There's a specific kind of frustrating that comes with skin that just won't cooperate. I'm not talking about a rash that clears in a week or dryness that a good moisturiser handles. I mean the kind where you've tried everything on the shelf, and maybe some things that weren't; prescription-strength steroid cream, antifungals, the expensive ceramide serums - and something keeps pulling you back to the same place, the same patch, the same cycle...
So why does it happen and how can Deep Tissue & Skin Balm help? It may be one of those products where the ingredient list looks intimidating until you understand what each thing is doing, and then it starts to make a lot of sense.
Eczema, dermatitis, and a handful of things that get misdiagnosed as one or the other all share the same root problem. The skin barrier itself is compromised. The standard treatments are designed to suppress symptoms and they often just make the problem worse. You cannot fix a barrier problem by introducing a moisture problem. Below is the full picture - what's actually happening, what's keeping it stuck, and how each ingredient in this balm actually nourishes, protects and supports healing of the skin.
