The Beauty of Eczema | Skincare Review

Eczema or Atopic Dermatitis, is a condition characterized by red, itchy, flaky skin and like many ailments, the symptoms and degree of severity varies based on a number of factors. 

I don’t suffer from eczema, but my sister does so I know how uncomfortable the flare-ups can be. The Beauty of Eczema is a vegan brand that promotes mental health awareness and skin positivity based on a holistic approach. Their products are cruelty-free and 97.9% naturally derived from Mango Butter, rich Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Almond Oil and Oat Lipids.

The formulas are gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. They do not cause irritation or allergic reactions from harsh sulphates, dyes, chemicals or fragrance. 

I wanted to try this collection because my skin is quite sensitive during the summer. I am prone to red, itchy heat rashes, sunburn and unexplained allergic reactions. Since I began using this collection, my skin has been less irritated and more hydrated. 

Before I review each item, let’s recap. 

 These products are great for: 

*Sensitive skin 

*Normal to dry skin 

*Extremely dry itchy skin 

*Inflammation and redness 

*Alleviating the symptoms of eczema and other forms of dermatitis 

Let’s start in the shower – where our day begins and ends. The Skin Wash ($23.99) is formulated for the face and body so go ahead and lather up from head-to-toe! The antioxidants and gentle cleansers remove dirt, oil, sweat, makeup residue and impurities without stripping away essential moisture or leaving skin tight and dry. It actually makes my body feel smooth and supple (especially when paired with the Moisturizing Cream) and I don’t have to worry about breakouts.

If you have time for a warm, relaxing bath, the new Bathing Oil ($37.99) and Bath Salts ($25.99) will help melt the stress away and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The Bath Salt has an earthy oat scent – very natural and inviting. It contains a wonderful blend of mineral-rich salt: pink Himalayan blush, Dead Sea and Epsom + a few skin softening oils.

The Bathing Oil is infused with Castor Oil, protein-rich Oak Kernel and Omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids to keep skin supple, balanced, moisturized and healthy. When you emerge from the tub, your skin will feel incredible!

Finish your self-care routine by applying a generous amount of the Moisturizing Cream ($31.99), formulated to protect skin’s natural moisture barrier. The healing blend of oat lipids, lush butters and Omega oils soothe, strengthen and replenish without greasiness.

This UK brand is exclusively available at Shoppers Drug Mart and shoppersdrugmart.ca. You can also check out the collection at thebeautyofeczema.com.
