Minor I know but one effect of the lockdown for me is I've been unable to get all my usual products that I know my skin is ok with and my eczema has gone nuts!
Been using zerobase which helps a little but still experiencing a lot of itching, badly dry flaking skin which is proving hard to resist peeling, which leads to burning soreness worse at night so it's been affecting my sleep
Spoke to dr and I now have as well as the zerobase antihistamine tablets and corticosteroid ointment
I'm thinking best to use these before settling for the night?
Would appreciate knowing from others if that's a good idea. Also the zerobase comes in large pump bottles, I hate waste and feel sure there's more available in the bottles than when they're seemingly empty? But they're pretty solid containers so I can't figure out how to open, wondered if there was a trick?
Also any other tips for soothing my skin would be very very gratefully received
Even if you're simply experiencing similar would be comforting to know I'm not alone.
I know in the grand scheme this is as I said a minor thing but it's driving me nuts!
Also hay fever has kicked in last few days so I'm hoping for happy coincidence that the antihistamine will help that too
