Eczema Awareness Month: How Coco Skin Therapy Can Help You Soothe and Hydrate Your Skin

by Coco Skin Therapy

At Coco Skin Therapy, we believe in helping you love the skin you’re in. October is Eczema Awareness Month, and for those dealing with eczema, we know how challenging it can be to manage dry, irritated skin, especially as the weather cools. With the drop in temperature comes the increased need for moisture, and that’s where we come in! Our mission is to provide soothing, deeply hydrating products that can bring relief to dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin.

Understanding Eczema

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition that causes red, itchy patches of dry skin. It’s most common in children, but adults experience it too, and it often flares up during colder months when the air is drier. The most important part of managing eczema is keeping your skin hydrated and avoiding triggers that can lead to flare-ups, such as harsh chemicals, fragrances, or overly hot showers.

How Coco Skin Therapy Can Help

At Coco Skin Therapy, we’ve crafted gentle, deeply moisturizing products specifically designed to support those with dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. Here’s how our coconut-based skincare products can help soothe your skin and keep it hydrated all year long:

1. Coconut Oil: Your Skin's Best Friend

Coconut oil is renowned for its ability to lock in moisture and create a protective barrier on the skin, which is essential for eczema care. Our Coconut Oil Body Butter is rich in this natural oil, offering intense hydration without irritation. It’s perfect for daily use to soothe dry patches and prevent flare-ups.

2. Gentle Cleansing

One of the keys to managing eczema is avoiding harsh cleansers that strip the skin of its natural oils. Our Coconut Hydrating Cleanser is specially formulated to cleanse the skin without causing further dryness or irritation. It leaves your skin feeling refreshed and moisturized, not tight and uncomfortable.

3. Exfoliate with Care

Exfoliation can be tricky when you have eczema, but it’s still important to remove dead skin cells. Our Coconut Sugar Scrub is gentle enough for sensitive skin and provides a soft, smooth finish without aggravating eczema-prone areas.

4. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize

Eczema sufferers know that keeping the skin hydrated is crucial. Our Coconut Body Butter and Coconut Oil are deeply nourishing, creating a barrier to lock in moisture and reduce dryness. Apply liberally after bathing and as needed throughout the day to keep your skin supple and comfortable.

5. Avoid Fragrances and Harsh Chemicals

Eczema-prone skin often reacts negatively to synthetic fragrances and chemicals found in many skincare products. That’s why Coco Skin Therapy products are crafted with natural, skin-loving ingredients free from harsh additives, making them ideal for sensitive skin.

Eczema-Friendly Skincare Tips for Fall and Winter

As the weather cools and the air becomes drier, eczema can become more difficult to manage. Here are some tips to help keep your skin happy and hydrated:

  • Use a Humidifier: Dry indoor air can worsen eczema symptoms, so keep your space humidified to maintain moisture levels in your skin.
  • Moisturize Often: Apply moisturizer immediately after showering or bathing to lock in moisture.
  • Dress in Layers: Wool and other rough fabrics can irritate the skin. Stick to soft, breathable fabrics like cotton and layer your clothing for warmth.
  • Take Lukewarm Showers: Hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Opt for lukewarm showers and limit your time in the water.
