nvesting in your favorite brand of moisturizer while remembering if it suits your skin can be a delightful experience. It allows you to go through a number of brands before you settle on one that is compatible with your skin.

Relying on a moisturizer also feels necessary and as one of the basic products that should and does live in your vanity box. The use feels necessary as the weather changes, particularly as you enter the winter season.

That said, scientific discoveries and breakthroughs are constantly changing and guiding us in the process.

And if the internet has made one thing available, it is information. The right website that offers scientific discoveries on various topics can make you wonder and ask of you to go against the grain. In other cases, your basic idea of a beauty regime can appear incompatible according to scientific research.

Or, on the other hand, new scientific discoveries can reveal how your basic beauty regime has a larger impact on your skin or a skin disorder.

A case in point is whether using a moisturizer can help with eczema. If the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology is to be believed, the answer is yes.

According to new research, the most chronic skin disorder that is seen in children is atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as atopic eczema.

Those who suffer from eczema can, as a result, also experience other illnesses including food allergies, asthma, and allergic rhinitis.

Opting for “effective preventive and treatment strategy” from an early age is a healthier solution.

Funded by the Key Research and Development Project of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology, feels using moisturizer from an early age is akin to a solution from (a) getting eczema and (b) the corresponding health conditions that can follow.

In fact, as the journal notes, it is especially helpful with infants.

To understand the matter deeper, the journal conducted an experiment to come to this conclusion.

Reported SciTechDaily: “The analysis included 11 randomized controlled trials involving 3,483 infants. Three types of emollients, including cream, emulsion (the combination of two fluids that usually don’t mix), and mixed types were comparable in preventing AD; however, an additional analysis suggested that emollient emulsion may be the best option.”

Said the journal: “The results of this systematic review and network meta-analysis show that early application of skin emollients can effectively prevent AD development in infants.

“Moreover, among the available three types of emollients, the emollient emulsion is probably the optimal option in infancy to prevent AD development more effectively.”

So, now you know it, apart from helping with dry skin, there is another helpful potential to moisturizers. So, if it isn’t in your vanity box, get on it. ‘Tis the [perfect] season.
