I’ve frequently mentioned my issues with ezcema, and my biggest ally in my fight has been moisture. Moisture is difficult to add and then keep in skin, and I try to moisturize at least twice daily to keep my skin soft, rash and itch free.
One of my favorite moisturizers is this Lemon+Sage Body Butter. According to the Bliss Web Site:
Now almost famous, our fabulous, fresh-citrus scented dry body drenching moisture butter is so incredibly effective that a single squeeze can make rough and scaly skin ‘history’. With antioxidant vitamins A and E, sodium hyaluronate (a powerful oil-free moisture magnet) and arnica extract.
I’m not sure what all of this means, but I can definitely confirm that it can make rough and scaly skin history! It’s a good thing that this comes in a tube rather than a pump container, because this is an incredibly thick cream. It’s silky smooth, and the lemon and sage scent has an amazing citrus note that I can’t even begin to describe. It’s light and not overpowering, yet can’t be missed. Once applied the formula feels as though it is immediately sinking in, my dry skin is soothed and super moisturized for hours. When I am itchy and nothing is working, this is the product I reach for time after time.
I’m a doctor, a mommy and a bit of a beauty addict. If you let me, I can take 2 hours to get ready in the morning. Really. I'm on a quest for faster beauty that works!

Hi Doctor! Any suggestions for eczema on and around the lip area? I would get flare ups on the skin here and there but very rarely. But since I’ve gotten pregnant my lips have gotten it! Specifically in the corners of the mouth. It’s so strange. I’m constantly putting something on my lips but it doesn’t help and I am always flaking.
That isn’t eczema, it’s perioral dermatitis and you need a prescription topical antibiotic for it. Do NOT put any topical steroids on it, it will make it worse! Head to your doctor.
