I heard that aloe vera is good for atopic dermatitis. But when I directly apply the gel (fresh from the leaf) on my skin, (face) it dries quickly and my skin feels tight. It’s a little uncomfortable, and when I strech the muscles on my face – by opening my mouth, say – it feel really, really weird. Is it just my skin, or is this normal?

The best approach for Eczema is by using Elidel cream (a non-steroidal soothing approach). My 4 year-old has used this since birth periodically. If you moisturize every day at least in the morning and before bed, it will help also. The Elidel is expensive with insurance ($60) a large tube, and you can imagine without having insurance. If this is too steep of a price rance; try using pure Vitamin E oil that is typically designed for scarring and stretch marks. I used this all of the time after having surgery, and my scars are practically invisible. The sun will also help, but I would try the Vit. E first. Hope this helps–my family has been there.
You can use these products on your face, but you will need powder to cover the oiliness it will show. Eczema is very common and normal, especially during winter months. So with that being said, spring and summer will help. But during the summer, at least use lotion twice every day. Chlorine in pools do not help the skin issue.

Its normal the gel gets dried and the skin beocmes taut. However the medicinal properties of Aloe vera are told in multi proportion and you just try it for some days and if it helps you than everything is good. One this said and done is aloe vera does not harm your skin. All the best.
