Skin rashes occur when the skin is dry. Atopic dermatitis patients get across skin rashes frequently due to their dehydrated skin. Moisturizers are the best solution for managing these kinds of challenges. As you know, moisturizing the skin is a fundamental act in daily skin-care routines without the dependency of skin type. It is an important component to sustain daily. However, the type of moisturizer can depend on the skin type of the patient.^1,2

People with normal skin with the tendency to oily skin, people with mixed skin, and people with oily skin can prefer moisturizers which pledge the matte finish and a sense of lightweight hydration after applying to the skin especially water-based moisturizers can be selected with that kind of need. In addition, the frequency of application can differ due to the skin type. For instance, people with sensitive skin can hardly tolerate the substance so once daily application can be chosen. However, people with dry skin should choose creams aiming ultra-moisturizing effect.³

Hyaluronic acid, in that case, is frequently recommended, and hydrolysed hyaluronic acid can be used with hyaluronic acid simultaneously in moisturizer cream. 2-3 times per application of moisturizer cream onto the skin is recommended daily. Apart from moisturizing creams, products such as tonics, serums, hydration masks etc. with the same goal of maintaining a healthy, gleamed, hydrated and nourished skin can also be used to boost the effect and reinforce the act of moisturizing. The skin's outermost layer can be moisturized and protected by a cream hopefully without feeling oily.^4,5

The Intensive moisturizing effect is the target on those products. Especially dry to atopy-prone skin and people who have experienced with atopic dermatitis as known as eczema can be potential customers for that product.⁶

Physical sunscreens containing Titanium dioxide can be eliminated as a personal choice as Professor Robert Schiestl says that when titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles travel through the body, the oxidative stress caused by the same free radicals causes cell death and, with its progression, cancer, and genetically damages human DNA. Ayurvedic Zinc is good for eczema, acne and blisters, hence can be sought  more traditionally.²²
