Morning skincare routine for eczema-prone skin (3 steps)

This morning routine for eczema-prone skin takes about four minutes and ends with sunscreen: fragrance-free cream cleanser, ceramide serum and mineral SPF.

The order

fragrance-free cream cleanser → ceramide serum → mineral SPF.

Timing and texture

Apply products from lightest to heaviest. Tacky layers need a moment to settle before the next goes on.

Watch for fragrance, hot water, wool, detergent residue and winter air — they are the daytime factors most likely to undo the routine.

What to leave out

Leave out essential oils and long hot showers. Keep treatment acids for the evening.

Your weekly zone checklist

Use the same angle and the same window light each week, then look at one zone at a time.
