What age to start moisturising?

Anyone know at what age I should start my daughter moisturising etc? She has eczema and hence very dry skin.

    Try talking to your pharmacist or a dermatologist for more info.
    Although it`s a good idea to use gentle products designed for sensitive skin, I`m sure a professional will be able to give you much more informed info for your daughter`s skin condition 🙂

    I had eczema when I was younger, not sure what my mum did about it but I seem to be largely okay now.. blinks Although my skin is still very susceptible to being dry hm..

    I agree with evryone else, start now if you have not already. I do think it needs to be an all rounded approach. Sensative and moisturising body wash or soap, sensitive face washes, non chemical sunscreens and non chemical moisturisers. I have not suffered from eczma but at one stage had bad dry, cracking and peeling skin from Roaccutane (acne medication) and highly recomend using oils of the skin such as olive oil, rose hip oile and vitamin e oil. They can be used during the day but some can be greasy so I mainly used them at night. Hope this ideas helps.
