No more flares, ugly itchy bumpy skin. This was her treatment plan: (she said dry brushing should only be done 2x week or 3 if you think your skin really needs it. You run the risk of damaging the skin barrier.
The dermatologist said “NEVER USE HOT WATER”. Use warm to luke warm and try never to shower more than 10 minutes. Dry brush just before bathing. Her words were: get in the shower but don’t start the water yet. Dry brush while the skin is dry. Afterwards , turn on shower preferably warm (NOT HOT) and wash your skin with your HANDS ONLY using an antibacterial-antimicrobial skin cleansing solution. Her recommendations were: (1) Hibiclens Chlorhexidine Gluconate Solution 4.0% w/v Skin Cleanser which prevents skin infections which has antiseptic activity and persistent antimicrobial affect with rapid bactericidal activity against an extremely wide range of microorganisms. **ingrown hairs, stopped up hair follicles, clogged pores, cellulite, bumps, skin conditions as eczema, dermatitis, acne and more. (2) was Eucerin Advanced Cleansing Body & Face Cleanser (my favorite). These can also be used to cleanse wounds, cuts, surgical scrub or general personal hand cleansing. Always PAT DRY… never rub skin with towel. Immediately after showering use: 1) CeraVe Moisturizing Cream which has 3 essential ceramides to help protect and restore the protective skin barrier. 2) Eucerin Advanced Skin Repair Lotion, 3 Ceramides to strengthen skin barrier and provides immediate and 48 hour moisturizer and, 3) Cetaphil (my favorite). These are non-comedogenic and DO NOT CONTAIN: Fragrances, Perfumes, Parabens, dyes. Always beware of ingredient listings that contain Fragrances, Fragrance Carrier Perfumes….. as these contain PEG, polyethylene glycol which can be toxic if used a lot. It’s usually alcohol based which is not quite as bad. It is preferable to stay away from ALL PEG products and there’s just too many to count. It’s not always listed in ingredients label. In fact FDA and CDC is investigating the possibilities of cancer and many other diseases

What feels warm to your skin might feel too cold to another. Your skin is the same: it has an exfoliation tolerance similar to it’s sensitivity to water’s temperature. So which “temperature” or level of exfoliation is right for your skin? Answer: It VARIES. Think of these “Levels” as cold, lukewarm, warm, and hot, and, of course, choose accordingly. @wizkerskin
