Skincare Tips to Help Seborrheic Dermatitis Posted on 7 Jan 2015
Proper skincare plays a crucial role in managing Seborrheic Dermatitis. A well-adjusted routine can potentially lessen its severity and keep symptoms in check. Here are essential tips for effective care:
- Prioritize cleansing
Regular cleansing helps remove excess oil from the skin’s surface. - Select gentle products
Opt for skincare products that are mild and won’t dry out or irritate your skin. - Go for mild exfoliation
Use gentle exfoliating product specifically designed for sensitive skin. - Benefit from Salicylic Acid
As a chemical exfoliator, Salicylic acid (BHA) not only helps in shedding old skin cells critical for Seborrheic Dermatitis but also reduces redness due to its anti-inflammatory properties. - Consider shaving
Body hair, including facial hair like beards and moustaches, can exacerbate Seborrheic Dermatitis. Shaving these areas can improve the condition. - Choose breathable clothing
Wear cotton or breathable fabrics to prevent skin irritation. - Avoid alcohol-based products
Alcohol can dry out your skin and trigger increased oil production, worsening Seborrheic Dermatitis. - Explore Sebclair®
This non-steroidal product range is clinically proven to manage Seborrheic Dermatitis symptoms, offering anti-inflammatory and antifungal benefits. Sebclair® aims to alleviate itching, burning, and discomfort. - Take care of your hair
When using treatment shampoos, massage your scalp to remove scales and rinse thoroughly. Apply conditioner only to the hair, not the scalp, to prevent buildup.
