Wear Natural Fibers

Synthetic fibers can increase any condition of dermatitis. It is always better to wear soft natural fiber like cotton. These fibers allow the skin to breathe freely through them and that prevents build up of sweat. More than that, they do not irritate the skin which worsens any case of dermatitis.

 Regular Bathing

This is something that needs to be done regularly. A good bath can wash away the dead skin flakes as well as hydrate the skin. However, take care not to overdo it as long time under shower can wash off the natural oil that you body secretes and actually turn the skin rough. Then you may again get that itchy feeling and fail to get the benefit of bathing that you actually deserve.  Gentle warm water can be used for bathing.

 Use of Organic Beauty Products

There are certain ingredients in the beauty products, especially in those products like shampoos, soaps and hand-washes, etc. which contain harsh chemicals that can cause irritation on the skin and ultimately lead to dermatitis.

So stick to organic products only and that means 100% organic. Also if you have dermatitis, changing from artificial to natural ingredients can actually improve the condition. Ingredients like aloe vera, tea tree oil, primrose oil, cocoa butter, etc. can actually improve the condition.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is often used in shampoos as it is a very good remedy for dandruff. However, there are many products like face wash, creams, etc, which use tea tree oil and these can improve any condition of dermatitis. If you are using a shampoo that does not have tea tree oil, then adding a few drops to your regular shampoo can be enough. Only word of caution is, it is better to test your sensitivity to tea tree oil as some people are allergic to it.

 Cocoa Butter

This is a natural source of vitamin E, a very important vitamin for the skin. Applying it to your skin does not supply this essential vitamin to your skin but also makes it soft. Cocoa butter works best in its pure form.

Change Food Habit

This is one thing that often people ignore. There are certain classes of food like those containing gluten which can actually bring about an allergic condition. So those people who are suffering from dermatitis can actually try out a gluten free diet for about six months to see the effects. It has been seen that the condition improves in many cases. The same can be said about cow milk as it is often another cause of allergies.

 Balanced Diet

Balanced diet and proper intake of fluids are other ways in which one can get relief from dermatitis. Lack of fatty acids can dry up your skin which in turn can cause irritation leading to dermatitis. So go for food that contains vitamins like C, D and E as well as those foods where you get omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.
