What is Eczema? Causes and Symptoms
Eczema affects people of all ages, including babies, and is not contagious. It often occurs in individuals with a family history of allergies, asthma, or other sensitivities. Eczema usually starts between the ages of 2 and 7, though adults can experience flare-ups as well.
Common eczema symptoms include:
While eczema is believed to involve an immune system response, proper care and gentle products can prevent flare-ups and keep skin hydrated and comfortable.
5 Ways to Manage Eczema Symptoms Effectively
1. Play Skin Safe
Use fragrance-free, chemical-free cleansers designed for sensitive skin. Avoid harsh soaps and alcohol-based products, which can dry and irritate eczema-prone skin.
Tip: Look for skincare products accredited as safe for sensitive skin, such as those listed by Made Safe Cosmetics.

2. Choose the Right Ingredients
Moisturising and barrier creams are essential. Look for ingredients that hydrate and protect without triggering irritation.
Beneficial ingredients for eczema-prone skin include:
Pro tip: Always do a patch test before using a new product on larger areas.

3. Wear Natural Fibre Clothing
Opt for cotton or other breathable fabrics to reduce irritation. Avoid synthetic fibres that can trigger eczema flare-ups. Soft, loose-fitting clothes allow your skin to breathe and prevent friction that worsens rashes.
4. Manage the Itch
Scratching can worsen eczema and cause infections. Keep nails short, moisturise regularly, and use soothing products like Sasy n Savy Purifying Facial Toner to calm inflamed areas.
5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Swimming pools and other chemical exposures can aggravate eczema. Chlorine and other pool chemicals may cause dryness and irritation. Limit contact with harsh chemicals during flare-ups and rinse skin thoroughly afterward.
