Soothe your Eczema with K-Beauty

This week we are discussing the impact of eczema on our skin care routine. Have you been dealing with the repetitive and unscratchable issue of eczema? Well, you’re not alone! An estimated 15 million people in the United Kingdom also live with the skin condition. To help spread awareness of National Eczema Week which takes place 17-25 September 2018, TONIC15 and our K-Beauty brands focus on debunking the irritating skincondition.

Let the pampering begin!   

When your eczema starts misbehaving, you can often experience skin that becomes itchy, red, scaly and in extremely severe cases, skin that may bleed or weep. The cause of eczema is actually unknown but could occur if you’re sensitive to allergens, if it runs in your family and commonly develops alongside other conditions, such as asthma. So if this sounds all too familiar to you, keep reading to find out how our K-Beauty brands can help you.

Know your ingredients

Moisturising ingredients like shea butter, glycerin, and lanolin are key in keeping eczema-prone skin hydrated and supple. They also help to repair damaged skinand overall, give you a healthier glow. Hyaluronic acid is another ingredient vital to an eczema sufferer. Its properties help to draw out moisture from the air around you and into your dry skin– it’s practically magic. Niacinamide, or also known as vitamin B3, can also help to lessen the redness caused from eczema by increasing your skin’s natural barrier. This is the perfect base ingredient to apply just before putting on your make-up. Finally, you may be well aware that simply moisturising your eczema flare up does little to pacify your irritated skin. Products with ingredients such as beeswax help to form a protective layer on the surface of your skin, locking in moisture and calming your itchy skin.

There are also a few ingredients TONIC15 think you should avoid at all costs. Parabens, sodium lauryl & laureth sulfate, synthetic dyes, alcohol and fragrance are all components eczema sufferers should steer clear of.
