Nevertheless, HOW ARE YOU?💙⬇️
We’ve decided to follow in the footsteps of our friends at @changingfacesuk / @samaritanscharity and come together to MYTH BUST.
Let’s stop this myth about Monday being ‘blue’ and instead start a conversation over a brew OR as we like to say have a good old #ItchNbitchSesh
“Brew Monday”, encourages people to brew a cup of coffee or tea and have a talk with someone. Today, I am deciding to share these tips for your to help yourself or others through their skin struggles;
I UNDERSTAND that sometimes the hardest thing to wear is our own skin.
REMINDER: One of the best ways to care for your eczema isn’t your physical skincare routine.
It’s your mental health care. It’s about knowing you’re not alone.

✨If you’re feeling overwhelmed why not try writing a ‘dear eczema’ letter to help you address/open up about how you are feeling, this can be something you share or simply write to express privately. Read the blog @nationaleczema did on it to help you get started!
✨Check out the blog I wrote called ‘SKIN CONDITION support and self-help Resources’ – whilst talking to others can help, there comes a point where you may feel you want to have help learning coping mechanisms for anxiety or the ups and downs of living with eczema. This blog has a list of charities/ resources that can help!
✨Take time to relax and de-stress: my biggest advice is to treat flares like you would treat a bad mental health day. Self-care is key, maybe buy yourself your fave snacks, run an oat/ sea salt bath and help yourself / a loved one recenter your mind. Also, I’d suggest dates/catch-ups in the comfort of their home if their feeling particularly self-conscious. it’s about making sure you take time for self-care! As those first few days of a flare can be really mentally draining!
REMINDER: @itch_n_bitch is a safe space where you can come and ask for advice or meet & make friends with people who simply get the daily struggle of our skin.
BIG LOVE AND VIRTUAL HUGS,
