Dry skin needs a routine that cleanses gently and locks moisture in. Wash with our Soothing Body Wash, pat dry, then apply the Original Skin-Soothing Cream to the driest spots and follow with the 16 oz Oatmeal Body Lotion all over. On very dry days, finish with a few drops of Antioxidant Body Oil. Hands get their own care with Oatmeal Hand Cream and our breathable cotton gloves. Everything here is made with honey, colloidal oatmeal and plant oils for sensitive skin.

A Simple Body Routine for Dry, Eczema-Prone Skin

In winter, dry indoor air makes this routine matter even more. See does a humidifier help eczema?
Body Care FAQ
What's a good body care routine for eczema-prone skin?
Keep showers or baths short and lukewarm, use a gentle cleanser only where you need it, pat skin almost dry, and moisturize within about 3 minutes, as the American Academy of Dermatology suggests. Use lotion for large areas and a richer cream on the driest spots.
Should I use a lotion or a cream for eczema-prone skin?
Lotions are lighter and spread easily over arms, legs and backs. Creams are thicker and hold moisture longer on very dry patches. Many families use both, like we do with our kids. Our guide to ointment vs. cream vs. lotion explains the difference.
Which Eczema Honey body products are HSA/FSA eligible?
The Original Skin-Soothing Cream, Nut-Free Skin-Soothing Cream and Oatmeal Body Lotion are HSA/FSA eligible.
Is there a nut-free option?
Yes. The Original Skin-Soothing Cream contains almond oil, so if anyone in your home has a nut allergy, choose the Nut-Free Skin-Soothing Cream instead. Always check the full ingredient list.
How do I patch test a new body product?
Apply a small amount to the inner forearm once or twice a day for several days. If skin stays comfortable, it's a good sign. For babies and young children, check with your pediatrician first.
