Oatmeal is a basic component in many Eczema creams and cures that are distributed in the market. Many these products claim to cure Eczema naturally. However, a closer inspection of the label would reveal that they carry lots of additives and chemicals. Parabens, sulfates, perfumes and dyes can cause damage on your skin. Oatmeal is beneficial for the skin, but these additives are not.
The only way to be sure that you’re actually using 100% oatmeal on your skin is by whipping up your own Eczema cream at home. It’s not as hard as it seems, especially since you already have most of the things you need. If you don’t have oatmeal in your kitchen, you can buy them from the grocery and you’ll still end up spending less. Oatmeal works wonders on Eczema, especially when it is used in conjunction with a good moisturizer.
Mix equal parts oatmeal and honey to create an all-natural Eczema cream for your face. Allow your skin to absorb the mixture before rinsing it clean with water. A few types of Eczema are caused by bacteria or viruses, and honey works as an antibacterial agent to keep infection at bay. This Eczema remedy works on dyshidrotic Eczema as well.
Complement your oatmeal Eczema cream with an equally effective oatmeal bath. Blend uncooked oatmeal in a food processor until a powdery consistency is achieved. Mix powdered oatmeal in water to check if it dissolves completely. Pour this slowly over your bath water, making sure there are no clumps or sediments at the bottom. Try to limit your bath time to 15 minutes, as excessive soaking in water aggravates rashes.
Before moisturizing with an Eczema cream, exfoliate your skin with a homemade oatmeal scrub. Mix oatmeal with egg whites to form an exfoliating facial mask. Allow the egg whites to dry before rinsing completely with water. Pat your skin gently with a soft towel, and then apply the oatmeal Eczema cream that you have prepared.
