in search for an effective eczema relief, i tried various creams & lotions to constantly moisturize my hands..since i have learned that eczema can be quite difficult to get rid off, there are also so many factors to consider when treating skin issues like that..
i am fortunate that my eczema isn’t that bad anymore due to some changes i made in my everyday living..since i am a full time mom who does everything from cooking to doing the laundry as well as washing the dishes, i try to do everything now wearing gloves since i suspected that household cleaners are the culprits in starting my eczema flare-ups..i tried to figure out & pinpoint the culprits & tried my best to avoid those products..this is basically the key in fighting the problem..
yes! as u can see i have used different kinds & brands of petroleum jelly & chest rubs..yeah i know i know! you might be wondering WTH does chest rub got to do with eczema?!? well, if you are so desperate like me in finding ways & means to alleviate the itch you are experiencing from eczema you would try everything!
PETROLEUM JELLY (VASELINE vs BEAUTY FORMULAS vs J.CHEMIE)
i find VASELINE & the BEATUY FORMULAS petroleum jelly cream tremendously helpful in getting the feel of moisturized hands..the J.CHEMIE petroleum jelly is way too sticky for me..it doesn’t give my extremely dry hands a quenched feeling..anyway, the only difference i noticed between the VASELINE & BEAUTY FORMULAS petroleum jelly is that the latter has too much coconut fragrance in it that as per my dermatologist i should avoid using because of the scents & fragrances they add to it that may cause allergic reactions to extra sensitive skin..but overall they both work wonders..
CHEST RUBS (PERFECT PURITY vs PERSONAL CARE vs PERCARA)
as with the chest rubs, i find all three: the PERSONAL CARE, PERFECT PURITY & PERCARA soothing & really helpful in relieving the itch..for me they ALL have the same soothing & cooling effects that i needed when extreme itchiness happens..
CETAPHIL MOISTURIZING CREAM
and lastly, the CETAPHIL moisturizing cream which is the best of the best!!! yes! it’s really good — it doesn’t give me an “icky” feel & it is very moisturizing..
i hope this product review can help someone that also suffers from eczema..
