Eczema is a common skin condition that about 3 million people in Canada live with and suffer from. I have a few people very close to me who suffer from this condition and it can often be a challenge to keep it under control and prevent flare ups.
November is Eczema Awareness Month and to help raise awareness Aveeno Active Naturals has launched a twitter campaign #AskTheEczemaExperts to provide the opportunity to sufferers of this condition to learn tips on managing the condition from eczema experts Amanda Cresswell-Melville and Dr. Lyn Guenther.
The Eczema Society Seal of Acceptance was established by the Eczema Society of Canada as part of a patient empowerment program where moisturizers and cleansers are reviewed to earn recognition as an accepted choice for people with sensitive skin. AVEENO® is proud to carry this seal on a line of specially-formulated #AVEENOEczemaCare products.
Qualifications to earn it include:
- Being free of ingredients known to be irritating for sensitive skin; and
- Undergoing dermatologist formulation review.
Here are some useful tips for managing eczema:
