A good night’s sleep works wonders.
When you don’t get enough sleep, you end up very grumpy and your body releases cortisol.
This increases dryness of the skin and inflammation. This is a common problem for children with excema.
It creates a vicious circle, where the dryness of their delicate skin causes irritation and stops them going to sleep, which in turn makes the dryness worse.
A skin balm rich in essential oils will go a long way to reducing the dryness, the irritation and consequently aid the child in getting peaceful sleep.
