Institut Takumi Finch

Eczema & reactive skin

Soothe, protect, rebalance

Presentation

A gentle treatment specifically designed for skin prone to eczema, itching, or redness. Without invasive techniques or aggressive products, this method uses a few drops of natural oils to calm the nervous system and nourish the skin’s natural protective barrier.

  • Slow, steady touch
  • Helps reduce inflammatory flare-ups
  • Can complement medical treatment

Indications

  • Skin prone to eczema or recurrent inflammatory attacks
  • Diffuse redness, tightness, itching
  • Skin reacting to the slightest change (in stress and environment)
  • People struggling to feel comfortable with their skin.

Benefits include

  • Improved skin comfort, reduced tightness
  • Decreased itching and irritation
  • A protective, soothing sensation
  • Gentle reconnection with your skin and face

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.
