What Is Eczema, Really?

Eczema isn’t just a skin condition — it’s a recurring inflammatory response triggered by a compromised skin barrier. It often results in itching, dryness, flaking, or patches of irritated skin, especially on the hands, arms, face, and legs.

Common Triggers and Symptoms

Environmental irritants, stress, harsh soaps, and even diet can trigger flare-ups. Symptoms range from mild itchiness to severe redness and inflammation. Managing eczema often involves calming and restoring the skin’s natural defenses.

How Probiotics Affect the Skin Barrier

Scientific research suggests that probiotics — like those naturally found in yogurt — may help strengthen the skin’s barrier and reduce inflammatory responses. They encourage a healthier skin microbiome, which can help reduce flare-ups.

Yogurt’s Natural Soothing Properties

Yogurt contains zinc, lactic acid, and probiotics that gently calm the skin. Zinc offers anti-inflammatory effects, lactic acid promotes gentle exfoliation and hydration, and probiotics help restore balance. Together, they’re a soothing trio for irritated skin.
