What’s the “3-minute rule” for eczema?
It’s a common skincare guideline for eczema that encourages you to apply a thick layer of moisturiser within 3 minutes of washing. This is to lock in moisture while your skin is still slightly damp to help create a protective barrier, prevent moisture from evaporating, and keep your skin hydrated, which can reduce dryness and prevent flare-ups.
