Lush soap for eczema

sixtiesgal_2

Does anyone use Lush soaps for eczema? I have always avoided soap but a friend of mine who suffers with eczema too uses a honey soap from Lush and says its good. I have been using emolient washes and bath oils but they don't make me feel clean so I want an alternative. I use E45 cream to moisturise with and that suits me fine.

I have eczema and I use:
HIWTK
Porridge
sultana of soap
figs of leaves
snow fairy
god mother
rock star
twilight
joy of jelly
turkish delight
buffy body butter

i use oilatum oil inbetween and i ALWAYS use the oilatum cream after every shower. I did try the dream cream once and it's great but not a permanent use cream for eczema. you still need straight oil based creams to keep it at bay.

I avoid all citrus stuff in lush, but i made the mistake with 'Karma' once and immediately had a rash breakout! the only 'oily' type bubble bar i found is ma-bar, as the others all all a bit hit n miss. the only bath bomb id recommend is 'butterball' for obvious reasons. the rest are all smoke and mirrors!

Lush and eczema are two words that should never be used in proximity.

Every Lush product that I've ever been in contact with has caused a flare-up! :eek:

Thanks for your replies. I've heard Lush Dream Wash and Dream Cream are good but E45 cream does wonders for my skin, its just what to wash with, the E45 bath oil is good but doesn't make me feel clean, I sometimes use Original Source tea tree shower gel and that is good too but I went back to the oil when my neck broke out in flaky skin which is gone now.

In general what is the best thing to use? Are baby baths and shower creams OK? I am fine with using No7 cleansers on my face but I do have problems choosing what to wash with and sometimes hair care aswell for my sensitive scalp.

I use most lush products (depending on what gifts I've been given) I find the soaps fine but the bubble bars and bath bombs do cause a breakout if I use the whole thing so I break it up to last several baths instead. Stops the breakout but leaves a gorgeous smell and my skin soft and hydrated
