fragranced products as these can irritate the skin."
Gemma said the best thing you can do is to use soap-free products on your skin.
One affordable must-have is the Atoderm Shower Gel (200ml) €11, specially formulated for sensitive skin and suitable for the body, face, and hands.
For enhanced hydration, look to Atoderm Shower Oil (200ml) €13, designed to soothe irritation and leave skin feeling satin-soft and comfortable.
It will help calm everyday eczema symptoms while your skin is left feeling hydrated and comfortable.
