I just thought I’d post a quick update on my eczema and how I’ve been doing …
I am going to be completely honest with you and tell you that I’ve been very bad recently! Over the last 2 months I’ve let myself slip into really bad diet habits. I’ve been eating a lot of crisps and biscuits and even coke which I don’t normally drink, not for diet reasons but just because I was never a big fan of the stuff!!
Me and my husband have had a busy couple of months (more my husband than me!) and we haven’t has much free time so we’ve been snacking a lot and when we do have time together we like to snuggle up on the sofa, watch a movie and eat more junk!
I’ve not been having much fruit and veg and I’ve noticed my diet has been quite high in salt which is so bad for my eczema! So as you must have figured out by now my skin is in bad shape. I’ve had flare-ups on my face that just won’t go away!!
I have red, dry and itchy patches all over my face but the ones that annoy me the most are under my eyes. I can’t wear concealer because of them and I have bad dark circles that need to be concealed!! But instead now I have both black circles and red patches under my eyes…great!!
I went to a wedding the other day and I looked at the bride and she looked so beautiful! Her skin was flawless and she even did her makeup herself!! I felt quite sad when I saw the picture taken with me sat next to her. I love makeup and I feel very self conscious without it, even worse when I have eczema all over my face! It was a wakeup call for me to do something about it and work even harder to get my skin back to its relatively normal looking state.
Some of the things I’m going to try out are:
1- Aromatherapy
2- Drinking more herbal teas
3- Finding good substitutes for dairy
4- Drink less caffeine
5- Eat more “good” oils
6- Make my own “yeast free” bread
7- Eat less salt and sugar
8- Bake more “eczema friendly” yummies … and more!
I will be blogging and making videos about all of these as I go a long so I can tell you what impact it’s having on my eczema
So watch this space as I am back with a vengeance …muhahaha!

Hi Nadia,
So good to see a blog post here! #4 has been the hardest for me.. I can’t give up coffee during the weekdays so I try and cut back on the weekends! Will be looking forward to your updates!
Thanks very yang
seeing your comment was a nice surprise 
I know what you mean about coffee, I’ve been trying to drink decaf coffee with oat milk to see if it makes a difference in the way I feel. Bought some Chamomile tea with honey, but not tried it yet. Although I’ve tried it before but it was such a long time ago that I can’t even remember what it tastes like haha! not a good sign is it.
Thanks for the comment, keep in touch
