In addition to moisturizers, try to avoid soaps, even hand soaps. I use special products for washing my hands AND my body. These cleansing products work for me: Certaphil Flare Up Relief Body Wash, Baby Dove Dermacare Soothing Wash, Bath and Body Works Sensitive Body Wash w/Collodial Oatmeal.
My favorite hand creams are LaRoche-Posay Ciciplast Hand Cream and Gold Bond Eczema Relief Hand Cream with colloidal oatmeal
This is a list of my favorite body moisturizing products that I use on a rotating basis and on different parts of my body:
- CeraVe Healing Ointment (I use this above everything, note that this is the ointment, the Cerave product that comes in the dark blue container)
- Medical grade petroleum jelly
- Cortisone 10 Excema Cream
- Dove Baby Sensitive Skin Nighttime Lotion With Collodial Oatmeal
- Bath and Body Works Sensitive Skin Body Cream With Collodial Oatmeal
- Amazon Basics Eczema Soothing Moisturizing Cream
- Vanicream (this product is a bit sticky, I use this on my legs only)
- A&D medicated rash ointment w/eucalyptus (this product smells amazing and it contains vitamins A&D plus colloidal oatmeal and eucalyptus but if you are very sensitive or have allergies to fragrance you may not want to use this)
