Whether it's about the growing pains of major life transitions or her health and wellness journey, Tia Mowry isn't one to shy away from keeping it real. In a recent interview with The Zoe Report, the actor opened up about living with eczema—a condition that has challenged her since childhood.


Partnering with AbbVie for the Eczema Experience, Tia shed light on her experience with the chronic skin condition affecting over 31 million people in the U.S. alone. She revealed that her symptoms were often dismissed and minimized, referred to as mere "sunspots" until she was formally diagnosed with eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, in her late 20s. "I wasn't diagnosed until I was like 26 or 27 years old, so I suffered in silence," Tia told the publication.

Reflecting on the "embarrassing flare-ups" she endured well into her 30s, Tia, now 46, emphasized that her approach to managing eczema is rooted in a harmonious blend of wellness, self-care, and mindful beauty practices.

Healthy Lifestyle = Healthy Skin

Tia admitted to TZR that she used to feel like the answer to healthier skin was all about her product line-up. Over the years, she's changed her tune and realized the importance of great skin being an inside job with a side of mindfulness practices.

"Stress and certain foods are triggers for me, so I’m doing things like meditating, journaling, and being mindful of what I eat — I think sometimes these things get overlooked," she shared. Another way she manages her stress levels is by "constantly listening to positive affirmations."

Drinking Her Water, Minding Her Biz

Water is the elixir of life and Tia swears by it to keep her skin on 10. "Drinking water to help flush out toxins has also been extremely beneficial for my skin," the reality star revealed.

Breaking Up With Harmful Personal Care Products

Tia has walked us through her 10-step everyday skincare routine in a 2023 Reel she shared on her Instagram. In her interview with The Zoe Report, the beauty founder touched on the importance of gravitating towards "less toxic" ingredient lists for the products that make it into her beauty routine when managing her eczema.

"Leaning more towards products, whether for my hair, body, or face, that are less toxic has been helpful for me."

Treating Her Skin to the Red Light Special

When it comes to at-home beauty treatments, red light therapy has become that girl. Celebs like Kelly Rowland and Halle Berry have sung its praises, and with good reason. In addition to benefits like boosting collagen and reducing inflammation, The Game alum is a fan of red light therapy because "it helps soothe my skin, leaving my complexion looking more even and radiant."

Lift, Sculpt, and Repeat 

Flawless skin aside, the actor has let it be known that she likes to embrace aging. In her 40s, she is all about keeping things as natural as possible but did share a couple of her skin tightening and sculpting techniques. Tia told the publication that she loves to ice her face with DIY green tea ice cubes and that she does gua sha too.
