Cleanse your face with coconut oil. It contains antibacterial and antifungal properties that may also be beneficial for atopic dermatitis. To cleanse, rub the oil into your face and neck with your fingers in a circular motion. Leave on for added moisturizing throughout the evening and wash off residual oil with your usual facial cleanser in the morning. Skip store-bought products and exfoliate with an equally effective, homemade facial scrub.
