Damaged Skin: Causes and Solutions
If you need the best eczema treatment available, you've come to the right place. Dermatitis, psoriasis and other forms of skin conditions affect over 100 million Americans. Skin cancer is now one of the leading cause of death in women. It can affect women, men, teens, children and babies. Why the dramatic rise in skin disease? The environment? Genetics? Global warming...?
Well, the real reason might surprise you.
The Health and Beauty industry generates billions of dollars a year. Go into any department store and you'll see hundreds of day creams, night creams, serums, scrubs, brushes, etc. People want to look their best, and these companies know it! Stores like Walgreens, CVS and Walmart all compete to have the lowest price to earn their business-- which forces cometic companies to in turn get more competitive. So what do they do?
Simply put, chemicals are cheap.
A very high percentage of cosmetic ingredients are proven to cause the same skin conditions they claim to cure! One leading dermatologist prescribed lotion includes a byproduct of gasoline production, a main ingredient in antifreeze and multiple alcohols. Some people spend tens of thousands of dollars trying to treat their cracked, inflamed and unsightly skin. But do they really have to?
Isn't it odd that over the centuries you never heard about these disorders, but hear of the great beauty of people throughout history? What was their secret? Nature! They turned to natural skin care solutions because they didn't have a choice.
Now, in the chemical age, people want results and they want the fast. Consumers expect wrinkles and fine lines to diminish in days. They want the itch to stop immediately. They take pills to treat their acne and breakouts.
So why not look for a natural eczema and psoriasis remedy rather than pumping your body with more chemicals? Mother Nature provides so many solutions to treat your face, hands, body and hair so you can look and feel your best. Natural and organic products might not work as fast as steroid creams such as Cortisone or Vanicream, but they WORK. Plus, they don't have the horrible side effects these cheaper treatments cause (that your doctor often doesn't mention).
Common skin conditions include:
Eczema
Psoriasis
Shingles
Premature Aging
Acne/Blemishes
Dermatitis (Atopic, Seborrheic, etc.)
Cracked Skin
Hives
Rashes
Cancer
and plenty more...
It can be tough dealing with them. People's first impression of you is your complexion. It's not shallow, it's true. Before a word is spoken they notice your skin. So when you have swelling, redness, inflammation, etc. it can affect your confidence. Anyone who would judge you because of acne or body conditions you can't control isn't worth caring about. But it still affects you. People resort to not going out, wearing gloves to cover cracked hands, sweaters in summer to hide the scales on their arms or avoid the beach.
On top of the pain, itch and discomfort you shouldn't have to worry about where you go, what type of fun you have. Some eczema and psoriasis sufferers avoid pools, can't swim in the ocean, have to wear extra sunblock, can't play contact sports, etc.
Start by educating yourself on what to use, what to avoid, foods to avoid, superfoods to boost your health, etc. It may begin with throwing out your convenience store shampoo, avoid Dove and Irish Spring soaps, say goodbye to your miracle anti-aging serum and skip the cosmetic isle at your grocery store.

Natural products tend to be more expensive, especially USAD Certified Organic lotions, soaps, etc. But it is cheaper than a trip to the physician, and certainly cheaper than going to the hospital for cancer treatments. Arm yourself with a basic understanding of the largest organ in your body, but one of the most neglected-- your skin!
