Atopic skin is dry skin that encounters several other problems that can make daily life uncomfortable.
It requires special attention and requires appropriate care.
Find out more about atopic skin in this article, and about the treatments that can provide you with daily relief.
What is atopic skin?
Atopic dermatitis can refer to an allergy or hypersensitivity of the epidermis. Thus, simple contact with clothing, exposure to the sun or the application of certain products can trigger various unpleasant symptoms.
These include the appearance of red patches or very dry areas, flaky skin, very uncomfortable dry skin, itching or even the appearance of eczema. In the worst cases, the patches can ooze and form crusts on the skin, leaving marks that take time to disappear.
Atopic skin can affect adults as well as children and concerns more than 10% of the French population. Finally, atopic dermatitis is generally located on the upper part of the body.
How to relieve atopic skin?
Atopic skin therefore needs special care . By using suitable care, you can improve your daily quality of life and reduce unpleasant symptoms.
Here we offer you natural solutions , which obviously do not replace medical advice or the prescription of your doctor.
Apply emollient care
Regardless of the intensity of the inflammation, it is important to take care of your skin by applying suitable treatments to repair and protect your skin from external aggressions .
In case of crisis and itching or severe inflammation, you can immediately apply our Universal Concentrate . This SOS treatment has a natural, vegan and Ecocert Cosmos Organics certified formula. It contains 6 ultra-repairing active ingredients that gently treat sensitive areas while quickly soothing irritations. Its 30ml format allows you to take it everywhere with you to quickly relieve symptoms during the day.
Of course, we also recommend that you apply a cream daily to keep your skin healthy. You can opt for the Baume des Dieux . This highly concentrated treatment in organic cocoa butter and organic shea butter nourishes and soothes the skin. You can apply it morning and evening, especially after showering.
Finally, if you have noticed that you have atopic skin on very localized areas , you can apply Théobroma Universal Cream every evening. Rich and creamy, enriched with organic coconut oil, cocoa butter and organic carnauba wax, you can apply it to areas prone to eczema.
Choosing the right actions in the shower
By adopting good habits, you can limit the symptoms of atopic dermatitis .
For example, opt for short, lukewarm showers. Avoid boiling showers, as comforting as they may be! Choose your shower products carefully , and always opt for a natural or pH-neutral composition. Be careful to avoid preservatives and perfumes. When you get out of the shower, avoid rubbing your skin too vigorously. Use a soft towel and gently pat your skin.
Avoid risk factors
Choose your laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid carefully. A chemical composition that is too aggressive may cause your skin to react, whether you are doing the dishes or simply wearing your clothes.
Some fabrics and materials can be harsh on your skin. So choose the composition of your clothes, for example by choosing breathable organic cotton.
Your immediate environment can also have an influence. Remember to air your home regularly and opt for good hygiene. This will prevent the proliferation of mites, which can cause inflammatory reactions. Wash your sheets regularly and avoid choosing carpet in your bedroom.
Finally, other factors can aggravate atopy , such as heat, the environment, allergies or stress. We recommend that you keep a diary with the products used or the clothes worn during each atopic crisis. You will then be able to adapt your hygiene or lifestyle to avoid the appearance of these unpleasant symptoms.
