I have some mild to moderate eczema. I use Eucerin Skin Calming Dry Skin Body Wash
I use a mild, fragrance and dye free soap only on the more... apocrine areas—then I use the body wash everywhere else. I try to keep the water on the cooler side and finish with a lotion or body oil afterward.
Regarding shampoo... I don't have any specific recommendations other than try shampooing less often (around once a week) and just rinse the rest of the time.
Your sweat has antimicrobial properties to it. The main one is the gene Dermcidin which encodes an antimicrobial peptide that is excreted in human sweat.
It may be your hot showers and over-cleansing that are doing it. Try bringing the temperature down as far as you can stand it. I know how great a hot shower feels after a workout, but my skin just goes all to hell if I indulge myself. Does your gym have a hot tub? Heat does help with muscle recovery and I've found that sitting in the hot tub (as long as it is 101-105 F, any hotter is straight up awful) for 10 minutes gets me the relaxing heat I want from a hot shower but keeps my face out of danger. This may not work for you if your back has a tendency to breakout badly.
If you're going to hot tub often, I recommend a more gentle body wash like Eucerin's Skin Calming Body Wash and a light moisturizer like Hada Labo.
Since it sounds like you've been drying your skin out with all the washing and heat, I highly recommend using the Hada Labo linked above and/or their lighter lotion that's really more like a toner. This one is ultra light and watery. I use it like a toner before the milky Hada Labo.
I also remove my sunscreen and whatever buildup may have occurred during the day with micellar water before working out.
You're welcome! I struggled with the problem for such a long time that I studied it and tried almost everything! Just spreading the word.
These things help, too: body wash 1, body wash 2 and cream 1 and cream 2!
this may be of interest to you, it says body wash but i see no reason you can't use it on your face (i do).

Eucerin makes a similar product, I get it on Amazon in a 3 pack. It isn't as luxurious as the L'occitaine one (the Eucerin is unscented, so no lovely almond scent), but my skin feels pretty much the same after using either.
Amazon Pack of 3 is $23
