When it comes to pesky skin conditions like eczema, they can ruin anyone’s day. Millions of people suffer from chronic skin issues on a daily basis. Unfortunately, research tries to argue that Black people suffer the most from eczema and other skin issues. 

Making matters worse, some individuals spend years suffering from the disease. It can be difficult to find the right treatment and doctor. Though, Essence Editor Dominique Fluker, who suffers from eczema, was at the right place, at the right time after receiving an exclusive invitation to try out a new skin health experience. 

More specifically, Fluker was invited to West Hollywood’s newest wellness club, Remedy Place, to try out their first-ever ice bath. Furthermore, the wellness club shares a partnership with skincare giant Murad, who recently unveiled a skincare line as well. It certainly left Fluker a very satisfied participant.
