If you’ve been around the blog for awhile then you know that I have eczema. Dealing with Eczema can be difficult, however, I’ve found a few ways that not only help my eczema but help me in dealing with eczema quickly so I can get on with my daily life.
Dealing with Eczema
One of the things that I found that helps in dealing with eczema is to exfoliate. Exfoliating helps to remove the dead skin which allows the newer and healthier skin to emerge. I have found that if I exfoliate a couple of times a week with an exfoliating brush and scrub that my eczema patches tend to be less noticeable!
I personally like to get a new exfoliating brush at least once a month for a couple of reasons. First because with all of that dead skin it’s going to get a little impossible to completely sanitize it after to many uses. Second because I find that after to many uses the bristles tend to get a little dull which makes the brush less effective. My favorite brush lately has been this one that has a detachable face exfoliator on the back. I like to use this on days that I don’t want to use my facial cleansing system.
After I exfoliate I like to go in with a moisturizing body wash and then rinse off before getting out of the shower. Once out of the shower I like to let my skin dry, apply a lotion, and then get dressed. However, I started to realize that part of the way through the day my skin would start to feel parched no matter what lotion I used! I started looking into ways to help the lotion sink in and I came across the suggestion of “wet skin moisturizers” and I thought “What the heck is that?!” I found that applying lotion while the skin is wet actually helps the lotion to lock into the skin better as the cells are still open from the water. I should have known that from Cosmetology School (facepalm)! I looked into different wet skin moisturizers and found that the Jergens® Wet Skin™ Moisturizer with Argan Oil 10 oz not only moisturizes the skin but also is supposed to help heal dry skin so I had to jump on that to try!
While I was in the Aiken, SC Walmart I actually decided to pick up two of the Jergen Wet Skin Moisturizers, the Restoring Argan Oil and the Cherry Almond Essence, due to the fact that the Cherry Almond Essence is a Walmart ONLY scent. I’ve used both since having them and I love them for different things.
I find that the Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer with Cherry Almond Essence is good on days that I need a lighter moisturizer, the day after my exfoliating usually, and the Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer with Restoring Argan Oil leaves my skin feeling so soft, smooth, and moisturized when I use it on the days that I exfoliate and the days right before as well.
Changing up my eczema routine to include a wet skin moisturizer has actually really helped me in dealing with eczema. I don’t have to wait to dry off before applying lotion which means the the moisturizer soaks in better leaving my skin super moisturized ALL day and not parched half-way through. I also love that the scent stays with me all day!

Eczema is never easy to deal with especially for the kids. I think it’s awesome that you found products that work so well for you! I’ve always liked Jergens as a brand.
I’ve never used a wet moisturizer before. That sounds very interesting and it would be noce to give it a try. I like that it’s very reliable especially for yoir eczema.
Me and my family have never had excema, so we haven’t had to deal with it. Its great to see more products out for people who do have it.
I have heard amazing things about that Wet Skin. I need to get some for my husband because he has such dry skin so I really think this would help him out!
Eczema can be so awful! My brother suffered from it quite badly as a child and I always felt so sorry for him. Good to know there are great products to assist in managing it!
My daughter has had bad eczema her entire life. I will suggest this article to her and maybe she will give your suggestions a try .
Eczema is the worst! It makes me skin feel so yucky. Good skin care products is important.
My son has eczema and it always flares up in the summer. I’ve tried so many things and none seem to work. I need to try this for sure!
Eczema is tough! And it’s good to find relief in products like this wet moisturizer. It’s definitely going to be easier to deal with.
My niece has eczema and it triggers every now and then. I’ll inform my sister-in-law about this product, I’m sure they’ll like it. Hope it’s available here in our country
I know dealing with eczema can be a huge challenge for many people. It’s great to see that there are OTC options to help keep your skin hydrated and exfoliated.
I am very lucky that I’ve never suffered with eczema, but my mum has so thanks for sharing these tips and items x
I had eczema when I was young but luckily don’t have it anymore. I do however have a few scars from it and I believe that exfoliation would have helped prevent that x
I need to get this! I don’t have eczema, but I have very dry skin, so this would be perfect! Thanks!
I really love the wet skin moisturizer. It looks me a little bit to get used to not drying/patting right in the shower, but it works so well!
My daughter has eczema it can be so difficult to deal with. I will have to try the Jergens and the tips you gave for her.
I love these new Jergen’s Wet Skin products! They make my skin so moist and smooth. I have bought quite a few bottles of it and I intend to keep on using it.
Eczema can be a nightmare, I had it as a child but luckily I grew out of it. But moisturizing definitely helps those I know who still have it!
I definitely agree with exfoliation! It helps so much to get rid of the dead skin before applying any type of moisturizer. I am definitely going to try this!
My friend deals with Eczema. I know it can be difficult to treat. I will have to let her know about the Jergens products you suggested!
Oh eczema is such a pain! My oldest has had eczema for a while but not as much as it used to be. The only thing that ever helped him was a bannanna sugar scrub with jojo oil.
A banana sugar scrub sounds amazing. Was this homemade or was it a brand?
Hey it was an online mom and pop shop that isn’t open any more. I remember it had jojoba oil and always wondered if that’s what the magical elixir part of it was. 🙂
Jojoba is amazing for the skin, especially dry skin, so it probably was. I’m going to either have to look for a different Lemon Sugar Scrub because that sounds amazing or make one of my own…
I’m glad you love this product for your eczema. I need to try it to keep my skin silky smooth!
I used to have pretty bad eczema, my dad had it and I got it from him I guess. My worst spots were my knees, and hairline. Even into my scalp. What helped me was going vegetarian and then vegan 4 years ago. I haven’t had ONE SINGLE FLARE up since going vegan! Cut the dairy!
We’re actually thinking about going Vegan over the next few months. I’ll have to see if that helps!
I’ve never had to deal with eczema but I can imagine it is very uncomfortable. This looks like a great over the counter remedy to help.
Wow, I suffer from eczema and I would have never thought to use this product for it. What a great idea! I’m super excited to try this now.
I don’t have eczema, but I know someone that has it. They’d probably appreciate to know this remedy, especially since it seems like they’ve practically tried everything!
Okay I would definitely try this for my son! We’ve tried so many different creams and lotions, but haven’t found the perfect one yet. I can’t wait to pick this up!
I’ve never heard of Jergen’s before, but these wet skin moisturizers sound fab! I’m super lazy when it comes to moisturizing, so anything that makes it quick and easy is a winner for me 🙂

I didn’t know that Jergens had a product for this. My kids both have eczema and this is something we have struggled this.
I have problem skin and mostly with ezcema! I haven’t tried this before but I definitely need to now!
