Massage mediums suitable for therapist with Eczema

[Fuzzyjubjub]

Hi All

Does anyone have any advise of suggestions for suitable massage mediums for someone suffering with eczema? I've always traditionally used Grapeseed oil, but this is now causing my hands to flare up and so am currently experimenting with various massage creams - but still not managed to find a perfect solution. If any one has any suggestions of good commercially available and cost effective products that are also good to massage with (some seem too sticky or thick) I'd love to hear from you. Thanks a million

Hiya

It may be a case of experimenting until you find something that suits you, but FWIW I find Jojoba or Hemp quite good for me (I have eczema on my elbows).

Have you tried the massage cream by Skintruth, Ellisons supply it, as do Salon Services. It has geranium and lavender in so quite gentle.

Have you tried soya oil?

I have quite bad psorriassis on my feet and Dreamcream by Lush cosmetics helps a lot, but not sure how long that would stay on the body for massaging, but would probably help your eczema. They also do a range of massage bars, which are nice to work with, easy to carry around and not messy!

If you do aromatherapy, you could try a blend for eczema, even just on yourself.

sorry this is a bit long, just had a few suggestions!
Good luck!

I now use Tui Massage Waxes exclusively, and my clients often comment on the quality and properties of them. I'd suggest you give Andy a call at Songbird Naturals.

I also use Tui massage waxes and highly recommend them.
