Use This Daily Regime To Cleanse, Calm & Protect Your Skin Before Going to Bed

Use this daily regime to help ease into the night. It’s really simple and very practical.

What You'll Need To Prepare: 

  • Gentle moisturizing cream
  • Natural personal care bath products (bath gel, shampoo, face wash)
  • 100% Cotton Garment and Bedding
  • Evening Herbal Tea

Have a lukewarm shower before going to sleep

- A Luke warm shower is important for keeping the skin hydrated and preventing infections during sleep. Taking a shower at night also helps to reduce stress. As the skin is quite delicate, gently pat dry will do. Avoid rubbing the skin. This step will help you cleanse and calm the skin preparing you for a good night's rest.

Moisturize Your Skin after shower and right before sleep

- Moisturizing your skin with eczema balm or cream right after a shower is especially important as it helps to lock in moisture. What it actually does is to prevent your skin from drying out, while also providing hydration for a period of time. 

Founder's Story - How An Eczema Balm Saved My Life

Years of relying on steroid creams had left me with worsening eczema. I had scars and thickening patches of skin. I desperately needed a moisturizer that keeps my skin hydrated, and also possess skin healing qualities. I could not find such a moisturizer out in the stores! So, I decided to make one of my own. After countless DIYs and research on botanical herbs, I found a really effective eczema balm formula that not only instantly relieves itch. It also soothes and helps my skin heal much faster. I have lived with this home-remedy for over a decade - sharing it with friends and family. Now, areas where my skin used to be thick and leathery have softened. Cuts and abrasions healed faster and today my skin have very little marks left.

Wear loose cotton clothing and use cotton bedding

- Many people with eczema find cotton clothing and bedding preferable, as it is more comfortable than wool or synthetic fibres. Cotton is smooth and it allows the skin to breathe and prevent overheating. 100% cotton is preferable by most people. However, there are some who can tolerate with a mix of cotton and another material. Cotton garments may be dyed with a coloring agent and it may contain loose dyes that may be the potential irritants. Always pre-wash newly bought clothing and bedlinen.

Drink a glass of Herbal Tea before sleep

- Detoxification – something that have been practiced for centuries by the culture around the world, including Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is believed that eczema is related to toxins accumulated in the internal system. Detoxification helps to purify and lighten the internal system creating a more balanced environment for the body to repair itself. A healthy internal system reflects healthy skin.

There are many ways of detoxing the body. We prefer using organic herbs that are gentle and mild for cleansing yet effective.

Among the most effective herbs we have found are Burdock Root, Dandelion Root, Ginger Root, Peppermint, Licorice Root, Yellow Dock, Nettle Leaf, Chickweed, Elder Flowers, Bupleurum, Oatstraw, Chamomile Flowers, Red Clover and White Peony.

Founder's Story - Our Precious Organic Detox Tea

We've created a home-made blend of liver-and-blood-supporting herbs that we have been using for years. Drinking this tea in evenings have really helped to provide long-term solution against eczema itch.

Hear from Our Happy Customers

"No more embarrassing red and flaky skin on my face when I greet guests at my son's wedding."

I have very thin layer of skin due to prolonged use of steroid cream, and it bleeds easily. I noticed that this balm is able to provide a shield and protect my skin, as a result I have less bleeding and experience less pain. My skin is also less flaky and softer now. It also helps to relief itch. I have chronic eczema and if it works for me, I believe it will work for a lot of people who suffer from the same condition as me.

"Soothing Body Balm helps with my eczema and my dry hands"

Soothing Body Balm helps with my eczema and my dry hands by moisturizing and softening thickened skin. I would recommend this to others.

SNOW // Mom

"I highly recommend all who have eczema skin to at least give this Balm a try. It might just work where others have failed."

My daughter has mild eczema since young & would scratch her skin whenever it gets too hot or humid. Physiogel has always helped. In the past 2 yrs or so, some itchy patches appeared on both her foot. She would scratch till the skin tore & bleed. We tried Silver solution which helped only for a while. We applied Soothing Body Balm on my daughter's foot everyday after bath & actually saw improvements. After 2 weeks, parts of those itchy patches started healing. Now the patches on both her feet are almost gone.
