RediCare - Great for Anti-Itching and Healing!

Hey another update from me!

To continue with my quest to use natural products, I moved onto RediCare for the past week. I've been using Tortuga as you know from Keys-Soaps and RediCare is also another product from the company.

My eczema has been really irritating for the past few months and my wounds from scratching wasn't healing up and the Betamethasone Valerate that my doctor prescribe seemed to do nothing to help with my itching and rash. It's like nothing was happening in terms of healing. It was so, so, so, soooooo discouraging. So I started looking for help online and since I was reordering more Tortuga, I started reading about RediCare again. I bought the tester, travel size version before and thought it worked well but when it ran out I didn't think of getting more. This time I order one full size and then 2 trail sizes. I carry the travel size and left it at work to help me not to scratch my hands. And guess what? After just a few days, my hand started to healing up. I'm so happy about that!

I use the full size one at home after I take a shower. It helps with moisturizing my body and help with the healing of the skin. The most amazing thing is that it doesn't sting and actually leave your body tingly cool after. But that only happens when I spray it on my body after my shower. Any other time the cooling feeling wasn't as strong. It's great though, because I don't scratch, coz I am feeling good from the coolness of my skin.

I can't tell you how happy I am to see that the top of my right hand is finally healing up. I hated looking at my hands when I pointed to something or when I was typing on my computer at work. It's so gross and you wonder what other people are thinking. Oh well, what can I do but look for way to make myself heal up faster and not feel itchy all the time.

I'm feeling good today. Not itchy and optimistic that this healing lotion will help with my moisturizing regime. I still use Curel Continuous Comfort of course and using that in conjunction with RediCare at work has really helped my not scratching.



Oh did I mention that RediCare is a spray on lotion? That's right it is and it's great coz it can be sprayed on my back and the mist is so fine that I think my skin absorbs it more. I also started using it on my dry scalp. I just spray on the hair line underneath my hair and I think it is helping with moisturizing my scalp and relieving my itchiness. I'm going to continue treating my scalp and see how it goes. My scalp is so dry that it flakes like dandruff. The spray really help me get to my scalp and my scalp feel so cool after application. :)

Let's hope this wonderful new lotion will continue to help and deliver me relief!!! If you are looking for something to moisturize and to help with itching and healing...this is it! The most important thing to me is that it's ALL NATURAL!!!

Found An Eczema Website

I was just surfing around again for eczema information and found one that seems very helpful.

Thought I would share with you here and you can check it out too. I've also added it to my favourite links. The website gives information on what you can do internally and externally for eczema relief.

Check it out, maybe something in there may help you.

Curel and Eczema

Hi there, Happy 2010! Yes, another year has passed and yes of course I still have eczema to deal with.

Near the end of last year, I had a scared. I was looking for my usual body lotion from Curel and only saw one type available. Curel Itch Defense and it's apparently approved by the National Eczema Association. So I thought I would get it since my usual Continuous Comfort Fragrance Free was not available.

I'm not sure how others found the Curel Itch Defense lotion but it did not feel like the usual Continuous Comfort lotion. The texture of Curel Itch Defense was different and left weird on my skin. I must admit I couldn't continue using it because it really didn't feel right on my skin. I felt like I was coating something on my skin and nothing was absorbed. It was just weird.

I kept looking for another 2 weeks for my Continuous Comfort Fragrance Free lotion from Curel and when I kept seeing the Curel Itch Defense on the shelves instead I started to panic. Did Curel replace the Continuous Comfort lotion with the Itch Defense lotion??!!! I freaked out.

Anyway, in the new year I went to Walmart and saw a whole bunch of Curel Continuous Comfort so I bought a whole load just in case. There really is a difference between the two lotions. I can't stand the Curel Itch Defense, it actually made me want to scratch!

So there you have it. My stand on Curel Itch Defense. Of course, that's just my own opinion. It may work for others.
