Since keeping your skin moist is one of the best ways to keep it healthy, prevent eczema, and even combat eczema, it’s important to know what types of skin moisturizers are most helpful. Here are some suggestions that could put you on the road to improved skin health.

• Balneum. Another helpful bath oil is Balneum, which contains soya oil, another type of oil that spread across the outer layer of skin, keeping the moisture locked in. Again, any type of moisture-enhancing bath oil should be combined with another moisturizing lotion.

• Diprobase. Diprobase contains a collection of paraffin, antibacterials, and cetostearyl alcohol, all of which keep the skin soft and moist. Because it tends to soften the skin, it gives the surface of the skin greater ability to absorb other medications used in the treatment of eczema.

• Epaderm. Epaderm is an oily, waxy substance gives additional flexibility and moisture-retaining quality to the skin. Since Epaderm contains no additives or coloring, it is safe to use by nearly anyone. It may also be mixed with bathwater to enhance moisturizing in the bath.

• Exederm. Exederm is a mild, gentle collection of skin cleansers and moisturizers. The gentle formula with no additives has given many people relief from acne.

• Oilatum. This brand of bath formula for both adults and children contains a form of liquid paraffin, oil which keeps moisture close to the skin. Regular use of this in conjunction with your bath or shower should be an improvement to skin moisture levels, but should also be used with another lotion or moisturizing cream.

• Sebexol. With a formula that corresponds to the precise pH balance of the skin, Sebexol works wonderfully as a moisturizer and damage-repair solution for the skin. In addition, it functions as an anti-bacterial, ant-fungal, protecting the skin from further infection.
