Do you have atopy prone skin?

Do you have atopy prone skin? Before you answer, a brief explanation of what atopy prone skin is. Atopic dermatitis is a long-term skin disease. “Atopic” refers to a tendency to develop allergy conditions. “Dermatitis” means swelling of the skin.

The most common symptoms of atopic dermatitis are:

• Dry and itchy skin
• Rashes on the face, inside the elbows, behind the knees, and on the hands and feet.

Scratching the skin can cause:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Cracking
• “Weeping” clear fluid
• Crusting
• Thick skin
• Scaling

Often, the skin gets worse (flares), and then it improves or clears up (remissions).

So what types of products are best for this problematic skin? Abloomnova offer many products to help relieve and nourish atopy prone skin.

Babor Neuro Sensitive Cellular Intensive Calming Shower Milk

An intensively conditioning shower milk for extremely dry, irritable and hypersensitive skin. Can also be used – during symptom-free periods – as an adjunctive treatment for skin affected by neurodermatitis/atopic eczema and psoriasis.

This product desensitises and calms the skin and instantly reduces redness, itching and irritations. It reduces the over-reaction of the skin’s own immune system, reduces bacteria and interrupts the inflammatory processes and repairs and strengthens the skin‘s barrier.

Gatineau Nutriactive Mediation Rich Cream – Mediation Creme Confort

This rich comfort cream is designed to add a layer of protection across the skin. It fights the effects of thermal shock from hot to cold, a perfect barrier against heating, air-conditioning, harsh weather, wind or snow. Great to combat the effect when flying and also when swimming in chlorinated or salt water. As this is a barrier cream it also helps comfort skin suffering from eczema or dermatitis. Gentle enough to use even on a baby suffering from dry skin.
