Building healthy skin

Eczema: (from JAMA)
Summary:  many bugs live on our skin and some or the correct ratio of one kind to another are actually good for us. Scientist are studying changing the skin bacteria in people with eczema as a treatment of their condition with good results.

My Thoughts: I believe as the author suggests that soaps lotions, shampoos, conditioners all have some bad chemicals especially preservatives in them that change the correct beneficial bacteria ratios which then cause skin problems. My thought is stay away from these products. Try to buy natural products

What I do:
I look for products: without parabens; that have few ingredients: that when I read the the label I know what they are
I dont use body moisturizers
When I am done showering I apply food grade organic oils (coconut avocado...) to my body from the neck to the top of my feet (caution: careful not to step on oily products and fall, my shower has a rough surface floor so I havent slipped yet! If you have rosacea or any other skin issues talk to your dermatologist first your skin may not tolerate oils)
