Time to Bid Eczema Good Night

Don't let eczema get in the way of a good night's rest!

One of the biggest discomforts with eczema is when itching strikes at bedtime. Sleep disruption due to itching may snowball into a morning of physical and mental distress. In order to get a good night’s sleep, here are some practical tips.

1. HYDRATE

Take a nice cool bath an hour before bed. It not only cleans your body but also washes away the heat from your skin. It brings back vital moisture which your skin needs. Make sure to apply emollient after bathing to lock in skin’s moisture.

2. VENTILATE

Your sleeping environment should be planned, too. Heat leads to skin irritation. So keep to a cool bedroom temperature. Make sure air circulates properly. Avoid thick beddings and sheets and dress only in the most comfortable cotton night clothes.

3.  MOISTURIZE

Stick to a daily moisturizing routine. Apply your emollient 30 minutes before sleeping to help reduce night time itching.

"Noon, nakakaawa si Hanna when all the itching kept her up at night. But I’ve learned the best ways to give her the most comfortable sleeping environment. It helps to be always prepared with Elica, too. Kaya ayan –mahimbing na lagi ang tulog nya (Before, I would feel bad for Hanna when all the itching kept her up at night. But I’ve learned the best ways to give her the most comfortable sleeping environment. It helps to be always prepared with Elica, too. Now, she's able to sleep soundly)," Celebrity mom Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan shares.

ONE SOLUTION. ONCE A DAY.

Should flare-ups persist, it’s good to know there’s a medicine that you can count on. Elica is specially formulated to help relieve the symptoms of eczema. Applied once a day, Elica helps stop the
itching, take out the redness and ease the swelling to help bring back smooth, healthy skin.
