So today is the last day i get to enjoy my medical leave before I drag my lazy bum bum down to school...haha!! i've missed a total of 15 lectures and i feel so lazy to go through all of them..I shld start soon!. like today. And oh i havent even started on my dietttt yet..gawd. but my eczema seems to improve a lil...my neck is no longer itching, and so are the fold on my arms...But my ankles r still horrible..i'll upload my pics soon.
I am currently using Physiogel lotion as my moisturiser, and by far, it is the best non-chemical free moisturiser ever!! I am trying to remain as chemical-free as I can, but my skin doesn't seem to accept it. I get skin reaction action when i applied coconut oil/borage oil/shea butter/cocoa butter to my eczema patches. The only natural moisturiser which works for me is Pure rosehip oil, by A'kin. 2 small bottles cost me ard sgd $48, which is very pricey for me cause im still a student, and i dont earn that much :( I am still using it for my face and neck tho..and the pigmentation from my neck is visibly reduced :) I'll upload my pics soon!!! pfft If only i had the money to invest on pure rosehip oil for my whole body lol!!!...
Anw another powerful natural remedy for eczema is Pure Aloe Vera gel, straight from Aloe Vera plant. It is good in soothing out the itch. I rmbr one night i was itching so badly, i just rubbed the aloe vera gel on my whole leg and ohh my it neverrrrr felttt that good. But i am too lazy of a person to extract out the gel each time my skin itches :| And i heard u can't keep it for a long time as oxidation occurs as soon as the gel is exposed to the air.
The other non-organic/non-chemical free lotion i tried were:
QV Lotion - Contains mineral oil, one of the bad ingredients for eczema. The moisturising effect is not great and it doesnt control the itch at all.
Skin MD - Too pricey for a small bottle.
Dermaveen - This is quite okay, I've been using it for awhile, but i find Physiogel way better than this
I am currently using A'kin Sensitive Fragrance Free Body wash and its the best ever! I tried other organic body wash but A'kin suits my skin most! Previously I used their shampoo as well, but like i mention earlier, i can't afford that much..I am always looking out for cheaper alternatives so recently i "downgraded" to Avalon Clarifying Lemon shampoo...Now Avalon is okay, my hair feels clean and all, but its a lil drying. A'kin is so much better but i cant afford it nouuuuuu!!!
