Dry skin problem..........?

Can u please tell me some of the soap names that i should use for bathing?





I have a very dry skin. Currently i am using hamam soap. After bathing my skin develops white patches on the surface which does not go off even after washing with enough water.

Use a washcloth when bathing, rubbing the bar of soap directly onto your skin is never a good idea. Lather up a washcloth and wash with that. Liquid soaps are more drying than bar soaps, so stick with bar soap.





We love Dove soap. Dove soap is very mild, if you can find Dove Unscented for sensitive skin that's the best. You also have to wash your clothes in a detergent without added scent, you want unscented fabric softener as well.





You would benefit from an unscented lotion or cream from Eucerin or Lubriderm and you should use it after bathing.





Perfumes and dyes used in bath soaps, laundry detergents, fabric softeners and lotions are skin irritants so you want to avoid anything that has a perfume smell and/or artificial color added.





Hope this helps and your skin feels better soon!

I heard that Pears soap works well. Try soap that has moisturizer in it. That may help to prevent the white patches.
Reply:I would consult a dermotoligist and ask them for a professional opinion. I would suggest until you can get an appointment to try using oils, made to be used to bathe or use baby oil in the shower or bath. This will help a little hope.
Reply:pears


dove


nivea


baby sops





also use a good moisturiser after bath.or even applying coconut oil on wet skin would help





all this would help


all the best
Reply:Sounds like you've got eczema, or psoriasis? You may want to go see a dermatologist. But if it's not a medical issue... then I'd try using a mild soap like ivory, or dove. Try a body scrub and then right after you dry off, when the skin is slightly damp, slap on some really good lotion (kerrie,aveeno w/oatmeal, nivea, eucerine) and then get dressed. good luck
Reply:A liquid soap with moisturizor may help. Also do not over-bathe nor use very hot water both of which rob your skin of it's natural oils. Unless you get filthy, sweaty, a quick shower will suffice. After you towel dry and while your skin is still damp, apply a lotion or cream to the troubling areas.
Reply:u can use pears soap or medimix eladi oil soap
Reply:I've had terribly dry skin for years and periodic chronic eczema. I stopped using any kind of soap or skin wash about 3 years ago and it improved my skin no end. In the shower I just use shampoo, then just a sponge or something like that to wash my skin with, then when I'm out of the shower I put moisturizer on. No one actually needs to use soap or shower gel to be clean - All it really does is make you smell nice and a bit of deodorant will do that for you. Warm water and a sponge or cloth will get you perfectly clean.





If you have sensitive/dry skin, don't listen to any of those adverts that say their product helps and moisturizes. All soaps and shower gels will irritate and dry your skin to some degree unless they are medically approved, eg ones you get on prescription from your doctor or a dermatologist. Try cutting out soaps and gels for a couple of weeks and I bet you see some improvement (you'll still need it to wash your hands though)
Reply:If this is dry skin problem, use the following method:





1. Apply Coconut/Sunflower oil 10 minutes before evening bath. These contain a lot of essential fatty acids, that are good for health.





2. Take bath with Hamam/pears/Margo.......they are good for skin.





3. Use moisturizers before bed. Also after morhing bath.





4. Drink lot of water.





Wishing you a happy skin.
Reply:Is it just with bathing or are the white patches there all the time? It could be vitiligo, where you get patches of white skin. A dermatologist or your doctor can tell you for sure what it is. Otherwise, Cetaphil liquid cleanser is very very mild and should not hurt your skin.
Reply:Always massage your body with mustard oil or coconut oil before taking a bath. After every bath, apply some moisturizer on the affected portions and also massagae/apply vaseline lotion all over the body. You should improve your condition by atleast 50%.
