Skin Care Questions and Answers About Super Rich Olive Body Lotion
|
 |
I was wondering if you can help me with picking out any products for my eczema condition. My eczema developed after I turned 30 and it is around my elbows. It is extremely dry and flaky. When I am sleeping, I do not realize that I am scratching it so hard that often times I find them bleeding the next morning. I started to use a sugar scrub in the shower and stopped putting lotion and hydrocortizone on it after the shower. I do notice that it is better but now it is white and flaky looking. Are there any products that I can use whether in the shower, after shower and/or at moments when it is irritating? A scrub, lotion, type of ointment? Your help will be greatly appreciated....Read Response

Eczema is a skin condition involving superficial inflammation of the skin primarily affecting the epidermis that causes dryness, itching and red rashes which are often coupled with a scaly surface. The severity of the condition may vary for each individual. Eczema is a skin condition that must be diagnosed by a dermatologist. If you are experiencing extremely dry, flaky skin, using emollients will protect the skin from water loss which helps to prevent dryness. By providing a barrier, the skin is less dry, itchy and flaky. I would recommend the following soothing products to help offer intense moisture and calming relief. Start by using the Seaweed Bubble Bath And Shower Gel in the shower to cleanse and soften skin. This seaweed based gel contains sesame oil to nourish and moisturize the skin. After showering, apply the Super Rich Olive Body Lotion to seal in moisture, leaving skin soft and silky. Every morning, apply the Control Cream on any dry, rough, flaky areas such as your elbows. This Salicylic Acid based formulation may be used before bedtime as an intense treatment to alleviate discomfort.

| I have been taking two chemotherapy drugs (Tarceva and Zometa). The good news is that they are containing the cancer, but they also dry my skin to a remarkable degree. I have tried cleansers, treatments and moisturizers from Nia24, Eucerin, Aveeno, DHC and Scosh, as well as Aquaphor. I am still so dry that my skin flakes off all over my body as well as my face. Any ideas about which products I might try?...Read Response

First of all, we are glad you are feeling better. Since the two chemotherapy drugs (Tarceva and Zometa) you are using to control the cancer caused extreme dryness on the face and body, we can recommend a hydrating regimen that will soothe and nourish your skin. The Cream Soap may be used twice daily to gently cleanse sensitive skin types. Follow with the Chamomile Cleansing Lotion toner to help instantly soothe dry sensitive skin. The Chamomile Eye Cream may be used under the eye area morning and night. The skin around the eyes is very delicate, thin, and susceptible to damage. Wrinkles and fine lines are made more obvious when skin is dry, so keeping the area moisturized will keep it looking supple, and fine lines will be less obvious. Use the Complex Moisturizer With Vitamin E (SPF-20) daily after toning. It contains Vitamins A & E and Hyaluronic Acid to lock in skins natural moisture along with a high SPF for daily protection. Lastly, the Protein Night Cream is the perfect night cream for you. Intense moisture replenishing night cream enriched with Vitamin A and collagen to reduce the effects of aging. As for dry skin on the body, we would recommend the Super Rich Olive Body Lotion. Creamy, rich Olive Oil based lotion restores moisture and leaves the skin feeling soft and silky without a greasy residue. Leaves skin feeling supple and nourished year round.
