Understanding Eczema: Origins and Solutions
Eczema, also known as dermatitis, is among the most common skin conditions. Non-contagious, this disease affects both children and adults. The inflammation, redness and itching it causes can sometimes make life difficult. In this article, we will explore the causes of eczema as well as solutions to relieve its symptoms with our Helicotherapeutic treatments.
Eczema: causes, consequences and solutions
Causes of eczema
Eczema, a common skin disease, is characterized by symptoms such as redness, small blisters, peeling skin and itching. Two main forms of this condition are identified: contact eczema and atopic eczema. Typically seen in adults, contact eczema results from sensitization of the skin to common allergenic substances such as soaps, metals and detergents. Repeated contact with these allergens triggers an excessive and inappropriate immune response. Conversely, atopic eczema, a prevalent chronic form, is associated with a genetic predisposition to allergies. Often seen in young children, it tends to disappear naturally after a few years. Individuals with atopic eczema have skin that is extremely reactive to the environment, compromising the protective function of the epidermis and favoring the penetration of allergens, while leading to excessive water loss.
The consequences on the skin
Eczema, whether contact or atopic, causes the immune system to overreact, causing disturbing symptoms such as redness, dryness and itching. These manifestations can be exacerbated by external factors, including stress, leading to more frequent attacks. However, our solution offers effective relief through the use of snail slime, rich in Allantoin and Hemocyanin. These components promote healing and repair of tissues affected by eczema. The keratolytic effect of snail slime is based on the ability of its bioactive molecules to penetrate the epidermis, dissolve intercellular bonds and facilitate the elimination of dead cells. These actions trigger a series of reactions that stimulate skin regeneration, promote the production of new cells, and encourage the synthesis of collagen and elastin, helping to soothe the damaging effects of eczema on the skin.

Relieving eczema-related itching requires special attention during attacks. It is imperative to maintain appropriate hygiene, opting for lukewarm showers or baths daily in order to preserve the skin's hydrolipidic film. Favor the use of gentle, super-fat cleansers to avoid excessive drying. Immediate hydration also plays a crucial role in relieving symptoms. Our REPAIR range offers innovative formulas that include snail slime extract and a combination of carefully selected plant ingredients from organic farming. These products aim to soothe, relieve and repair tissues affected by eczema, providing effective relief during critical periods.

In conclusion, understanding the origins of eczema and adopting appropriate hygiene and hydration practices, combined with appropriate products, can significantly relieve the symptoms of this common skin condition. Awareness of specific triggers, regular hygiene and adequate hydration are essential measures to minimize skin reactions and improve the quality of life of those affected by eczema.
