Jessica Simpson talks about her struggle with eczema on Instagram

Jessica Simpson looked like a blonde pinup in a new photo posted for her 5.6M Instagram followers on Thursday.

The 40-year-old singer turned fashion designer wore a beige cardigan with skinny jeans as she flashed a radiant smile while cuddled up on her sofa inside her Hidden Hills, California home.

‘Growing up, my nana taught me the importance of caring for my skin. Because I have eczema, it’s really important for me, especially during sweater weather,’ began the star who broke the news in August that she has suffered from eczema since she was a child.  

The frequent cover girl also wore a very large diamond ring on her right hand and a diamond eternity band on her wedding finger. Her nails were beautifully manicured.

The mother of three then said that the winter air can be a challenge.  

‘The cold, dry air and certain fabrics can be tough on my skin, so I like to moisturize regularly,’ said the Public Affair singer.

‘But sometimes, eczema flares still happen, so it’s important to understand your treatment options.’

She then plugged the product EUCRISA and noted the post was a paid advertisement.

The ex-wife of Nick Lachey said she uses the product ‘to treat my mild-to-moderate eczema.’

And the wife of Eric Johnson finished off with: ‘While your experience may be different, it really works for me—in any season!’  

In August she first talked about her struggle. 

In a sponsored post on her Instagram account for Eucrisa ointment, the star said: ‘For the first time, I’m sharing that I’ve had eczema since I was a kid.’

Jessica then plugged the cream she has used to get over a recent flare-up, adding: ‘After a recent eczema flare, I decided to talk to my doctor and was prescribed EUCRISA.’ 

In her caption, Simpson goes into details about her experience with Eczema as she endorses her new partnership with Eucrisa – a prescription ointment used to treat the skin condition.   

‘Full Rx Info @eucrisa_pi. Full Safety Info below #PfizerAd.’

She added: ‘While your experience may be different, EUCRISA really works for me. That’s why I’m excited to partner with Pfizer, the makers of EUCRISA for mild-to-moderate eczema—to help inspire others with eczema to have the #EczemaConversation with their doctors like I did. 

She finishes the post opening up the conversation to her fans, writing: 

‘You can get involved by sharing #EczemaConversation in your own way on your social media. If you or your little one have eczema, ask your doctor if EUCRISA could be right for you.’

Simpson goes on to list the important safety information for Eucrisa and its’ parent company Pfizer on the bottom of her post.  

Though, Eczema is a common skin condition that affects all ages and more than 10% of the US population – causing skin to become red and itchy – this is the first time Simpson has spoken out about having any sort of skin problems at all, detailing that she has struggled with the skin condition since she was a child.

Last year Simpson – the mother of three children, Birdie-Mae, aged one, Ace, seven, and Maxwell, eight, – was publicly candid about her struggle to lose weight, something she has now overcome after struggling for years. 

She talked about her challenges in the best-selling Open Book.
