I’ve been asked time and time again about controlling angry skin, be it due to bouts of eczema or spot flare ups. The answer is, unfortunately, not simple and doesn’t come in a bottle (though the subtraction or addition of a certain product may well make an enormous difference).
This video outlines some dietary changes that have impacted my skin and some of the products that helped it through a particularly difficult period recently where I had both eczema and spots to contend with. Below is a list of the products mentioned and links to their online stockists.
Key to calming skin down is understanding your particular aggressors, so before you buy any products do have a look through those you already own to see which ones are working and pay attention to the active ingredients and the base product in which they are suspended – more often than not skin doesn’t respond well to occlusive agents such as mineral oil, though each skin will have its own sensitivities triggered by different things. The trick to healthy skin is to find what makes your skin behave and tailoring your regime accordingly.
When watching, do please bear in mind that I have mentioned many products that impressed me so that I could to give you the largest scope to choose from. A large part of my doing this involves testing and testing and testing – you won’t need more than a handful even if you were starting at the beginning; if you were to use them all your skin would be overwhelmed and probably end up in a worse state.
