Managing eczema and Psoriasis can be stressful as i know the feeling of wanting to calm the itching, the inflamed skin etc. So far, the fragrance free night face oil has really helped a lot of people who suffer with Eczema. Many customers have also been using this oil on other body parts such as their hands, legs etc.
With psoriasis, the Nourishing body oil is the best. This has helped calm my flares down by removing the itching and soreness. I used this every night after my shower and slowly massage into the affected areas. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, therefore it requires dedication and patience.
