Face Cleansing with Eczema

Hey guys! I have Eczema (for those who dont know what that is, its basically dry, red, itchy skin) and I don't wash my face because it usually makes it start to burn and get worse. I dont break out, but it causes my face to peal and it just doesn't look too good. It looks even worse when I wear makeup :/ Does anybody know if there are any face cleansers designed especially for eczema? or if you do have eczema, what face cleansers do you use?

one of my friends has the same problem! she uses cetaphyl and after she'd been using it work a week her skin looked so much better! she said it was really gentle aswell! so I recommend you give cetaphyl a try, you can get it from most chemists and it's at a very reasonable price!

I've been using African black soap for about 3-4 weeks now. I have a huge patch of eczema on my neck. It used to get so dry and red, especially because of the colder weather. Since I started using the soap, my eczema hasn't gotten red or flaky. It's starting to clear up completely, which I'm so happy about. I got it at Walgreens under $5, by Shea moisture. I think it has a nice smell to it too.

Cleansing oils and cleansing lotions will be your best friend. Make sure they're unscented, as fragrance can irritate skin that's already sensitive.
