Relief for troubled skin
This morning, I was watching the news and saw a commercial for Dupixent for eczema and sin rash. Most of the people in the commercial were kids, aged 12 or younger. I understand when your kids are suffering, you ache for them to feel better — often medication like Dupixent is prescribed.
For myself, I found an alternative doe my eczema with a few simple changes to products tI use everyday with no new hit to my budget.
These two products — Melapower Detergent and Renew Lotio — from the online Wellness shopping club where I shop monthly have made a difference for me and I no longer use Dupixent. My eczema has been alleviated with this laundry detergent and this skin lotion. Neither contains formaldehyde, parabens, chlorine bleach or other chemicals..I do think it’s important to get chemicals out of your home. What we breathe and what we apply to our skin is important. I’ve personally seen the difference.
Bringing my skin back to normalcy
Having suffered from eczema on and off over the years, I’ve been to allergists, dermatologists and immune specialists countless times. I’ve been on steroids, steroidal creams, various topicals meds and eleven cortisone shots! Then of course there were always the medical co-pays for both the visit and the medical “solution” that didn’t always work. At best most provided temporary relief.
Today, it’s so much simpler, I use this natural shampoo regularly and especially when eczema breaks out on my scalp. It keeps my skin under control.
For the rest of my body, I use this lotion or cream every day. It has really helped improve my skin over the years. It’s been a godsend (and a lot less expensive too!)
Being Frugal
Who else here is frugal?
I sure am! I cut open bottles to get every last drop.
This lotion took me a year to use up because I bought two—one for upstairs and one for downstairs. It’s great for eczema and rosacea, but I just love that it keeps my hands soft even after washing, and it kills germs with just one application.

SOME “SECRET” TIPS FOR YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN!
I’ve been in the Wellness Industry for almost 20 years, but before that, I was in the Beauty Industry for 16 years. Believe it or not, the two industries are incredibly related! When you take the steps to living a healthy life every day, the results show on your skin.
Many women have the goal to look as young as they can for as long as they can, and while I always maintain that feeling and looking younger starts from the inside, we still need to take care of our skin on the outside. So many people want quick, easy answers to looking younger. Unfortunately, there is no “secret” or simple trick. But here are some simple steps to follow that can help you have younger looking skin!
AM Routine
- Cleanse. I use a Vitamin C Cleanser because that vitamin C and Citric Acid help with age spots, discoloration and dull skin (something that happens as we age.
- Tone. Toning is critical because all cleansers (even a bar of soap) changes your PH balance. Toners bring your skin back to its ph balance. I use one that I can spray on so it’s super easy and refreshing.
- Serum. Serums can do a variety of things: refine skin texture, reduce fine lines and boost moisture levels to plump aging skin. Personally I rotate a variety of serums to counteract the aging process.
- Moisturize. Don’t take this step for granted. Again, I rotate these but my favorite has prebiotics and probiotics to help to help fight free radicals that cause damage.
- Eye serum. The area around our eyes is very delicate. One of my favorite eye serums has Bakuchiol as one of the ingredients. Bakuchiol has been scientifically researched to significantly improve collagen production.
- Sunscreen. Sunscreen should be a SEPARATE STEP from skincare and kept out of your moisturizers and foundations. When manufacturers add sunscreen to those products, they have to remove certain ingredients that we NEED because these ingredients, when combined, cancel each other out.
PM Routine
Your PM routine is CRITICAL because that’s when your skin repairs itself. First, do NOT sleep in your makeup!.
- Cleanse. A foaming cleanser is a great product to use at night because the emollients will help to cut through the extra oil and makeup from the day!
- Tone. Toning is critical because all cleansers (even a bar of soap) changes your PH balance. Toners bring your skin back to its ph balance. I recommend using one that can be sprayed on so it’s super easy and refreshing.
- Serum. As stated before, serums can do refine skin texture, reduce fine lines and boost moisture levels to plump aging skin. It’s often a good idea to rotate a variety of serums to counteract the aging process.
- Moisturize. I can’t say enough about moisturizing your skin! It is fundamental. I recommend using a heavier moisturizer at night since the skin is at rest and can benefit from the extra attention.
- Eye cream. Since the skin around the eyes is probably the thinnest skin on the body. It’s often a good idea to use an eye serum followed by a heavier eye cream at night.
Consistency is key in all things, and skin care is no different. But shop carefully. Department store brands charge so much more because of expensive packaging, advertising and endorsements. Those add-ons do not make your products work any better!
The Heat is on!
How safe and effective is your sunscreen?
Did you know that not all sunscreens are created equal?
Here’s why I only buy from the the Wellness Store:
It’s Made and Manufactured right here in the USA.
Why is a 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 good for you?
Mineral sunscreens don’t contain:
• harsh synthetic chemicals
• aren’t absorbed into your skin
• they’re safer for sensitive skin.
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that people with sensitive or acne-prone skin opt for mineral sunscreens.
So, if you’re looking for a sunscreen that is all-natural and/or reef-safe, mineral is the way to go. I know mine is safe, is yours?
