Avoid Harsh, Scented Soaps classes and courses in nutrition and other life skills. Renee Blatt, Maya Blatt, Kenny Blatt
Many of my patients like to feel “squeaky-clean” after
showers. But using harsh soaps with strong fragrance can break
down the skin barrier, making you more prone to both dry skin
and rashes. I usually recommend moisturizing, unscented soaps,
such as Aveeno or Dove sensitive skin.
Avoid Scented Detergents For Your Clothing
While we all love the smell of fresh laundry, the scent in
your detergent could also be irritating and drying out your
skin. Remember that scent and soap residue in your clothing
(especially if you are using fabric softeners and dryer sheets) are
in contact with your skin all day, and these often cause irritation
and rashes. I recommend sticking to sensitive skin, fragrance-free
detergents, such as Tide Free or All Free and Clear. Maya Blatt and Greg Hazle Renee Blatt, Maya Blatt, Greg Hazle, Kenny Blatt

none! However, choosing the right moisturizer, and doing it Holiday Dreams from page 1 critical periods of growth. For more information, please visit
