Sarah Murrell co-founder

Dry, red, itchy and inflamed skin are often symptoms of a form of skin dermatitis, known as eczema. If you've struggled with eczema on your face and eyes you'll know how uncomfortable it can be, particularly in the winter months - cue central heating and cold weather; a recipe for flare-ups. Read on as we share our top skin care tips to help soothe eczema and protect your skin.

What causes eczema?

Eczema can appear as a small patch on the body or can be more severe on the face, neck and around the eyes and across the eyelids. There are several factors that may contribute to eczema, from genetics and lifestyle, stress and cold weather to certain foods (such as dairy) and harsh washing detergents. Keep a diary of your skincare journey and experiences to help identify when your skin is most uncomfortable and what triggers any eczema breakouts.

How to soothe eczema skin?

Look for gentle, nourishing natural skincare formulas. Ingredients like prebiotic inulin, chamomile and natural plant oils help to strengthen the skin barrier and support the lipidic layers of the skin, delivering vital nutrients.

You can take comfort knowing that our By Sarah skincare range is Dermatologically Tested, suitable for sensitive skin and formulated without any ingredients known to cause irritation; free from all fragrance and essential oils.

How to reduce flare ups?

Whether you’re prone to flare ups, have been on steroid or paraffin based creams for a long time or are just coming off them, most mainstream moisturisers out there will be too strong for your weakened skin barrier. A good eczema cream? Look for clinically-proven formulas with hydrating actives, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, like our Maven Daily Moisturiser that provides deep, long-lasting hydration and repairs the skin barrier, for a complexion that is calm, comfortable and radiant.

It's also incredibly important to protect your skin from the sun, especially during a flare up. A broad-spectrum PA++++ sunscreen should be an everyday essential in your skincare routine to protect your skin all year-round. Our Serene Daily SPF 50+ is dermatologically-approved for sensitive skin and enriched with ginseng, apple and peach extracts to replenish and nourish your skin whilst also providing the highest possible UVA and UVB protection.
