Just as someone would exercise and eat well to tone the body and keep the heart in good shape, similar effort is required to encourage healthy skin.  


Common guidelines to consider:

• When washing, use gentle cleansers and soaps that do not have color, scents/fragrances/perfumes, or other additives.  

• When moisturizing, use gentle creams or ointments that do not have color, scents/fragrances, or other additives. 
• Moisturize the whole affected area and let the moisturizer sit for 20-30 minutes to settle in
• If you have itchy hands/irritation, it will sometimes help to use plastic/rubber gloves that you are not allergic to.  Gloves used on a regular basis can improve problems with contact irritation.  If you need to use gloves for a long period of time, it is best to wear thin cotton gloves under the rubber gloves

• Follow sun protection precautions.  Sunburns will result in both short term and long term risks of skin damage and skin cancer.
