Eczema is the more common name for a skin condition called atopic dermatitis. It's a common type of skin condition that can be quite uncomfortable depending on how severe it is. Fanning's low-key post is a very chill way of shining a light on the condition (skin positivity, y'all!). We love.
While her eyelids probably conjure up memories of discomfort for eczema sufferers, her post is a nice way to demonstrate being comfortable in your skin even if you're experiencing a flare-up. In the photos, she wears her golden blonde hair in a relaxed half-up half-down style, as well as a couple of pieces of minimal gold jewelry.
Eczema can be caused by a bunch of different things: stress, cold weather, the sun and it often requires using gentler products made for sensitive skin. If you've spotted similar patches of irritation on yourself, heading to your GP or a dermatologist for some treatment options might be a good shout!
In the meantime, we're inspired by Fanning to try to make jokes or make peace with our skin troubles.Â
