*Salcura DermaSpray (£16.99, 100ml): I have eczema mainly around my eyes and my cheeks but I do also get it sometimes on my ears and hairline as well as the large patch on my left hand. The eczema on my face can be awful at times and obviously I can't hide it which can be quite depressing but the eczema on my hand can be equally as bad especially as I wash my hands more than my face. I've tried numerous prescribed and generic eczema creams for my hand and a couple have worked well although some just irritate my skin.
This lotion is in a spray bottle so it would be perfect if you had larger areas of eczema on your body however the spray isn't as useful for me as I just have it on my hand. However the spray lotion is very light weight so much so that it is almost like water on the skin, it doesn't irritate my eczema and it relives the look and feel of very dry and tight skin. It absorbs very quickly so it would be perfect for those with larger areas of body eczema. Additionally, 98% of the ingredients are of natural origin which is fantastic and the products are free from parabens, SLS, artificial fragrance, lanolin and more. It must be so popular as one is sold every five minutes in the UK! Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
*Salcura Zeoderm Repair Moisturiser (£9.99, 50ml): I also received this moisturiser that is suitable for the face and body. The moisturiser is suitable for severe cases of eczema and other dry skin conditions. The cream is an unappealing colour and both products do smell medicinal to me which may put some people off but I have been using this moisturiser on my hands and on my face and it has been helping so much with reducing the feeling of tight and extremely uncomfortable skin due to dryness; it also helps relieve the look of dryness and flakiness.
I will definitely get so much use out of the moisturiser and I have been recently as my eczema has been flaring up (due to stress/anxiety and weather changes I think) and I've been using a small amount on my face after my facial oil. When used in conjunction with my other products, my eczema is slowly fading! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
Now onto the giveaway, the lovely people at Salcura are giving my readers the chance to win a fantastic winter skin therapy pack which would be perfect if you have dry skin, eczema or another dry skin condition.

I used to have very bad eczema on my face. My mother told me it used to fall off in patches. I do get a hit of it during the winter time, but my skin has improved drastically.

have not tried it yet but would love to
ReplyDeleteI have not tried Salcura before. Tip even it means setting a reminder moisturise every day. In my case several times a day.
ReplyDeleteI have Psoriasis. I haven't tried this yet but I've tried lots of things.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried anything from this brand. I have super sensitive skin, flairs up with so many products, have to just be very careful, especially of alcohol or fragrance. My best tip for winter is to stay hydrated from the inside, by drinking enough water. x
ReplyDeleteI'll need to check these out, looks like you've found a hidden gem! Fab post :) x

Luckily I've never had eczema before. These products sound good ans I will definitely recommend it to my friend who has eczema. x

I use e45 cream. These products look great x
ReplyDeleteHave you tried La Roche-Posay's Lipikar Baume AP? I suffer with eczema on the back of my shoulders and at times last winter it was irritating me so much I just wanted to claw my skin off. I had a sample of this and when I tried it my eczema cleared up pretty much over night, I couldn't believe it x
ReplyDeleteBecky @ The Little Blog of Beauty
Yes I do - i use dibrobase alot or e45
ReplyDeleteAShleigh
I tend to use E45 but this sounds much lighter and I'd love to give it a try
ReplyDeleteoh yes please page and post liked and shared x
ReplyDeleteI use AVEENO or Hemp cream
ReplyDeleteI do on the crook of my right elbow! I use hydrocortisone and dibrobase but it just flairs up in the winter or if I'm 'stressed'! So funny, but so annoying as it looks so angry sometimes x
ReplyDeleteSadly yes, I do suffer with eczema. I use E45 Cream to heal treat & ease my dry itchy skin. I've never tried anything from Salcura so far, but I would love to! Keep your skin moisturised during the Winter especially. I find that coconut oil and cocoa butter work really well.
ReplyDeleteFortunately I don't suffer from eczema, but I do have extremely sensitive and dry skin, which is acne prone. I tend to just stick with Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser (*gasp* I know there's a lot of controversy) and Nivea Day cream for dry and sensitive skin. And at night I tend to use coconut oil as I find it does a great job at rally hydrating the skin without causing any irritation. Some days I may feel fancy and use a scrub (St. Ive Oatmeal Scrub). Since my skin is so sensitive I have to be careful with the choice of products I use.
ReplyDeleteKeep drinking a lot of water and don't have very hot showers even though it's tempting too! Hot showers and baths are actually bad for your skin and make it even drier.
ReplyDeleteI suffer mildly, mostly get issues with my hands especially in winter I do tend to shower when problems are bad and use creams without added ingredients xx
ReplyDeleteI don't have eczema, but I have an uncommon type of psoriasis called guttate psoriasis. I can't use the normal steroid creams on it so have to rely on heavy duty moisturisers. I usually use diprobase as it's the best thing I've found so far for it
ReplyDeletemy daughter does and we use a big pot of E45 creme and paster it on her
ReplyDeletemy husband suffers from eczema x
ReplyDeleteI have very dry skin and get rashes which I think might be Eczema, I am allergic to Aloe Vera which discounts a lot of lotions and creams for me
ReplyDeleteYes I do and I use the spray and recovery cream from Salcura all the time, it is supposed to be for children, but really works on me.
ReplyDeleteI used to have Psoriasis - fortunately it rarely crops up
ReplyDeleteDo you suffer with eczema? Unfortunately i suffer from a lot of eczema :-(
ReplyDeleteIf so what products do you use? I use E45 Cream
Have you tried anything from Salcura? Not yet, but i would love to. x
Do you have any winter skincare tips or product recommendations? Always carry lip balm for chapped lips and i always have a pack of tissues in your handbag :-)
nice giveaway - thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI have eczema, and I tend to use E45 for moisture and bathing, but still have to use steroid cream from the doctor.
ReplyDeleteI have mild eczema & very dry skin so I use Aveeno lotion & occasionally a mild steroid cream. I haven't tried Salcura products before
ReplyDeleteKelly Ellen Hirst
My winter tip is stay warm - I am not sure if it is just me but when it gets colder may skin gets flakier
ReplyDeleteYes since childhood never tried this brand before!
ReplyDeleteI do suffer from it, but never heard of yourself before now
ReplyDeleteNo haven'et tried this yet x
ReplyDeleteI get occasional ecsema but haven't really tried anything for it x
