Best care for dry, irritated skin
Dryness, tightness, redness, itching. If your skin struggles with these issues on a daily basis, you may have “atopic” skin.
Atopic skin has similar characteristics to sensitive skin, but atopic skin needs to be gentler and use anti-itch products that contain effective ingredients.
If you have atopic skin, follow some of Absolution’s tips and learn how to best care for it. Characteristics of atopic skin.
Your skin is the first line of defense against environmental aggressors such as cold, UV rays, bacteria and urban pollution. This means your skin has a lot to deal with! But sometimes it’s all too much and it seems impossible
to feel comfortable in your skin or look beautiful.
If you have atopic skin (where your skin easily reacts to the smallest things), it means your skin doesn’t act as an effective protective barrier. This makes it more sensitive to environmental influences
triggering an immediate sensation of redness, tightness and discomfort, as well as a tingling sensation, often accompanied by a strong urge to scratch. However, if you give in and scratch, your skin will feel more uncomfortable
and may leave painful lesions.
Atopic skin has an imbalance in its hydrolipidic film – similar to sensitive skin. Either water or oil is lacking, sometimes both.
To care for and soothe your skin, it’s important to take preventive measures immediately at the first sign of discomfort. Trust nature and use Absolution’s certified organic skin care products for a targeted beauty routine
that’s gentle on atopic skin.

Also known as blue chamomile, this ingredient has appeared in botanical pharmacopeias for centuries and is recommended for alleviating allergic reactions. When the leaves of blue tansy are distilled a blue essential oil is
produced. This oil is rich in Chamazulene, a compound known for its calming and calming properties, which can provide immediate relief to atopic skin affected by the sun or cold.

sensitive and irritated skin and prevents redness.

that are free of controversial ingredients like sulfates parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, GMOs, and synthetic fragrances or dyes. Le Lavant Corps Doux gently cleanses your body, while our organic body lotion, Le Lait Peau Douce,
leaves your skin feeling soft. Remember to moisturize your skin from within. Drink plenty of water or herbal tea made with soothing plants that are good for your skin, such as burdock or wild pansy. Watch your diet and try to eat
anti-inflammatory foods. Avoid fried or processed foods and refined sugars. Look for foods that contain essential fatty acids like omega-3, which are found in “oily” fish like salmon, sardines and mackerel. Last but not least,
make sure you get enough sleep. When you sleep, your body repairs itself and cell renewal is most active. This process is important for relieving itching and improving atopic skin conditions. Your skin should feel good. With
proper care, this is possible.
