My eczema healing journey

For months, my skin was so dry and swollen, it was painful.

Of course, I know that eczema isn’t just topical…it has to be healed from the inside. And I knew this was triggered by something I ate (autoimmune sucks).
But usually until I was able to re-heal my gut, I could find ways to topically soothe my skin as it healed.

Not this time.
I tried everything. All of my tried and true holistic eczema relief remedies.

The list of things that didn’t work for me (and what finally did)

Primally Pure’s Soothing Serum and even Baby Balm had too many ingredients (even though they’re clean!) and irritated my skin.

Tamanu oil is known for its healing properties but it literally burned when applied.

Jojoba oil + Skin Support spray from Ion*Biome were the most helpful but didn’t really feel like it helped move the needle in giving my skin the extra protection + barrier it needed for recovery, especially in the winter.

Eczema Honey seemed to work magically and felt so so soothing - I thought I had found a cure. Technically you’re not supposed to use past 7 days so I discontinued use, only to have my eczema come back with a vengeance and didn’t work again when I tried to reintroduce 😭

I did a Manuka Honey face and neck mask which brought a ton of relief but wasn’t really practical for everyday.
And of course Lumebox Red Light Therapy was my constant companion to reduce inflammation.

Then, I tried Smear By Brit clean tallow whip.
I had heard great things from holistic people I trust, and felt desperate.
✅ clean, simple ingredients
✅ no essential oils / other fragrances
✅ safe for pregnancy

Y’all. This clean tallow whip is the real deal. I am literally OBSESSED and a forever fan of this product.
Immediate relief and soothing of my skin.
I noticed a HUGE improvement every day I used it. My skin was protected enough to heal AND it really helped reduce the pain, itching, and redness.

Now, I’m almost 2 months into using tallow everyday for my face, neck, and growing baby belly (no stretch marks!) Safe to say, I LOVE it and can’t live without it!

My new 2-step skin regimen is:
1. Spray Ion*Biome Skin Support. Wait for it to fully absorb/dry.
2. Apply a small glob of Smear By Brit’s Clean Tallow Whip on face + neck + belly

✨ 15/10 highly recommend ✨
