Atopic Skin: Causes, Care and Tips to Soothe Irritation

Atopic skin is prone to extreme itching, redness, and dryness. If you suffer from eczema or frequent irritation, this article will give you tips on how to better care for your skin on a daily basis.

Why is my skin atopic?

Atopic skin is very dry and fragile skin that does not produce enough lipids to ensure its protective function. The result? It allows allergens and external irritants to pass through, causing inflammation. This condition is often hereditary, but can also be aggravated by environmental factors such as cold, stress or certain chemicals.

How to take care of atopic skin?

1. Adopt a gentle, hydrating routine

✔️ Use gentle cleansers : Avoid harsh soaps and opt for cleansing oils or superfatted gels.

✔️ Intensely moisturize : Apply a rich shea butter balm or whipped cream to nourish and protect your skin.

✔️ Dry gently : Pat the skin with a towel rather than rubbing.

2. Avoid external aggressions

🚫 Avoid perfumed products, alcohol, and sulfates, which can irritate the skin.

🚿 Limit hot showers which dry out the skin even more.

👕 Prefer cotton clothing and avoid wool and synthetic materials.

3. Focus on soothing natural ingredients

🌿 Shea butter : Ultra nourishing, it repairs and soothes.

🌿 Suitable vegetable oils, such as sweet almond : Known for its calming and protective properties.

🌿 Hydrosols : Refreshes and soothes irritations.

4. Adopt a healthy lifestyle

💧 Drink plenty of water to maintain good internal hydration.

🍏 Choose an anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3 , found in oily fish and flax seeds for example.
