Let’s be honest—eczema is tough.
It’s more than just dry skin. It’s the persistent itching, the flare-ups that come and go without warning, and the emotional toll it can take—especially when it affects your face, your child’s cheeks, or areas you can’t easily hide.
As someone who’s had countless DMs from frustrated parents and adults battling this condition, I know how deep it runs. And even though I’ve held off on tackling this publicly (because eczema can be so sensitive and personal), today I want to talk openly about it—and more importantly, about what you can do that actually helps.
What Exactly Is Eczema?
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition. It shows up as dry, red, itchy patches, and sometimes cracked or weepy skin. It can affect anyone—from infants to adults—and while there’s no “cure,” there are many ways to manage and reduce flare-ups effectively.
Why Do You (or Your Child) Get Eczema?
The truth is: there’s no single cause. Eczema is often multifactorial, meaning it can be triggered by a combination of things, such as:
- Genetics (family history of allergies or eczema)
- Environmental triggers like dust, weather changes, harsh soaps
- Food sensitivities or intolerances (dairy, gluten, eggs)
- Weakened skin barrier—causing moisture loss and increased irritation
- Stress and immune imbalances
It’s not always easy to figure out what’s triggering your eczema, which is why a holistic approach works best.
So What Can You Do?
Here’s what has worked for many of my clients—and it could help you too.
1. Hydrate the Skin, Religiously
Eczema-prone skin loses moisture fast, so keeping it moisturized is non-negotiable. Not just any lotion will do—you need products that soothe, restore, and support healing.
✅ My go-to recommendation:
Honey Cerate Cream (Kshs. 1,000)
Made with skin-loving ingredients, this cream is rich in natural humectants and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps restore the skin’s barrier and gives lasting hydration without the sting. Perfect for babies, kids, and adults.
2. Cleanse Without Stripping
Harsh soaps can make eczema worse. If your soap leaves your skin feeling tight or burning—you need to switch, fast.
✅ Try this instead:
Eczema Control Soap (Kshs. 400 for 100g)
Gentle, non-drying, and enriched with soothing botanicals that clean without causing micro-tears or aggravation.
3. Support Your Immune System
Eczema is closely linked to the immune system. A strong internal defense helps reduce frequency and intensity of flare-ups.
✅ Add a daily immune-supporting supplement:
Propolis 300g (Kshs. 1,150)
Known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, propolis can help calm the overreactive immune response linked to eczema. It’s a game-changer for many clients.
4. Check the Diet – You Might Be Feeding the Flare
Certain foods might be quietly triggering your symptoms. Dairy, processed sugar, eggs, and wheat are common culprits—but everyone is different.
🍽️ That’s why I offer dietary consultations (Kshs. 3,000) to help identify or rule out food sensitivities and recommend eczema-friendly diets that reduce inflammation and promote healing.
This is especially helpful for parents of kids with recurring flare-ups that don’t seem to respond to creams alone.
