Emotions:

• Anxiety and stress are common triggers that cause eczema to flare up, which then creates more anxiety and stress, which then leads to more eczema flare-ups. 

Environmental:

• seasonal pollen, dust mites, pet dander from cats and dogs, mold and dandruff.

• The symptoms of atopic eczema often have certain triggers, such as soaps, detergents, stress and the weather. 

• Coconut oil. Studies show that applying coconut oil topically reduces the amount of staph bacteria on the skin, which reduces the chance of infection.

• Shea butter. Contains anti-inflammatory properties which help to keep skin from becoming easily irritated.

• Grape seed oil. Grapeseed oil's beauty benefits may be due to its vitamin E and omega-6 fatty acid content. Free radicals and environmental factors such as sun, wind, and pollution can do a number on your skin.
