In what order should I apply my creams and how much time should I wait between each one?

To determine the order in which to apply your creams and how long to wait between each one, it is recommended to apply moisturizer a few minutes after applying any treatment creams to allow them to dry on the skin. The key to managing eczema is hydration, so it is advisable to apply moisturizer at least three times a day. After taking a shower or bath, avoid rubbing your skin with a towel and instead gently pat it to retain some moisture, then apply moisturizer within five minutes of getting out of the shower.
