🔬 Scientific background
Psychological stress aggravates eczema by impairing the skin barrier and intensifying inflammation. Slow, gentle touch promotes the release of oxytocin, reduces cortisol, and helps break the stress-skin inflammation cycle, resulting in overall soothing of skin and emotional stress.
