Professional Skin: Traveling with Eczema


Dear Frequent Flyers,

Sometimes if we are not careful, eczema, psoriasis and adult acne can become a debilitating condition. A physical condition, if not carefully monitered can begin to affect ones psychological and social health. 

Eczema does not have to harm your peace of mind, your social status or your professional career. 

Here are a few things you can do so that you can travel with ease:

1. Request a non-smoking hotel room
2. Travel with eczema travel kit
----- Daily Medication (if any)
----- 1% Hydrocortisone Cream (for unexpected breakouts)
-----  Vaseline (great emollient)
----- Olive Oil (In well sealed, small, portable container)
----- Lotion (stay away from hotel lotion. Cera Ve, Cetaphil, Eucerine work well)
----- Soap (stay away from hotel soap/detergent. Aveno, Cetaphil, Homemade Soap, or Oatmeal may work well)
---- Shampoo (stay away from hotel shampoo)
---- Plastic Covers for Pillows
I reckon, when you have eczema... you can never be too careful. 
Love,
Lhea J.
