The Jonas household is a sensitive skin household. And I know from my own experience with eczema that we can’t always control flare-ups. What I can control, however, is finding little ways to integrate skin-friendly habits into my family’s routines to help manage life with sensitive skin. This Eczema Awareness Month, I teamed up with the all® free clear brand to share skin-friendly habits to help keep the whole family (and our skin!) happy.
Whether at school, on stage or at home, we love having fun with fashion. We try to choose breathable fabrics that are more friendly to our skin so we can look and feel our best, avoiding rough materials that can be irritating.
Something that people may not realize is that skin care starts in the laundry room. What we wash touches our skin all day, every day – from clothes to bed linens – so choosing the right detergent matters, especially for those with eczema or sensitive skin. That’s why my family and I reach for all® free clear detergent. It is 100% free from dyes and fragrance found in regular scented detergents, and provides an effective, skin-friendly clean.
Obviously, we’re a big music family. So, when we’re feeling overwhelmed, we love to turn on music to relieve some stress. Since stress can trigger flare-ups, music is a great tool to decompress with something soothing…or even a dance party!
The air temperature, especially on extremely cold or hot days, can impact our skin. Since we can’t control the weather, we ensure that our indoor air temperature is most suitable and comfortable for us. For our family, we like to keep the temperature mild – not too cold or hot. I also love using a humidifier to keep moisture in the air.
Our schedules can be jam packed, but we still value a good night’s rest. Get enough sleep to feel well-rested and be sure to wash sheets with all® free clear detergent that offers an effective clean that’s gentle on skin, because sensitive skin care happens while you dream as well!
