There is Hope for Treating Eczema

Eczema has become more and more common in our society. When I first gave birth to my elder daughter, eczema was not the norm. But a few years later when I gave birth to my younger daughter, I have heard a lot of my friends’ kids suffering from eczema. Unfortunately, my younger daughter is also suffering from eczema since she was born.

When the weather is hot and humid, her skin turned to red and rashes easily. The red patches are normally very itchy and she couldn’t stop scratching her skin hence worsen the situation. Over the years,I have done a lot of study online and went for workshops to seek advice from the expert.

Last month, I had participated the workshop conducted by Eau Thermale Avène (Malaysia) with the theme of ‘Hope for Eczema’ held at Boulevard Hotel Mid Valley, thanks to the sponsored by Eau Thermale Avène Malaysia. There, I have learnt that they are a lot of kids and even adults suffering from serious eczema. Atopic Eczema is called Atopic Dermatitis in scientific name, where everything begins in infancy, with dry skin that becomes porous and cracks. In fact, some of the patients are having serious Atopic Eczema that they have to go to Avène Hydrotherapy Centre located in South-West France for treatment once a year. They use the soothing Avène Therma Spring Water to treat skin disorders for over 2800 patients upon dermatologist prescription every year.

I am thankful that my girl’s case was mild and I had encountered Eau Thermale Avène, a brand that has hundred years of history for treating sensitive and eczema skin. I had tried a range of Eau Thermale Avène products on my girl and they had help to sooth, calm and heal my girl’s eczema over 3 weeks. The products that I am using on my daughter are listed below;

1. Eau Thermale Avène Xera Calm A.D. Cleansing Oil (400ml)

This is a new product by Eau Thermale Avène. I personally use cleansing oil a lot on my face, this is my first time using cleansing oil to clean the body for my girls. Contain I-modulla™ complex, CER-OMEGA and rich in AveneThermale Spring Water, the Eau Thermale Avène XeraCalm A.D. Cleansing Oil is rich in texture to provide the skin a better resistance against external aggressions. Eau Thermale Avène XeraCalm A.D. Cleansing Oil is soap-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free but when emulsify with water, it will foam up a bit. It could be used in shower by lather onto wet hands before applying to the skin, as well as in bath where we pour the equivalent of 5 pumps into bathwater filling the tub. Rinse thoroughly and dry without rubbing.

Result? Clean and nourished skin without feeling tangling nor irritation.
