Makeup and Skincare Tips for Eczema Flare-Up

Eczema queens? If you're the eczema queen, then I'm the eczema princess. Go ahead. I'm much older than you. Okay. Hey everyone, I'm Ayesha. And I'm Hope. And today we're gonna be talking about eczema. Yes, yes. I recently had a flare up. I just have some questions. Yeah, as we were chatting, we kind of realized we both had similar but very different issues with our eczema. I think we get it in different places. Yeah. So today we're gonna be talking about some of our favorite tips combined on how we look really polished when we're having a flare up. So anybody who has eczema, rosacea, any kind of skin condition where your skin gets tight and dry, they already have a favorite moisturizer. Yes. So go ahead and use whatever you love, but something you can add to your routine. Tower 28 SOS Spray. It has hypochlorous acid and water. I even use this on my baby's butt when he gets a dead brush. That's how soothing it is. It's certified by the National Eczema Association. So that was like enough right there. And it's definitely been a part of my routine ever since. So use it before, and use it continuously throughout the day when you have a flare up. Oh, so more than once. So before you put on your moisturizer, any other skincare, and then I like to have the little baby one here. That's what I have here. Throw this in my bag, and just kind of spritz throughout the day. We're gonna go ahead and do this. That feels so good. It's amazing. Anybody who's ever told me about this, they absolutely love it. Okay, so when I have a breakout, Maisha, I like to use a concealer, but I go easy on the foundation, or I skip it all together, because I don't want to highlight that texture, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like very hard to get away from the texture. So the best bet is using something hydrating, like we have the Say Concealer here that is nice and hydrating, and using a little teensy, teensy bit. Don't use a lot. The more you put on, the more texture you may see. So I'm just gonna get a little bit in the back of my sanitized hand. And I'm actually using an eyeshadow brush. This is the Pro Crease Brush, number 26. Because it's fluffy, it'll kind of glide over any texture. Hope doesn't really have anything going on around her eyes, but I tend to get that really badly around my eyes, where it just looks really crepey and dry. And I find, too, by using an eyeshadow brush, it kind of wicks away a little bit of moisture from the product, so I don't really have to use powder, because powder is another thing that's gonna make me look a little bit drier. Yeah, I think for me, when I have a breakout, I wanna work with my skin. I don't wanna work against it, the eczema breakout. And sometimes it's about choice. You might not be able to wear the exact same thing you wear every day and have it look the way you expect it to look. But just kind of touching up here and there, bringing out some of the redness, a little bit of the pigmentation, is usually enough just to make you look nice and bright. All right, so we've applied concealer lightly, kind of buffed it into that moisturizer. It looks great. And now we're gonna be talking about blush. Blush is not something you really think about when you have eczema. I think some people are like, what? But dead skin cells are not the same color as your skin. They're like this white, translucent color. Yeah, they look ashy. Yeah, and when they build up, especially on a deeper skin tone, they just look gray and you just look washed out. Sometimes you just need a mood boost. Yes. When you have a breakout. Bring it back to my face. Yeah, so you need a little bit of blush. And sometimes if your cheeks are flared up, you need a cream blush that is nice and just smooth. So this is from Rare Beauty. A little goes a long way. I think these have been around longer. So we all know that. I like to put a little bit on the back of my hand. That's enough for like the whole week. And I take a brush and just work a little bit into the brush. If you have any redness associated with your skin condition, maybe you have a little bit of rosacea, you just wanna be a little bit lighter with this and kind of work with the flush. Yeah. Sometimes my breakouts are red. So it's nice to like kind of even out the redness, if that makes sense. Yeah, work with it. This is where you had a little bit of your redness. So we're kind of working with it. We don't wanna over-blush you where it looks obvious. But yeah, just adding a little bit more because as the day goes on and your concealer kind of wears away, you also want your flush to kind of work for you. Yeah, so this cheek was actually like more red than this one. So it's like sometimes you have to even it out, use less product on one cheek and vice versa. Yeah, for sure. So the next thing I wanna talk about is eye makeup. I've had lots of times where I've had like a week long, two week long flare up. Back when I used to work in store, especially wearing makeup all the time. Or even like when we were filming at home and I had to wear eye shadow. And I just find a creamy eye shadow works so well. And it's almost like kind of glitter fixes everything. You hear people say that. A shimmery one also kind of diffuses because I get this like almost like alligator skin texture around my eyes when it happens. So I really love the Charlotte Tilbury. So this isn't a shade champagne. Oh, that's so pretty. So, so pretty. Yeah. It just like adheres to the eye really well. It kind of takes the place of an eye primer too. I think we should put glitter fixes everything. Glitter fixes everything. On a poster. On a t-shirt, a poster. In my kitchen. So I'm gonna use the same brush I used for the concealer. And we're just gonna add a little bit on the lid. It just gives a little bit of softness. Not, you know, super necessary. But I always found that I just wanted to disguise that textured skin I had on my eyelid during a flare up. And I don't really get flare ups on my eyes. But sometimes I wanna bring the focus somewhere else. Somewhere else, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like don't look at my cheeks. Don't look at my chin. And then on the flip side, sometimes I would get sort of swelling because of my eczema. And I would do the opposite. I would do a deeper color. And more of like a satin finish. Cause that would kind of take it down a little bit. And then I wear my glasses and all kinds of little tricks. There's a science to this. All kinds of little things. But that looks really pretty. It looks like skin. It's gonna act like a highlighter. Like a face highlighter. But it's gonna stay put and lock down all day. So it's not gonna go anywhere. So lastly, I feel like, oh my God, there's nothing worse than like chapped lips when you have a flare up. Don't talk to me about chapped lips. Do not. They're just like next level dry. So obviously skip the matte anything. Like just don't do it. And just invest in a lip oil or lip balm or lip mask or something. We have the House Lab one right here. I went with this peachy shade to kind of go with the blush. But it's just gonna be hydrating. Again, like the Tower 28 Mini. Just keep this with you and just put it on. Yeah. All day. And honestly, if Lady Gaga makes it. True. I'm gonna get it. It's gotta be good. It has a very slight tint. And I like lip oils because again, same concept, it's shiny. If you have any texture going on, it kind of diffuses. You can't really see what's going on. And adding that little bit of color. Because like the cheeks, kind of like all the color leaves my lips. They kind of turn a little bit grayish, washed out. So it just adds a little bit of something. Mm. How do I look? You look great. Glowy and ethereal. No flare ups. I need a mirror. You want to see? Yeah. Let's see. Okay. Look pretty. Oh yes. Again, we worked with the skin. I feel like you're gonna have to start wearing the eye color. It's very pretty. It's very, it's giving glow. Lots of glow. Oh, and I'm hydrated. Like it's, this would not, if I were having like a dry patch outbreak, it would not highlight anything. You feel comfortable, it's flexible. You still look really glowy. Yeah. Flushed. Hopefully these tips help you. If you're having a flare up, you don't have to hide inside your house. Like, you know, I used to do that all the time. Avoid things, but you can definitely look amazing and feel amazing. Go ahead and check out these products. Shop the shelf below and we'll see you next time. Bye. I'm taking this one. Bye. Go ahead.
