Body wash for sensitive skin and eczema

sixtiesgal_2

I don't know what to use as a body wash for my skin. I have eczema, I was using tea tree shower gel for a while and it was fine but then my neck started breaking out so I've gone back to using the E45 bath oil that I always used before but I don't feel clean using it and it runs out quite quickly, I use it in the bath and as a shower gel. I've used aqueous cream before but found that too messy. I was wondering about Sanex or Aveeno, has anyone got any suggestions? The E45 oil does stop my skin breaking out but I use the cream anyway, would like something more economical for washing.

Something SLS free would be a start.Sulfates dry out the skin and often flare up eczema.I've just started using Naked from boots but not due to exczema.

Moomum

Another vote for the naked range, or horns and halos. Both at boots.

I use baby shampoo

SuperMat

Thanks for the great tips to keep skin beauty without eczema, but I want to know are these methods brings any harmful effects?

I'd go for the unscented stuff to begin with: http://www.handmadenaturals.co.uk/shop/shop.php?action=full&id=81

I've used dove shower products for years and then I use Vaseline dry skin lotion or similar . Not too expensive if you feel like trying them .

My adult son still has terrible eczema and find the Aveeno stuff very soothing.

I've been using Sanex for a while and would recommend it. I'm only ever going to buy that and aqueous cream now (agree with you that it's messy though, so I use it sparingly when my skin is extremely dry). Having said that, I've not had to use it since I started buying Sanex.

I have sensitive skin and have suffered with acne for years so I have to be careful what products I use.

I recently started using 10% Sulphur Soap I bought from amazon. It is a bit more expensive but seems to last a good while.

I have to say its by far the best product I have used. Leaves skin really soft, has cleared up alot of the redness and it is generally alot clearer. Have found that my skin is less dry now and don't need to use as much aveeno cream.

Quite a few good reviews of it on amazon and people saying it's been good for eczema and other skin conditions so it may be worth a try.
