While the exact cause of skin conditions such as eczema is largely unknown, it is generally believed that a combination of both genetic pre-disposition and environmental factors play a role. The sad reality of this is that parents who have suffered with sensitive and eczema prone skin, often go on to have children with similar skin issues, adding to the stress and anxiety of the already hectic new role of parenthood. That’s why we have collaborated with Childs Farm to bring you a webinar with Dr Jennifer Crawley, full of useful information about the causes of sensitive and eczema prone skin as well as hints and tips on how you can look after you and your little one’s skin.
