Tips for dry skin
  • Wear sunscreen
  • Use a moisturiser on regular basis and make sure to reapply your moisturiser during the day.
  • Avoid soap – use only gentle, non drying cleansers ie milk cleansers
  • Avoid bathing or taking long hot showers
  • Avoid bath oils
  • Exfoliate skin with lactic acid creams and lotions on regular basis

Tip for nails
  • Keep them short, don't try to grow them
  • Massage lanolin into the cuticles to promote healthy nail growth
  • Use nail hardeners i.e. Revitanail
  • Wear gloves when doing house work and gardening
 
Tips for hygienic foundation application

  • Don't share your brushed, sponges with other people
  • Wash your sponges and brushes at least once a week with shampoo. Cleaning the brushes/sponges with shampoo will prevent them from going dry.
  • Always wash your hands before applying your foundation
Tips for eczema
  • Use only use soap and perfume free products
  • Moisturise the skin on regular basis
  • Avoid over heating the skin with hot showers, bath or even clothing
  • pat the skin dry dry rather than rubbing
  • Regular swims in sea water can help to reduce the symptom of eczema
For relief of eczema, Matty recommended a Hydraderm cream stirred into water and applied to the affected areas.  Hydraderm is available from many chemists at a cost of approx $10/litre.
