10 Tips to Relieve Your Atopic Skin

Skin that suffers from extreme dryness and red, itchy patches, which can be difficult to manage in everyday life. In recent years, the number of people with atopic dermatitis has continued to rise. Here are 10 tips to help relieve your atopic skin. 

How can you tell if you have atopic skin?

Is it atopic dermatitis? A seasonal allergy? A reaction to a cosmetic product? To help you identify atopic dermatitis, keep in mind that there are three phases. Atopic skin always reacts the same way. If you recognize these stages and experience them on a daily basis, then there’s a good chance your skin is atopic: 

1.  Your skin looks rough. Do you notice any redness, itching, or inflammation? 
2. Do your inflammations sometimes form small blisters? Small vesicles containing a clear fluid;
3. When you scratch your rash, do scabs form and your skin peel?

These inflammations and itchiness can occur in one or more areas of the body. If they keep recurring in the same spot, the skin thickens, darkens, and becomes rough.

Atopic Skin: 10 Tips to Follow

1. Regularly applying a moisturizer to the skin is part of managing atopic skin. (Morning and evening)
2. Avoid products that contain fragrances or chemical preservatives
3. Wash with lukewarm water, not hot water
4. Keep your nails short during a flare-up to avoid injuring yourself by scratching
5. Choose soft fabrics that don't irritate the skin
6. Avoid rooms where the heat is too hot
7. Choose soap-free cleansers
8. Pat your skin dry with a towel—don't rub it 
9. Avoid hand sanitizers
10. Don't stop applying the cream, even if your skin is getting better
