Ever felt like your skin was working against you – and that no one understood?  ​ In this new video, I share my full eczema journey – how it started in childhood, intensified after heartbreak and postpartum, and nearly pushed me to give up. I open up about the emotional pain, the turning points, and the long, messy road to healing. ​ Could healing your skin start with healing more than just your body? ​ I went through a tough time with my skin, dealing with rashes that left me feeling uncomfortable and unable to shower. I struggled with my self-image and often avoided looking in the mirror.  ​ But somehow, I found my way through and eventually healed. ​ After 10 years, I'm ready to share my complete story about battling eczema. It all started in my childhood, became overwhelming during difficult life events like heartbreak and after having a baby, and finally, I discovered what truly helped me heal. ​ I faced severe skin flare-ups and deep feelings of sadness, but I found my way to recovery by taking a whole-person approach – focusing on my overall health rather than just my skin.  ​ I want to share my honest journey, the unexpected triggers I discovered, and the hope that I thought I had lost. ​ 💡 3 important THINGS from my experience: 1️⃣ Eczema isn't just about the skin—our emotions, stress, and past experiences can make flare-ups worse. 2️⃣ Changing my diet helped a bit, but real healing came when I also looked at my gut health, nutritional needs, and hormones. 3️⃣ Even when doctors say things seem hopeless, improvements are possible! ​ If you’re battling eczema or dealing with the effects of stopping steroid creams, don’t lose hope.

And understanding your skin’s natural rhythm can be a game-changer for managing flare-ups. ​ Here’s what I cover in the episode: ​ - Why itching tends to get worse at night while you’re trying to sleep. - The time of day your skin is most vulnerable—and when it’s strongest. - Easy tips to work with your skin’s circadian rhythm to reduce flares. ​ Sources:  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6777699/  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2878924/   https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/17/6/801   https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Timing-is-everything-%3A-Overview-and-possible-of-the-Cohen-Roniger/d25ecc5c3e1216057f14e21e5700c5edacf5f27e  ​ ​ ​ Book your free breakthrough call now and start your journey: https://www.conqueryoureczema.com/results   ​ Get my free guide on 15 Overlooked Root Causes of Eczema: https://conqueryoureczema.com/root-causes-guide   ​ For more resources and support, www.eczemaconquerors.com  

Could one “healthy” oil be sabotaging your eczema recovery? It might be sitting in your skincare right now - and making things worse. ​ Despite its popular reputation, this common oil has been shown to weaken the skin barrier and increase inflammation, especially in sensitive or eczema-prone skin. ​ In this episode, I’m breaking down why I never recommend it for eczema - and sharing a powerful study that compared it to another oil that actually improved skin hydration and barrier function. The difference is more important than most people realize. If your skin feels drier, redder, or more irritated after applying certain products, this could be the missing link. ​ If you’re ready to take charge of your eczema, you can book a free consultation here: https://www.conqueryoureczema.com/results   ​ And don’t forget to grab my free guide on 15 Overlooked Root Causes of Eczema: https://conqueryoureczema.com/root-causes-guide   ​ For more helpful tips, resources, and support, visit www.eczemaconquerors.com
