1. Moisturizers.
Moisturizers, such as creams and lotions, can help hydrate the outermost layer of the skin. They are often essential for managing skin conditions that cause itching and dryness.
A good moisturizer will contain humectants and emollients. Humectants draw water into the skin, while emollients form a protective film over the skin’s surface, which helps lock in moisture.
It is best to apply moisturizers soon after a bath or shower, while the skin is still a little damp.
2. Baking soda.
Baking soda has antifungal properties, and it is an effective treatment for a range of fungal skin conditions, many of which can cause itching of the skin.
Adding one-quarter of a cup of baking soda to a warm bath can serve as a remedy for itchy skin.
An alternative option is to mix the baking soda with a little water to form a paste, which a person can apply directly onto itchy areas.
