Ask anyone who has ever suffered the skin conditions eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis and they'll tell you it's no picnic. With distressing symptoms including dry, inflamed and sometimes weeping or infected skin, sufferers are often further frustrated by the dearth of quick-fix remedies. Massage may offer relief and healing
Massage doesn't just feel great, it can also have healing effects on skin aggravated by eczema and psoriasis.
According to a qualifed massage therapist "Massage helps chronic skin conditions through the application of oils to rehydrate the skin. Regular massage is a perfect opportunity to let your skin soak in beautiful oils while a therapist soothes your mind and body. This can calm the mind allowing the body to de-stress the skin".
"Coconut oil is recommended for its healing properties and the fact it can be supplied in a cold-pressed organic form".
