Eczema Bath

When it comes to soothing your eczema skin or your child’s eczema it is important to understand the best way to do this. There are some people advocating bleach baths for eczema. This entails adding a half a cup of bleach to the bath water and soaking in the water to address the problem of infected skin. This may help with the infection, however it may also dry the skin out and open the skin to the possibility of more infection.

Colloidal oatmeal baths on the other hand offer a more soothing bath for eczema skin and will also help prevent the itch quite often associated with eczema. Colloidal oatmeal will stay suspended in the water, coating the skin evenly and locking in the moisture. Robertson’s Bath Soak contains colloidal oatmeal along with calendula and magnesium sulphate.

Magnesium sulphate will soften the skin and relax the muscles. Calendula has anti-inflammatory properties as well as anti-bacterial and anti-fungal benefits. Combined, all three ingredients help to sooth and calm dry and inflamed skin conditions.
