Eczema is more than just a skin condition—it’s a daily challenge that can be physically uncomfortable, emotionally draining, and deeply frustrating. As someone who has navigated this journey both professionally and personally, I understand the impact eczema can have on quality of life.

Through my experience as a compounding pharmacist and the founder of Kosmatology, I’ve dedicated my work to helping people manage eczema naturally. But beyond skincare, understanding stress as a trigger is crucial to breaking the cycle of flare-ups.

Dry skin can be a nuisance, but with the right care and attention, it’s manageable. By understanding the causes and implementing a skincare routine that focuses on hydration and protection, you can keep your skin soft, smooth, and healthy. Remember, consistency is key – the more diligent you are in caring for your skin, the better your results will be.

Your skin is your body's largest organ, and its outermost layer, known as the skin barrier, plays a crucial role in protecting you from external aggressors. This barrier, also called the stratum corneum, is your skin’s first line of defense against environmental pollutants, UV radiation, and harmful microorganisms. It also helps retain moisture, keeping your skin hydrated and healthy. When the skin barrier is compromised, you may experience dryness, irritation, and increased sensitivity. Therefore, maintaining and repairing the skin's natural barrier is essential for overall skin health.
