Moisture and skin should always go hand in hand. Your body  know this, that is why it produces oil. The oil released into your skin works to form a protective barrier against the irritants and allergens that cause eczema. Unfortunately, young children may not be able to produce enough oil to moisturize and protect their skin sufficiently. As an eczema treatment, children should also have a quality moisturizer applied daily. A quality moisturizer is typically made from simple, natural ingredients that will not aggravate the condition. These moisturizers will further hydrate the skin and enhance its own protective barrier function. One of the best times to apply moisturizers is right after a bath. The skin can absorb the moisturizer more when it is clean but still damp. If you make applying moisturizers part of your childâ??s bath time routine you will be giving their skin the boost it needs to stay eczema free.
