My guest today is not only a Vice President at Goldman Sachs but a wellness and skincare influencer that creates content focussed on relationships/mental health/chronic illnesses/ personal struggles. Lydia had never suffered from eczema as a child but between 2014-2016 after a series of big lifestyle changes (including a new graduate job, new relationship, new house, lots of stress and no control) her skin took a quick downward spiral. In February 2016, she found herself on the verge of a mental breakdown through burnout and ‘life-limiting’ eczema.

After posting about her experiences online she quickly gained a following and positive comments for finally having open and honest conversations around eczema and skin issues generally. From there she created her website https://www.itchie-scratchie.com/ to blog about her personal journey using her experiences to share helpful tips about how to maintain healthy skin and have a balanced life.

You can follow Lydia - @lydslife she's always posting really helpful skincare tips and products for those with sensitive skin!
