Natural Eczema Treatments With Loma Lux Laboratories

 If you suffer from eczema finding relief from the dry itchy skin problems can be tough. Keep reading to discover a natural eczema treatment.


What is eczema?

 Eczema (eg-zuh-MUH) is an inflammatory skin condition that causes itchiness, dry skin, rashes, scaly patches, blisters, and skin infections. Itchy skin is the most common symptom of eczema. 

 Living with eczema can be frustrating and finding relief from an eczema flair-up can be even tougher, especially when the treatment does not work, or worse yet makes things worse. When your skin is inflamed and itchy, you want immediate relief. 

Discovering the cause of eczema

While there is no one “main” cause of eczema, things like food allergies, environmental things, and chemicals can trigger eczema in some people. 

 I have had eczema for as long as I can remember. When I was younger, the skin on my hands was so bad that it would crack and bleed. Visits to the doctor would result in new creams to put on my hands with the hope of my hands healing. The creams only made my skin worse and I spent my childhood hiding my hands in my pockets so no one would see them. 

 It was not until I moved out of my parent's home, that the eczema on my hands started to clear up and I realized something in the home was causing my skin problems. Years later, when my youngest child experienced the same eczema condition on his hands, I discovered that it was the common chemicals in skincare products that were one of the causes of his eczema. I remember rubbing baby lotion on his hands and my son would scream that the lotion was burning.

Through research, I discovered that the soap that my son was using was the cause of the eczema on his hands. My son was allergic to the chemicals that were in the soap. Those same chemicals were in the baby lotion that I was applying to his hands. Once I switched all my son's skincare products to natural ones and used unscented laundry detergent, my son's eczema went away.

Eczema triggers

So many things can cause or aggravate eczema and these can be referred to as eczema triggers. When trying to identify potential triggers, keep in mind that an eczema flare-up can appear sometime after exposure to a topical irritant or allergen. This lag time can make some triggers challenging to detect.

Common triggers can include:

+ Dry skin

+ Irritants: 

- Chemicals or fragrances in skincare products, cleaning products, and even eczema treatment products

- Natural items like citrus fruits or salt

- Laundry detergents

- Plants and weeds

- Pets

+ Stress

+ Food allergies

Discover a natural eczema treatment

 If one of your skin triggers for eczema is chemicals, using a topical over-the-counter eczema treatment could be a cause of your eczema not getting better. In fact, that cream that is labeled for eczema or dry skin may be making things worse.

 So reach for a topical spray that is safe and made with non-toxic ingredients. Eczemol™ OTC Topical Spray is a natural skin healing method that helps relieve eczema/atopic dermatitis as well as first/second-degree burns, skin irritation, cut/wound healing, sunburn, radiation dermatitis, skin itching, and skin inflammation.

Eczemol™ OTC Topical Spray is an FDA-approved all-natural spray that contains hypochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid or HOCl exists in the human body. Scientists have developed HOCl in the laboratory by using electrolysis to break down a simple saltwater solution. This spray is non-toxic, non-irritating, and won’t sting your skin.

Eczemol OTC has 4 modes of action to help repair skin:

+ Anti-Microbial – removes bacteria so your skin can heal

+ Anti-inflammatory – relieves redness/inflammation

+ Anti-Pruritic/Itching – starts to relieve itch within 24 hours of the first application

+ Vasodilator – increases oxygen/blood flow for faster healing

 I like that Eczemol is made with natural ingredients and can help to relieve the itch quickly. While my eczema, for the most part, is under control, there are times that it flares up. Things like pulling weeds and squeezing lemons could make my skin inflamed. Even a simple act of shaking someone's hand or using hand soap that is not made from natural ingredients could give me a painful rash on my skin. 

Spraying Eczemol OTC Topical Spray on my skin takes care of the itch quickly. The best part is this eczema spray does not sting or burn. This topical spray is great for those cracks that I get on my fingers in the winter and I have even been using the spray on my feet on my dried cracked heels.

You Take Vitamins For A Healthy Body, Why Not For Clear Skin?

Just like your daily vitamin, the Loma Lux Eczema Pill is taken orally to re-balance your body and clear skin internally - for healthy skin from within.

How it works

Eczema begins below the surface where topical products can’t penetrate. Topical eczema lotions and creams only serve as band-aids, which means that spot treatments are not effective in getting to the root cause of eczema, nor will they prevent future flares. People with eczema have a weak outer skin barrier, creating “holes” in the skin to leave it unprotected from moisture loss and irritants that cause itchiness. Loma Lux Eczema Pill has 7 Powerful Active Ingredients to help repair your skin’s moisture barrier from the inside out, preventing future flares from ever happening.

How To Keep Baby Skin Healthy And Soft


        I received samples from My Little North Star Organics to facilitate this post.

  I graduated to grandma last year and I am loving my new title. It was last August that I became a grandma and I am in love with this cute little girl. My grandbaby is the cutest and she is perfect from head to toe. She has perfectly soft baby skin and I know that my daughter is taking good care of her skin. My daughter uses skin care products that are made for baby's delicate skin which is good as this baby has sensitive skin just like her mom did as a baby. All my kids had eczema as babies and they all outgrew it except for my youngest son. My youngest son still has eczema but you would never know by looking at his skin as his skin shows nothing. This son who is now 11, has helped me discover the best products to keep his skin eczema free. So now I am passing on my experience of sensitive skin care to my daughter.


We’ve all said it at some point, “soft as a baby’s bottom” While babies may have perfectly soft skin, it is also extremely delicate and requires extra care.

 My boys are 11 and 12 so it has been a while since I have had to bathe a baby but I do remember how sensitive baby skin can be. Baby skin needs extra care and my daughter discovered that last month when she applied a lavender scented lotion on the baby's skin. The baby broke out in a rash. At first, my daughter thought that maybe the rash was caused by carrots. My daughter has many food allergies, including peanuts, so she is introducing new foods one at a time to my grandbaby. My daughter tried carrots again and the baby had no rash so that is when she discovered that it was the lavender baby lotion that caused the rash.



 Crafted specifically for babies, this product is made from only pure and organic ingredients to soothe babies with any type of sensitive skin or allergies.


  I am helping my daughter learn that chemical-free and non-toxic skin care products are best for her baby's soft skin. I am teaching my daughter to select products that use essential oils as fragrance. As that is what I have learned over the past couple of years with my son's sensitive skin. I love introducing my daughter to new baby products and ones that are organic are always my favorite. It makes perfect sense to me to use organic baby wash and lotion on baby skin. Skin is our largest organ and what we apply to it affects our whole body. Baby skin is thinner than adult skin so it is more susceptible to damage and irritation as it continues to develop during their first year of life. So avoiding harsh and toxic ingredients are even more important.

So, do organic products really make a difference in babies’ lives? Yes, they do. It’s not only what we put in our babies’ bodies, but also what we put ON their bodies… after all, skin is our largest organ.


 My son is enjoying My Little North Star Organics baby products and loves the way it smells. He likes the citrus scent and is happy that it does not have a typical baby powder scent like most baby products. We will be sharing this baby shampoo/body wash with the baby. My daughter will love that the baby shampoo is tear-free as we don't want that cute little baby to cry from soap in her eyes. Their products are made from only pure and organic ingredients so they are great for big kid sensitive skin and delicate baby skin. Their chemical free and non-toxic baby shampoo and body wash are made with lavender and orange essential oils to create a tranquil bath for everyone involved. I love that it is vegan and never tested on animals.

My Little North Star Organics is tear-free, hypoallergenic and contains no harsh chemicals making it perfect for babies/kids with sensitive skin, eczema or allergies.


Preventing Painful Eczema With Botanical Skin Care Products

This year will be the year that my son will not suffer from eczema!

        I received several Botanical Skin Care Products to facilitate this post.

  I remember having severe eczema as a kid so I feel for my son and buy products that will prevent flare-ups. My eczema was so bad as a kid that I kept my hands in my pockets all winter. My hands were a source of embarrassment for me as no one wanted to sit near me after they saw my dry cracked bleeding hands. I remember countless doctor trips and the doctor telling my mom to try another over the counter cream that was supposed to help my painful skin. The problem was that the ingredients in the so-called eczema creams were just making my skin worse as my skin was ultra sensitive. I hated having sensitive skin as a kid and it did not get better until I was an adult and I moved out of my parent's house. A doctor also prescribed a steroid cream that cleared my skin. I later learned that I was allergic to mold and had other chemical sensitivities.

My knowledge of eczema helps my son 

  So when my son did not outgrow his eczema as a baby, (all my kids had eczema as babies), I had plenty of experience to help him or so I thought so. My son's eczema got worse as he got older and most all lotions left him screaming in pain. So it was hard to treat his chapped hands in the winter when the lotions that were supposed to help burned his skin. So I eliminated all chemical bath products and bought my son products that had natural ingredients. I found that 100% shea butter was the only cream that did not irritate my son's skin. The only problem is it can be very greasy so my son forgets to use it until winter comes and his hands are red and sore. So this year I am trying Botanical Skin Care Products to see if we can prevent the painful chapped skin this winter.

 I am trying Botanical Skin Care Products

  My son's hands already feel like tough leather and have that dirty look to them. My son is a typical boy and gets dirty. He still needs to be reminded about hand washing too. He recently sprained a finger so he is not washing his hands as often as he should as taking off the finger brace is a pain for him. The weather is getting colder so I know that his hands will start to get very chapped and red. So I told my son that he needs to start applying the Calm Eczema Therapy Cream every night before bed. Maybe this will be the year his skin feels good.


Botanical ingredients do not burn the skin

  My son was hesitant to try the Eczema Therapy Cream as he is always afraid that they will hurt. So with a bit of coaxing, he allowed me to rub the cream on his dry skin. My son did not complain and the eczema cream made his hands feel softer. I loved that it was not greasy and was free of Sodium Lauryl Sulfates. My son has sensitivities to SLS, a common ingredient in toothpaste and other body care products. So I am an ingredient reader when it comes to his personal care products.


Safe for babies

  I believe that prevention is always the best when it comes to my son's eczema. We avoid the things that cause my son's skin to flare up rather than treating it with prescription creams. I know that salt, citrus fruits, and pineapple aggravate his skin along with most all chemicals so my son stays away from those things. I think that may be a reason he avoids washing his hands at school as their soap is chemical based. Doctors always ask me if my son has eczema, as it is in his medical chart, as they don't believe it by looking at his skin. I would rather pay more for natural skin care products that keep my son's sensitive skin eczema free than see him suffer from the painful skin.


Proven Botanicals for clear skin

 My teen son has been suffering from bad acne ever since he joined the Merchant Marine Academy. I think the change in climate and his diet may have something to do with it. My son has been trying different products from the store at the academy and none of them are helping to clear up his skin. My son even got a prescription from the doctor but the acne still remains on his face. When I see pictures of him, I just think of how painful his skin is. I sent my son probiotics to see if they could help his acne. but I am not sure if he remembers to take them every day. My son is even cutting back on milk to see if they will help clear his skin.

Will the Clear Acne Kit help my son?

  I like that the Clear Acne Kit has proven botanical ingredients in it that are clinically proven to clear the skin up. My teenager still needs convincing that chemicals may be aggravating his skin so when he comes home for fall break, I will have him try the Clear Acne Kit on his face to see if it can clear up all those blemishes on his face. Maybe him having the time away from all the busy stress of school for six days will also help his acne breakouts.


 I love the natural ingredients

  The natural botanicals in the acne face products sound so soothing to me. I love that they have no dyes or benzoyl peroxide in them. I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide and I think my son may have some sensitivities to it also as it leaves his skin way to dry. My teen son had an episode this past summer from red dye that left his skin in hives for two days. So I am excited to have him try these non-toxic skin care products. The box says that they work in 12 hours. If they work, the sizes are perfect for him to take back in his carry-on bag on the airplane.


Clear skin is always a good thing 

 My son has not had clear skin for quite some time so this mom will have him try the Clear Acne products as I want his skin to feel better. He will be able to focus on school better as he will be spending less time focusing on his zit filled face. These three products will be easy for him to use.
