hey guys welcome to my channel this video is going to be about eczema and
skincare so when I was a baby I suffered quite severely from eczema but after a
few years it did just clear up completely and I was completely 100%
fine for most of my childhood leading up to my teenage years but when I joined
uni a few years ago I had a really bad reaction just on my face like my whole
face swelled up and I will be doing another video just to talk about my
experience with that and probably a few pictures but at the moment I'm still
quite self-conscious about how I looked when that was happening not many people
have seen those pictures or no one has seen those pictures the only people that have seen
me like that or my parents because obviously they were there so this video
is going to be about how I managed to overcome that I would like to say that
everything is completely fine now but that wouldn't be true I do have
flare-ups sometimes and that's just normal with eczema sufferers I do get
a few flare-ups around my cheek area and if I rub my eyes too much and if I like
tear up around my eyes I do get some flare-ups around there and I first
started up I went to the GP with my mom and I didn't know what it was I thought
it was some sort of allergic reaction I thought it was something that I had
eaten I wasn't sure what it was I thought something had come into contact
with my face I didn't know at all what it was so the doctor had a look at me
and it was so bad that I walked into the office and she literally went oh wow
okay I mean way to make me feel good doc so that makes you worse but um
she asked me if I had suffered from eczema in the past and what other things
that I had and I told her I have a fever and that's pretty much it and I hadn't
suffered from eczema in years literally like 15 years I hadn't suffered at all
and she said it's eczema and I was wondering how can that be true my eczema
is cured I haven't had any since I was a baby but she insisted that
that's what it was so she prescribed this to me let me just so this is what
she prescribed to me it is Protopic ointment and you're only supposed to
put a teeny teeny tiny bit of it on your face literally a pea-sized of it onto
your face and that's what you're supposed to use for your whole face like
it's such a strong ointment that it thins your
skin out so what happens when you have eczema and it flares up so intensely
that your skin thickens it thickens and it looks really hivey and bumpy and
it's so itchy and what it (Protopic) does is it thins your skin and it does work after a
week my face was completely fine again but what happened was I became I'm not
sure I've addicted is the right word but my skin was very dependent upon it and
every time I had the tiniest little breakout I would put it onto my face and
I would just slather it all over and you know what it burns when you put it on
I cannot tell you how many sleepless nights I had in that year and a half
while I would use it almost every three weeks I would use it for
about three or four days every three weeks and it's just I didn't want to
live like that so of course I started to wear a lot of makeup to cover it up and
I never really wore makeup up until this point and I really did annoy me when
people were connecting the dots but doing it wrong
they were telling me oh your eczema is flaring up your skin doesn't like your
makeup but when in reality I was wearing makeup to cover up the eczema it wasn't
the other way around yes it was irritating it a little bit
because my skin was very irritable but it wasn't causing it I just want to make
that clear and it was annoying me for a really long time and it still does and
people try and say it's about that anyway I am going to be doing another
video just on makeup that I have used that my eczema doesn't get irritated
about because I went through a lot of different makeups and trial and error
with what was irritating my skin and what wasn't so I will be doing another
video on that probably next week so I was wearing a lot of makeup and so I
needed ways to take off the makeup and this is when I came and found Liz Earle
this cream this brand I went into boots and they told me that this was the best
skin care product in the world they had won like about 50 Awards or
something like that the lady was telling me she was really selling it to me and
you know what I was willing to try anything I think I've spent about £50
on the whole collection and I wanted it to I just wanted it to work it
was supposed to be friendly for your skin I just wanted a good skin again
because I was always known as that girl that had good skin and now I didn't have
skin it was really starting to get to me and my self-esteem so I'm going to bring
you a closer just to look at all of these products that from Liz Earle
were recommended to me so this is the cleanse and polish which is supposed to
be used to take off your makeup and here is the instant boost skin tonic that you
put on after you've washed your face and here is a the moisturizer this cleanse
and polish this one the first one that I showed is supposed to you just pump a
little bit onto your hand rub it together and then just put it all over
your face and it will take off even mascara and it did come with a
microfiber cloth it came with two in the pack that I got and you use that you put
it with hot water and then you just scrub it all off and it did
work it was really good and then this tonic you're supposed to have cotton
pads put a little bit on and it's supposed to revitalize your face and
take off any excess makeup that you have left on your face because believe it or
not makeup will be left on your face even after a clean even after a scrub
and it's good to just get it all out so your pores are nice and cleansed and
finally they gave me this really nice cream it's a really nice moisturizer
it's for dry and sensitive which is actually perfect
I actually might start using this again I'm not sure I'm so so scared about
using new things again because I haven't actually used this in about a year now
and I stopped using it because I feel like my skin I don't like it when I did
put the product onto my face it did burn a little and you know what I thought
oh it's fine it's fine it's supposed to burn a little it's not supposed to burn
people if it burns it's not good some people say if it's stinging your skin
it's doing the trick I don't go by that rule I go by if it feels comfortable
it's good for your skin if it hurts it's not supposed to hurt
that's just me I've heard people say different but with my skin because it's
so sensitive and because of the eczema there's no way I'm gonna risk allowing
something that stings my skin to stay on my skin it's just not gonna happen
anyway oh and I forgot to show they did have an exfoliator which I'm actually
just not gonna bother showing you because I never actually used it
because exfoliating deliberately dries out your skin it strips your skin
of the the oils and it is good to do especially if you have oily skin you
should do it quite- I don't want to say often because I don't have
my skin so I don't know but I have heard people say do it and at least every
three days I go by the rule I do it when my skin is looking not flared up
and risk it getting even more flared up I don't exfoliate my skin that often
because my skin is just not supposed to be extra dry because it's already dry
but that's just me that's just me all of this that I was saying in this video is
just my own personal experience these products could work really well for
other people that suffer with eczema or even other people with sensitive skin or
just any other types of skin but for me it didn't work and I'm just telling you
my experience so I was using that for a while and then I stopped using it
because I realized that stinging stuff should not stay on my skin but then I
had this friend at uni she also suffers from eczema and she suffers from acne
and it's a really tricky time for her but apparently her grandma I think it
was her grandma recommended that she get this let me zoom you in argan oil
and you know what I have no qualms with this it is really good I'm going to read
to you I have so many bottles so I got really excited when I found out about
this really loved it she let me use it when I
slept over her house after a night out and I just feel like it really did
moisturize my skin and my skin felt really revitalized I think is the right
word after it and so I got really excited and I found it online and I
ended up buying- ok so I bought I think I bought four or five there was a deal on
it or something it was super cheap I thought I think it was only £3 or £4
so I just bought like a big chunk of it and it came in this huge box
and they gave me 12 I think and you know what your girl was not gonna complain
because free samples I was down for it and you know what I gave some-
I think I gave one to her and I gave one to my friend who has quite
severe acne as well and it's supposed to be really good and I gave one to
I just gave some to my mom and I gave some to my friends and I'll read to you
what it says so on the front it says argan oil night Repair Serum aids in
boosting your skin's natural ability to bounce back from all the daily stresses
it is to endure such as too much Sun, humidity and pollution and on the back
directions of use simply apply several drops all over your face and neck and
gently massaged into the skin so it does have a little dropper and it is
quite a thick serum and I just loved it so much but you know
I felt that when I did put it on my skin it didn't actually do much in terms of
the eczema so I do use it sometimes but I mainly use it in the summertime when
my flare-ups are not that bad I just don't like risking having an even worse
flare-up just by putting things on it but are not tailored to eczema
leading on from that I did a lot of research and I watched loads of YouTube
videos I was just getting so tired of having this problem with my skin I just
didn't want it anymore I was not having it I was already stressed out from uni
and just feeling ugly every single day it just wasn't on for me and I would
be really obsessed with checking my skin every hour or so or less than
that I would check it constantly has it gone down has it gone worse is it
looking better do I still look ugly it's just it was playing in my head and I
just had enough of it so I did a lot of research on it and there loads of different
ways that they were saying they could "cure your eczema" and I tried a bunch of
them and I will do another video about those ways but this is just mainly on skin care today
I did find this ady on YouTube if I can find her I will link her down below she wanted to do more of a natural type of cream to cure
her eczema she had really bad eczema on her eyelids and it was so bad that
she couldn't even open her eyes on most days so she found this I will zoom you in
Elave Sensitive Intensive Cream it contains white soft paraffin 15%
fractionated coconut oil 11% and it is a treatment for eczema and
dermatitis prone skin it says it is dermatological? I don't know how to say
the word... dermatologist approved that's what I'm gonna say
so it is dermatologist approved and it is a pretty cheap product I found it
online for I think it was £8 don't quote me on that I will put
the links down below if you wanted to check it out it is 100% natural products
it says here NON-steroid cream and reduces flare-ups and so I was using it for a
while I did go ham again on the product and I did buy a lot of it
because it was quite cheap and I was terrified of running out of it and it
does take about three weeks to come because it is based in America and I
might America I did get a lot and it turns out that the that the bottle lasts
for a while I'm just gonna show it to you guys
it is fairly big and I wasn't using it for my whole body so this is how big it
is I wasn't using it for my whole body I was just using it for my face and my
hands so yes I do suffer from eczema on my hands as well and it is actually how
it started off when I first flared up like two years ago
and it was fine I would just put a little bit of Epiderm on it- Epiderm.
I will come back to Epiderm and it would be completely fine really and then my
face flared up anyway so I would use that product just from my face in my hands
and then I got really scared because I started to read more reviews that
despite it being tailored for eczema and dermatitis which is another
disease which is in the same sort of league as eczema but it is a little bit
different I did know the difference once and I have actually forgotten that now
because I haven't done a lot of research in a while but if you were interested I
could do another video or just link to you below on the videos that I watched
when I was learning about the difference so I was really worried that despite
it treating my eczema, the side effects of it were that you could
develop dermatitis and that terrified me because I was not gonna be here and have
another skin disorder it was just not happening so I stopped using it on my
face it was working actually really well for my hands and I did actually write a
review on the website about how it didn't work for my face but it worked
for my hand so it is whatever tailors to you but I did give some to
the friend who gave me the argan oil and she seemed to really like it I mean I
don't think it doesn't tackle the eczema but it does reduce the flare ups when
they do happen, does that make sense? so they're not as as red and as itchy it
does tackle the itchiness and that was really good but I wasn't gonna be here
and put it on my face any longer in risk that dermatitis
would happen for me and that was just it was just not gonna happen and it was just not
happening so I did go in search for more pricey products and you know I'm a big
believer of if you spend more coin you're gonna get more things for your
money that's just how it works but there is a fine line of course whether
something is overpriced and they've just slapped a label on it and you could just
get it anywhere else and then there's stuff that is really cheap and it's
cheap for a reason so I did go in search of more pricey products and it's called
Cheryl Lee MD Sensitive Skin Care I believe I will bring you in closer to
show you the products
so this is the first product this is the only one that I have the box of still
this is the second product which is more of an
ointment so the first one was more of a cream and this final one is a steroid
cream so I'm going to talk about the steroid cream first so while I was using
the Elave cream I was still using the pro Topic cream that I showed you at the
beginning this one the one that was prescribed to me by the doctor I was
still using it and it did get to the point where my mom was so so strict on
me not using it she knows how dependent people can get from creams like this she
thought it was a steroid cream is actually not a steroid cream but it is
in the same league as a steroid cream and I did some research about it and
it's actually more addictive than steroid creams such as hydrocortisone so
my friend the one that has been- my eczema friend she's my girl
so her doctor prescribes hydrocortisone to her and Protopic is more of a new
treatment for eczema and I think she'd been going to see her GP about her
eczema for a few years now so he was just
carry the stuff that they used to give which is how to question which is what
sometimes they do still prescribe to you and mine just happened to give me a
Protopic instead and the Protopic is one that stings but the hydrocortisone does
not burn it is like it is just a cream it is a white cream whereas the
Protopic is a clear ointment right so this set that I got from Cheryl Lee products
Cheryl Lee MD she recommends on her site to get these three products
all together and what you would do is there are instructions when
you are flared up and it's looking really bad it's supposed to put the
hydrocortisone steroid cream on where your flared up first and rub it into
the skin and then on top of that you put the ointment which is supposed to keep
you more hydrated I think and then when you're not flared up or when you don't
want to walk out looking like a shiny shiny Vaseline girl which is what this
would do to you because it is an ointment and it is shiny and you put
this one on it which is a cream and you're supposed to put this one on it
when you are not flared up aswell and it's supposed to I think it was something
about rebuilding the natural barriers that you have on your skin which has
been destroyed due to the eczema it's supposed to-
it says deep moisturizing dry skin therapy and you know what I did use
those products for quite awhile and I don't remember why I stopped using them
but I think it was just I don't think that they were doing much to my skin and
I just feel like it was just making it worse and it
wasn't comfortable putting on the ointment it wasn't like putting on
epiderm I'm gonna show you my epiderm now, epiderm best thing in the world it
is the best thing in the world I've been using this since when I reacted when I
was a baby my mom used to slather my body with this again I still use it from
my lips so my lips are never dried and it is the best thing in the world
this is soothing on your skin it is soothing and you know what you can't get
them prescribed to you and I used to get prescribed when I was a baby but now my
eczema is not as bad I don't need a prescription I do just buy it and you
can get it in a Superdrug and I think you might be able to get it in Boots as
well the ointment from the Cheryl Lee products did not feel like that at all
it didn't feel moisturizing it felt drying and that was
just on my skin it could work for someone else I have read so many good
reviews for it and it is supposed to be really skin friendly they do recommend
it on babies which do have really sensitive skin so I stopped using that
product and I was on the hunt to find another product for my face because I
can't have no moisturizer on my face and I can't be using epiderm to walk out and
about in the street with your shiny face and it's just it wasn't gonna happen so
I did do a lot of research and I ended up finding this woman on Instagram and
she was talking about her eczema story and it was really inspiring and she uses a
lot of products as well and she does get stuff sent to her just to try things out
and her Instagram blew up and I will link her Instagram down
below because her story is really inspiring and it just makes you feel a
lot better knowing that you're the only person out there that's
suffering from it and she was suffering really badly it was all down her arms
all down her legs on her back on her chest on her face it was
honestly I'm not going to go into it you can just see her Instagram page below
and she recommended these products and I was looking into stuff that's more
natural of course I didn't want any more steroid cream so around January time
this year 2018 I decided to stop the Protopic and it would have been a year (using it)
at that point and I have read a few studies that were saying there's no research on
people who have continued using Protopic for longer than a year there
have been no good things that I've read and there are so many stories that I
read about that when they were on the steroid cream for years and they came
off of it they had the worst flare-ups of their entire lives and it lasted
weeks to months and I did not one that happening to me so I decided to come off
the Protopic and decide to come up the hydrocortisone full stop I did not go
back onto it and it was really tempting for a while but I just had to soldier on
because in the long run I just didn't like I didn't want
the eczema on my face forever it's just not something that I wanted I doubt it's
something anyone wants so I ended up looking at her page and she recommended this and
it is I'm not kidding- it's the best
it's called Child's Farm I will be zooming you in so here it is just ignore
my hand so this product I feel has changed my life that's really dramatic
it was really dramatic but it is super good is actually in the child section in
Boots and it is quite difficult to find actually sometimes I go in there and
there's none left or something and it was it's quite
annoying so when I do get it I do get in big bundles which is what I do now
apparently I just spent lots of money on things and then I just have those loads
over at the end I'm not working for me in the long run but that's just what I
do and I just like to waste my money I love this and it's just
so good for your skin it is quite soothing I just feel like you need to
get stuff that is tailored specifically for eczema which is what I didn't do
with this one other product I'll show you
Vitamin E Cream it is a product made from Superdrug I believe it is a Superdrug
product super nice it smells amazing and it is one of the only
products I have ever seen out that has the option dry to very dry skin
I always see normal to dry skin normal to dry skin oily skin to normal skin
there is nothing that even indicates that some people might not have normal
skin which is what I don't have when I have flare-ups it's not normal skin and
you know what when I started using this my eyes were watering quite a lot and
you know what it's because it's fragranced I can't use anything
fragrance on my face because of the sensitivity of my skin and my eczema
I just kept soldiering on though I went to Brazil and I just kept using this and
my skin didn't look that great obviously it's very different when you're in a hot
country your skin does improve well my skin in particular does improve but I
continue using this despite my eyes watering every time so I would just end
up using at nighttime because I was thinking oh my eyes are going to be
closed anyway they weren't going to be open they're
not gonna be you know damaged by the fragrance or anything and that was what
I was thinking but you know I just stopped using it now my mum's using it
now and she loves it so I'm just giving it to her but it's not what I use now I
just use I just use the Child's Farm it is suitable for sensitive and eczema
prone skin dermatologist approved and pediatrician approved because it is in
the child section the baby section and you know I actually prefer that because
children do have really sensitive skin and I have sensitive skin so I just like
using stuff that's made specifically for sensitive skin, when they say sensitive skin for
adults it's just not the right it's just not the same so I like using baby
products just like how I used to use Johnson's baby cream it is doing the
natural nourishing lotion I'm not gonna bother zooming you in because I think
you can see it from here and I used to use this baby over my entire body before
my flare-ups I'd use it on my face I'd use it on my body it was the best thing and I loved
it for so long and then I have my flare and it's not for eczema so I stopped
using it my mom still loves it but I can't use it anymore and it does make me
really sad because it is really good cream I do recommend it for anyone I was
using it up until I was 18 years old which is when I had my flare up so that is
what I recommend Child's Farm they do have a bunch of
other products we have a sun cream and a an after sun as well and I was using
that when I go on holiday and it is really good and it is factor 50 the sun
lotion so amazing really good doesn't irritate your skin because there are
stuff in other sun lotions that just because- you can smell it you can
smell the chemicals inside the product and I just wasn't gonna risk putting
that on my face especially as I was on holiday the last skin care product I thought I'm
going to be talking about is E45 cream I'm not going to bring you in closer
because I think if you know about it you know about it a lot of people know about
it you can just pick it up any drugstore, Superdrug, Boots it is the bomb it is
amazing they have lotions they have ointments
it does have white soft paraffin in it as all skin products to do when they are
tailored specifically for eczema those types of skin disorders I use this all
over my body and I use the Child's Farm for my face
in particular just because I have most flareups on my face this I just use for my
body and it is super hydrating and I did also use the Child's Farm for my hands
sometimes when I don't use my Elave I do switch between them sometimes I'm just
going to be stopping the videos there I am gonna do a part two on skincare that
I used when I'm taking off my makeup when I'm washing my face but this was
all just cream based stuff I do have a lot of things and my battery is running
low so I'm going to be doing down another week I feel like there's so much
content here that you're just gonna be tired of me talking by now I hope this
was useful for anyone suffering from eczema or anyone who just wants to be
knowledgeable on those types of products and stay tuned it would mean a lot to me
if you maybe like and comment and subscribe and put the notifications on
it just click it down there and that would mean a lot to me thank you so much
for watching if you've made it this far I'll see you soon
love you guys!!
