What can you do about perioral dermatitis (clown eczema)
The solution to perioral dermatitis lies with the cause. This type of eczema around the mouth is usually caused by using products that contain corticosteroids (adrenal cortex hormones).

The more potent the corticosteroid, the greater the chance of provoking perioral dermatitis. Cosmetics can also play a role in the development of clown eczema.

Why is a natural treatment so important?
Our skin is provided with a protective layer by Mother Nature. For example, it provides hydration to the skin and at the same time stops harmful substances. In skin conditions such as clown eczema, this protective layer (the epidermis) is damaged. It is therefore important to restore the skin balance as quickly as possible.
That is why a natural treatment with mild products is so important. In severe cases, it can be helpful to consult your doctor local antibiotics to use. And even then it is important to only use mild and effective organic facial care to use. It respects the skin's natural barrier and keeps it intact.
This is how you treat perioral dermatitis in a natural way
An important rule of thumb for perioral dermatitis is 'less is more'. This means that you minimize and simplify your skin care as much as possible. Opt for mild and soothing ingredients that don't seal the skin. The fewer ingredients a remedy for clown eczema contains, the better.
Therefore, use simple but effective facial care that does not affect the natural skin barrier and helps to improve it. Well-known calming and gentle ingredients are, for example, chamomile, rose and argan oil. In addition, probiotics strengthen the natural protective mechanism of the skin.
Only clean your face in the evening with water and a mild facial cleanser. At night, a valuable acid mantle is naturally formed on the skin's surface. Cleaning too often can lead to breakdown of this acid mantle. And that in turn leads to increased sensitivity, inflammation and irritation. Only use a in the morning natural face mist to refresh your skin.
