Lavender works wonders on many skin conditions. Lavender is known for its anti-inflammatory agents along with this ability to reduce pain and itchiness.
Sandalwood essential oil works to moisturize and soothe the skin also carries anti-inflammatory and anti-itching properties. Keep in mind sandalwood is not for use in a pregnant woman.
Tea Tree essential oil helps during outbreaks due to the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Chamomile helps by soothing the dry skin and reducing swelling. It can also help irritation and itchiness that is associated with eczema.

This, of course, is a guideline to a recipe I enjoy, feel free to create your own recipes. Please do your homework or ask questions on this post! I will help you the best way I can or point you in the right direction! I am not a doctor and this should never be used as medical advice.
