My Eczema-Calming Summer Routine
Share
(Especially for elbows, knees, neck, armpits — where flare-ups hit hardest)
☀️ AM ROUTINE
1. Gentle Cleanse (if needed)
– Use cool water or a gentle, fragrance-free cream cleanser (if skin feels sweaty or congested).
– No over-washing — this can strip your skin barrier even more.
2. Calm & Seal
– Apply Calm Cactus Oil while skin is still slightly damp.
– Focus on flare-prone areas. This oil is rich in prickly pear and omega-6s, which help calm inflammation and restore the lipid barrier.
3. Moisturise
– Layer Hemp Dream Cream over the oil to lock in hydration.
– Rich in ceramides and calendula — ideal for dry, itchy, reactive skin.
4. SPF (if exposed to sun)
– Choose a mineral-based SPF (zinc or titanium) with no alcohol or fragrance.
PM ROUTINE
🌙
1. Lukewarm rinse or cleanse
– Gently wash off sweat, SPF, or environmental debris (especially after workouts).
2. Calm Cactus Oil
– A few drops go a long way — massage it into sensitive areas.
3. Hemp Dream Cream
– Apply generously to any dry, flared, or itchy areas. You can even slug with it if your skin is cracked or flaky.
🧘BONUS SUPPORT (That made a big difference for me):
- Magnesium & Adaptogens: help regulate your nervous system → less stress = fewer flare-ups
- Magnesium Bath Salts - Rêver Beau Recovery bath salts.
- Loose, breathable clothing: especially around armpits and joints
- Cool compress or aloe mist: after workouts or hot days
