Difficulty: Moderate

Step1

Choose a quality form of Shea butter. Look for 100% pure, unrefined Shea butter with no additives or perfumes.

Step2

Before using Shea butter to treat your skin for eczema, test a small portion of your outbreak with the Shea butter to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction.

Step3

Bathe in it. Take a bath in lukewarm water using non-allergic gentle skin cleansers. Try a soap made of Shea butter. Add a spoonful of Shea butter and one cup of dead sea salts to your bath water. This will soothe the outbreak and add moisture to the skin. Pat your body dry.

Step4

Apply to the skin. While the skin is still damp, apply a liberal amount of eczema to the skin, coating the skin with a thin layer. Massage the Shea butter into affected areas. Apply more Shea butter to the skin throughout the day.

Step5

Wear loose fitting cotton clothes that do not irritate the skin. Avoid wearing wool and textured materials.
