Eczema Care - Bath Additives

There are a wide range of products available that can be added to the bath. Instructions on the product packaging will indicate the required amount for the bath, but as a guideline, 15-30 ml should be added.

Some bath additives will disperse and cloud the water whilst others will settle on the top of the water or produce bubbles. Children especially like the latter.

Bath additives can also be used in the shower, although there are a selection of therapies available specifically for use in the shower.

Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Bath Therapy is a lightly foaming bath product specially formulated with natural oils to replenish the skin and help relieve the itching associated with dry skin conditions. The natural oils assist hydrate the skin and provide a protective layer, which prevents further moisture loss. Eucerin Bath therapy also contains Polidocanol, which is a substance clinically proven to soothe the skin and help relieve itching.

It is fragrance, colourant and soap free to minimise the risk of skin irritation, allergies and further drying of the skin. Eucerin Bath Therapy is suitable for cleansing all kinds of dry skin conditions, even for eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and ichthyosis.

What’s more, if Eucerin Bath Therapy is added to hot running water bubbles will form in the bath, making bath time more fun.
