National Eczema Week starts today (14 - 22 September), there will be events held across the country by the National Eczema Society. The statistics are 

1 in 5 children and 1 in 12 adults suffer from eczema
Eczema affects 10% (approx. 6 million) people throughout the UK
Eczema affects 20% of babies in the first year of their life

The National Eczema Society has a Helpline is anyone is looking for advice 0800 089 1122.

As you all know I have had eczema on and off over the years since I was a baby. My eczema has been linked to allergies so it makes sense that certain ingredients will flare up my skin. The last time I used a prescribed eczema product (emollient or steroid) was around 1998. Last year I wrote about eczema products that may help. Since I wrote it I could add a few more to the list so definitely have a look through my Eczema page (link under my header). I have also written up my Eczema Tips, what I do to try and manage my skin flare ups

I have been asked to co host (with @hopesreliefuk) a twitter chat for Eczema Week on the 17th September at 8pm. We will be using the hashtag #eczemachat. Hopefully, we can gather together and discuss our eczema woes and help each other deal with our skin.

Essential Care have invited me to join in with a live Twitter chat to mark their tenth anniversary. Essential Care is an award winning Organic brand and I have reviewed their Gentle Herb Shampoo and Creamy Coconut Cleanser, both are firm favourites for me. 

One of Essential Care’s great passions is education about the Organic Beauty industry. Understanding what makes organic beauty ‘organic’ can be confusing for consumers. The aim of the chat is to allow anyone with a passion for beauty to ask questions and learn about what goes into Organic beauty and skincare products. I am delighted that Essential Care asked me to participate in the chat. I hope to share with you my personal experience and understanding of sensitive skin and allergy safe beauty products. Essential Care do not wish for the chat to be a branded event. The focus is on empowering anyone who works in the beauty industry to understand Organic and share that knowledge with readers and customers. 

The Twitter chat is taking place on 10th July at 7pm (GMT), using the hashtag #WHATSORGANIC - I hope you will join us :-)
