That’s right. If you have allergies, then you and your children have a higher propensity to develop asthma and eczema.
I was 15 when I thought I was having an allergic reaction to an eye cream. I stopped using it and it when away; so I assumed it really was the eye cream.
Eventually it came back. And it started to spread to my eyelid. So I stopped using the eyeshadow base. Must be that too, right? Nope. It was the beginning stages of eczema….. and truthfully the continuation of more autoimmune issues for me. I grew up with multiple allergies and bronchial asthma. .Although my asthma could be triggered by allergy, exercise, emotions, when it was under control, what I called those pesky allergic reactions would express themselves in other forms, like rashes, hives and eczema.
You see, Eczema starts in the GUT. It’s notarially a skin problem, it’s a gut problem. By the time a problem shows up on your skin, you’ve had an imbalance in your gut for a while. (Oh if I only knew then what I know now!)
Are you one who has “sensitive skin”? Then stay tuned for next Friday’s post to learn more on what you can do to get in front of it!
