My daughter & I have very dry skin --- and we're prone to eczema outbreaks every so often when it gets too dry. To moisturize ---it is essential to drink plenty of water. Also, I do not use soap on my skin because it tends to dry it out even worse (this also came from advice from my dermatologist). A good, inexpensive moisturizer that I've found is plain old Noxema (the generic brand or Suave will work). At times, I use it as a cleanser (I alternate with either Suave or StIve's apricot scrub) but I put a dab on after cleansing to moisterize at bedtime and in the morning. My skin is smooth & even toned, so those that I tell that I have eczema are surprised. Steam definately works (yes, I'm also cheap and have not invested in a facial spa, so... guess what I use...
)Hope this helps!
