When my friends complain about their dry skin, I can’t help but cringe—because as someone with eczema, I know more about dry itchy skin than anyone could possibly want.
I’ve had eczema my whole life.
No matter what age, what time of year, and—up until now—what remedy I've tried, my skin is prone to breaking out in a red, itchy, flaky rash.
I've had it on my legs, my arms, and even my face. It’s been a painful experience for me, and the only thing worse than the rash itself is the shame and embarrassment I feel about it.
I've had flare-ups that were so bad I called in sick to work because I was too embarrassed to be seen in public. On days like those I wouldn't even want to look in the mirror.
I've seen more specialists than I can count. The steroid creams they prescribed did help, but once I learned about the side effects, especially the Red Skin Syndrome that can happen when you stop using them, I knew I didn't want to go that route long term. I've tried UVB phototherapy with some success, but it's expensive and my insurance doesn't cover it. It's just not a reasonable option for me.
It was actually my boss who told me about this new itch relief cream called Soothe My Skin by Emu Joy.
She told me that her brother's baby had been suffering from pretty bad eczema on his cheeks before they started treating him with Soothe My Skin. Her brother said that the redness started going away almost overnight, and within 2 weeks his rash was completely gone. It even cleared up his diaper rash too.
Honestly, I didn't want to get my hopes up about this new cream, since all the over-the-counter products I've tried before to heal my eczema haven't done much. But I figured that if Soothe My Skin could do such a great job on a baby's skin, then maybe it would work for mine too. I ordered a jar, and as soon as it arrived, I began applying it to the rash on my arms and hands.
Within three days the difference was noticeable. I couldn't believe it. I actually woke up on the third morning and cried when I saw my skin--it looked better than it had in months! The redness went away after a couple more days, and within three weeks my ugly flaky rash was completely gone.
I had to know why this cream worked so well, so I did a little more research. It turns out that Banish My Rash contains 30% emu oil, plus a whole list of botanical ingredients that are known to be excellent skin soothers. But it's the emu oil that makes all the difference, because it's the only oil that can absorb through all 7 layers of the skin, and it brings the other ingredients in with it.
Miracle cream! My three year old suffers from eczema on his face (only his face...why his face?!). He is extremely fair skinned, and super sensitive. SOOTHE MY SKIN made all the difference. His flare up was immediately relieved and has stayed at bay. Thank you!
Now it's easy to be prepared for life's little emergencies. The pocket size On The Go Skin Soother Stick is the perfect multi-tasking first aid stick.
Not only does this versatile balm offer a convenient alternative to relieve many different conditions in a lipstick size, non-messy stick, but it also utilizes the healing power of PURE EMU OIL that has been used for millennia for inflammation, irritation, itch, and pain.
