Aqueous Creams Make Eczema Worse

Although aqueous cream has been prescribed for millions of sufferers from childhood, it is the first time research has been carried out on an ingredient called sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS).

Previously it was thought the ‘stinging’ sensation affecting half of users was due to a preservative or antiseptic in the cream. In a study by Bath University researchers, aqueous cream reduced the thickness of healthy skin in volunteers by more than 10 per cent in just four weeks and water loss was increased.

Professor Richard Guy, professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Bath, said the remedy was likely to aggravate the dry, itchy rashes that plague eczema sufferers. He said: ‘The skin has a protective barrier layer of lipids, around one eighth the thickness of a sheet of paper, that stops chemicals from getting into the body and keeps moisture in.

‘SLS is a detergent used to mix oils into water-based moisturisation creams to give a nice creamy texture. It’s also used widely in shower gels and other cosmetics. 'Our study has found that rubbing aqueous cream containing SLS into the skin thins this protective barrier, making the skin more susceptible to irritation by chemicals. So to use this cream on eczemous skin, which is already thin and vulnerable to irritation, is likely to make the condition even worse.’ The study was published in the British Journal of Dermatology.

Aqueous cream is the most widely prescribed moisturiser for dry skin conditions. It costs the NHS £1.86 for a 500g tub and is also available from pharmacies. The principal ingredients are liquid paraffin, white soft paraffin and purified water.

Margaret Cox, of the National Eczema Society, said the charity did not recommend aqueous cream as a moisturiser. Almost four million Britons have eczema, which is mainly treated with steroid creams. Many eczema sufferers give up using aqueous cream because they find it so irritating - a study in children showed 56 per cent experienced a 'stinging' sensation when they used it.

Children said it caused more discomfort than any other product - and the latest research suggests SLS is the reason why.

Winter Skin Care

Keep skin and hair in tip top condition

As the recent weather forecasts have demonstrated, Winter is now well and truly upon us. But as the wind tangles our hair, the central heating dries out our skin and we lose the number of hours of sunlight, it’s important that we give ourselves a little pampering to keep fresh and glowing over the coming months.

Here are a few top tips to keep skin, hair and nails in peak form during the winter months.

Skin tends to get drier in the cold weather, and as a result of central heating. Make sure that you rehydrate the skin by drinking plenty of fluids and use an organic face serum, to give skin a boost and soften lines and wrinkles.

Keep skin nourished by using a mask after exfoliation once a week and to help close the pores.

Remember that sun protection is still important for the face, even in winter, so keep it simple by using a daily moisturiser with built in sun protection factor.

Nails can suffer in colder weather, so use a rich hand moisturiser every day and cuticle oil once or twice a week.

In windy weather, be sure to use a hair mask or conditioner to help nourish the ends of the hair as these will get dry and split.

Lastly, use a good lip balm to soften and protect the lips from cold weather, wind and the drying effects of central heating.
