Hope you’re feeling better Soph. Don’t put your self down for feeling scared by your experience, suffering from something which you’ve never heard of before is scary and can be draining! You’re fabulous and your videos are always comforting for me to watch when I’m feeling anxious so we’re always here to listen for you too 💕
I’m so glad everyone is finally using shimmers in the crease! I have always done that but there was a point where everyone thought it was a mortal sin 😂 Soph’s here to show you how cool it looks lol
Hi Soph! I had the same thing a few years ago and it was really scary but my dermatologist told me it would clear on it’s own and it did! Hoping you have a speedy recovery too ❤
This happened to me Soph! Years ago - when I was a flight attendant for a few months, and I pinpointed it to my Flight Uniform! I’m so sorry. It really sucks and unfortunately will just go away on it’s own. It might be noteworthy to say that I hated the job and was really stressed out and unhappy. Once I re-aligned with my Dharma and made decisions for myself, it went away. Felt like the universe was helping to re-direct me. Love you!❤❤❤
I had a similar skin experience to this, had 3 biopsies and they didn't find anything, but the rash was covering nearly all of my stomach/sides/back/legs and my skin was literally flaking off it was awful! thankfully it's mostly cleared now😅. glad you're feeling a bit better, we missed you ❤ xx
There are several things I’ve needed to repurchase in my makeup collection after I’ve run out of them. But I have waited to buy until this video!! I knew I wanted to hear your favorites before I replaced some of my old makeup items. I’ve been looking to this video for ages. Thank you Soph 💕
I find with the plousie blushes you have to gently squeeze the air out, too hard and it pops 😅. Their bridal pallette is also gorgeous for a neutral lover. I'm obsessed with the curve case too, got mine £12 on black Friday and I would 100% buy it full price now
Same. I had it once after walking pneumonia and never again. My derm suggested switching to products for eczema treatment. Ultimately it took about three weeks total to clear up.
I've had it before too! I've had it a couple of times now and It did just go away eventually, I think I just had some emollient cream to put on it but it didn't help much. But it definitely made me feel really self conscious and fed up, so I feel for you 😞xx
i had it for the first time last year (altho i’m no stranger to random rashes and skin conditions lol) and it was so confusing!! the speed that it spread was crazy. I found taking an antihistamine helped a bit if there was any itching
I think I had the exact same rash too!! Just before Christmas! It came up when I researched it. Came on super quickly then faded slowly, was so itchy and annoying, I never get rashes! I got a mild cold a little bit after too!
Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better after your flare up, that sounds like it was really confronting! Wishing you all the best in your recovery. My makeup faves for the year, because you asked 😉 - Loungeface Mascara - Fenty Eze Drop Skin Tint - Hourglass single pan bronzer & holiday palette for blush - Flower beauty eyebrow pencil - Rare beauty lipliner in worthy - Laneige lip sleeping mask Wishing you a great 2024 ahead!
I don’t do a lot of makeup, but my favorite thing I bought the last year were Maybelline Lifter Gloss! Specifically the Gummy Bear shade. It feels so nice and it lasts and doesn’t dry out my lips after using it
I also have developed Pityriasis Rosea! I was feeling poorly around Christmas and ended up getting a rash that has spread like wildfire. Good thing that it's very common and goes away after 6-12 weeks and doesn't cause any serious side effects ☺️
i’ve had pityriasis rosea when i was younger and it was horrible, it knocked my self esteem massively. i believe i had it for around a month or two before it finally went away by itself and i haven’t had it since luckily. i hope you feel better soon x
My mom had the exact same thing happen to her on Christmas Day! She was ill for 1week and then on Xmas broke out with a rash- was rushed to the ER in the nik of time (as her throat started swelling) and then she tested positive for Covid. Not the first story I have heard of Covid being linked to a deadly rash. My mom made it to the ER just in time! This symptom/ side effect should be spoken about more. I hope you are feeling better Soph!
Omg Soph, I had this rash in 2017 and self diagnosed myself with it after the dr telling me it was a viral infection 🙄 I researched sooo much into it and had it for weeks. After finding out what it was I went to Holland and Barrett and got vitamin D tablets and I got a bath in tea tree oil. I then mixed coconut oil and almond oil and used that ad a moisturiser of a night on the rash before bed and it was gone within two weeks. Hope this helps. I know how you feel it’s awful as it come from no where xx
I have this! Never met anyone else that has this, mine was really bad with Covid but I normally get it with colds and flus. I find it makes you depressed but then totally fine again when it’s gone. So sorry you’ve developed it, it sucks. Hope you are keeping okay now 💕
I got Pityriasis earlier 2023, as well! If you have psoriasis in any capacity, you’re susceptible to the autoimmune response that causes pityriasis anytime your immune system is down. I had it after catching a viral respiratory infection, and the last spot didn’t clear for 2 months. Once the “heralds patch” heals, you’re in the clear!
I always write how much I like your videos, and I still do! Today’s video might be my favourite, because I really needed a calming, entertaining, funny ( is that fibers or just my eyelashes ) Soph video today. Sadly I had to have my beloved cat put down last week😭. It has been her & I together 24/7 minus perhaps 7 days for 10 years. I miss her so so much. So thank you for letting me not be thinking about her for 34 minutes. ♥️ ps your makeup looks absolutely amazing, purple is my favourite colour! 💜
I had an episode of pityriasis rosea this past spring after I had a bad cold. Mine started with a gnarly "mother patch" on my leg and then it erupted all over my trunk, neck, arms, and thighs. For the first two weeks, I had my pharmacy coworkers insist it was hives, but Benadryl wasn't doing anything. I managed to see my GP and she only identified it because she had had it when she was younger. I was given a prescription for a hydrocortisone cream for the particularly itchy spots, and also a 2-week course of Erythromycin antibiotic because there was some research data suggesting that it could reduce the healing time (left alone, it could take up to 6 months for some people). It took me about two months in total for the rash to complete subside. Sometimes, I can see the ghost of some of the patches (especially the mother patch) when I get cold or too hot. It was incredibly uncomfortable and it made me self-conscious when it spread to my neckline and arms where people could see it. Good news is that you usually only ever get it once in your lifetime. Seems to just be a weird immune reaction that the body can have.
I hope you're feeling better soon! I would love a recent every day makeup video - I go into the office to work every day and would love to find a nice everyday makeup routine to use! Elf lip oils are the best 👌🏼 constantly have one in my bag!
I literally have JUST got over pityriasis rosea and I felt the exact same. Mine was on the back of a viral cold. It got to the point, emotionally, where I was in tears looking at my body because it’s spread from just my chest to my entire body, scalp and everything. But I got prescribed some ointment and it left completely after 4 weeks. Hang in there soph, it’ll get better I promise🥰🥰
hi soph! id love to see a video where you compare elf products to what they're considered to be dupes of! their new liquid blushes look like rare beauty dupes, idk i think it could be cool
Hey Hope, I really hope you'll be fine soon. Wishing you the best for trying the wedding dresses, we love you and hope you find the perfect wedding dress soon!!!!! P.S. I was waiting eagerly for your video and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I’ve also had this Soph! It does go away on its own eventually. Nothing really helped me to get it to go away, it just took time and I’ve never had again since! Been 10+ years
Oh I had the same rash you had… but was told it was a type of fungus. But funnily enough, it comes back when I’m stressed/ran down. What really helps is to wash with Nizoral shampoo every so often. Sending you a big healing hug. Enjoy the wedding dress shopping! So exiting!!! By the way, there’s a Pronuptia in Paris, near the church called La Madeleine. The dresses are STUNNING and way cheaper than in the UK (well they were when I got married) - It’s a great day trip to do with your girls coz it only takes 1.5h to get there on the Eurostar.
Hi Soph, I have something similar. Mine is womanly area, and my inner thighs. I can sympathize with how it just burns and how defeated you get when you can't find anything to stop it and it's just ever lasting. My initial flare up lasted 6 months of just agony, so I feel so much for you and how depressed and frustrated you must have been. What I find that helps, for me, is the Aveeno Eczema cream. Honestly it worked better for me than the prescription steroid cream the doctor gave me. So much so that I made it a daily staple and I find that it helps keep flare ups at bay. I still have a few patches here and there but nothing near like what it was. I came upon it completely by chance just by trial and error of trying anything that was for rashes or anything like that at the grocery store. It has honestly saved my life! With my Lichen scelerosis, same thing, it goes away on it's own and doctors don't know what causes it. I have recommended the cream to a bunch of friends now. Hopefully your rash clears up for you soon!
I take an Aveeno oatmeal bath every time I have a skin condition. I also use the Aveeno oatmeal bar soap. I learned about this from the pediatrician when my children had chicken pox.
I can totally relate to you I was diagnosed with the same thing when I was an early teen. I was advised to stay away from perfume based products for my skin as this can cause a flare up and honestly it has helped so much I haven't had a flare up since. I hope you feel better soon and it doesn't flare up again.
the elf grip primer and rare beauty highlighter have been in my favourites too, but the elf lip oils! they're just sooooo good. Jam session is my go to now, rose envy is stunning too.
I suffer with psoriasis and I completely get where you’re coming from it is so mentally draining! I had UV therapy at the hospital for mine, the waiting list is so long though so if I have a flare up these days I use the sun beds for a few minutes a week, it helps! Not sure if it’s the same for you, but could give it a try maybe! I hope it settles down soon! Love your videos xx
Pretty pretty pretty please can you do a bridal makeup tutorial?!? You have taught me everything i know about makeup and i want to do my own makeup for my wedding so any tips?!?
i had this last year, lasted about 2-3 months and then it just slowly started to fade away. i still have white scars everywhere from it but it’s not too noticeable. but don’t worry it will fade
You are THE BEST youtuber and influencer! It always feels like sitting down with a friend when listening to you. I admire your honesty and I think your honesty and good personality is what gonna make you last and be more successfull than ever! I enjoy your videos so much ♥️ Btw I recently started to put glitter on my whole lid like from my inner eye corner out to the crease and all the way up to my brows. That used to be a no no but I don’t care anymore, it looks cool and I love it! 😍
Hi Soph! I had this around 6 months ago! I agree with the struggles…but it will clear! Mine went away on its own after about 12 weeks! I also had the same panic as you! X sending hugs and love!
Oh I gosh I am so excited! I have been waiting for this post I can’t wait to watch the video and probably place a Sephora and/or Ulta after because of it.
I used to get a rash all over my body too, it literally went away like 7 years ago. But two years ago I developed the rash again. My dermatologist put me on Dupixent. She said it was some type of eczema. It’s a self injection every two weeks. It changes the game for me. No side effects & my rash has NEVER came back. I am so grateful for it.
Please do a brush video! That would be so helpful. I’ve been using my beauty blender so much I’ve forgotten what to use my brushes for 😅 Glad you’re feeling better! Happy New Year 🎉
my favs of 2023 have been the green elf power grip primer, the wetnwild incognito concealer, and the wetnwild photofocus setting powder. they have all been top tier for me for a while now
Bless you - I’m sorry to hear what has been happening with your skin. I discovered Made By Mitchell last year and I just love it! Can’t stop buying things. I also love that Elf primer too - the green and pink ones… Could you do a video on the new Made By Mitchell mini colour cases please?
I’ve been diagnosed twice with this - even though it’s not meant to come back!! I put mine down to stress but as you said there is no ‘cause’. Lack of research and information on the rash which is a pain but I got prescribed anti histamine as mine was itchy second time round and moisturiser. If went away on its own by I felt awful the first time I had it as it was summer and the rash was so harsh and big but all I can do is reassure you that it will go away xx
Every single time I get a severe infection, like bronchitis or strep throat, I always get a rash afterwards. It started when I was a child, and I’m 37 now. I also tend to get it around the holidays, probably because you’re exposed to more people than normal? Who knows?!? My pediatrician told me to try hot baths when I was younger and that is still what I do. It seems counterintuitive for a rash or a hive like reaction, but it has always worked for me to help with the swelling of the patches and itching. Best of luck. 🤞
I had similar issue went to emergency room 2 times saw 3 telehealth/video, called my primary and ultimately a dermatologist. Other drs all prescribed steroids and a cream…nothing worked. It was itchy painful and the only thing that would help was cold baths with cold towels with ice all over my body. Dermatologist said for me to take 2 Zyrtec pills everyday and increase when they pop up worse. She said that there’s no reason maybe stress. I’ve been taking the Zyrtec faithfully and when I’m brave I stop and within an hour they return. Good luck finding your remedy ❤
I had the same thing a few years ago! My whole body was covered like yours and then it just disappeared!! It scared me as it just turned up after I had the flu and really brought me down as I couldn’t bear looking at it! I promise it just goes away, it takes a while, mine took like 2 months but it does go
I’ve had that Soph, years ago. It was put down to stress in the end. I had to have sunbed sessions to stop it spreading which worked for me. I’ve never had it since thank goodness!! Sending love. Xxx
The annual and monthly makeup faves were always some of my favourite videos on your channel!! Can we PLEASE bring back monthly favourites??? They were so so good! I hope you're feeling better Soph and happy new year and take as much time as you need!!! And also here are some of my favourites fromthis year: Ilia limitless lash mascara, Sky high waterproof and the sky high primer, L'oreal telescopic (this one is my favourite mascara EVER), Dior face glow palette in 001, Anastasia Beverly Hills moonchild palette (this one is my absolute favourite highlighter pallete in the whole world), Fenty lip stain in berry banger, the romand&co lip stains and L'oreal matte resistance lipstick in road trippin', hope everyone has a nice year and can't wait to see your wedding Soph!!!
I had the same thing in aug 2020. It cleared completely by itself in about 4 weeks I think - and I say I think because it honestly just disappeared without me really thinking about it too much. My recommendations are to stop washing with a fragranced soap on the affected area and to wash with aqueous cream. It helps keep the area moisturised. I also applied aqueous cream 2 times a day on the affected regions
My husband had that too! The derm he saw in the urgent care said they only see one or two cases per year 🫤 it did just go away on its own in a few weeks, but oatmeal baths did help! This was a few years ago and luckily it has not returned, I hope it’s the same for you!
I had the same thing and was told it was likely caused by a virus/cold/flu I had prior to getting the rash - I saw a dermatologist who put together a treatment plan for me of different antihistamines which I then just cut down on over time as it improved - for some reason, my body was producing too much histamine. I also used Dermacool which was amazing for when it felt itchy so highly recommend that if you’re suffering from any itchiness (it has menthol in it so instantly soothes it). I then just used really gentle body wash and an emollient lotion/cream rather than a body lotion etc. until the rash disappeared. It did take a couple of weeks to go but it did clear up - hope your’s clears up soon!
Hi Soph! I had this. Yeah it's a viral rash mine lasted around 6 months. It can take anything from 3 months to about 9 months to fully go away. It starts by a herald spot normally behind the knee or in the elbow area and that herald spot is bigger than the other patches. I got it whilst it was summer in the hot weather which made it worse I had it everywhere I felt like ripping my skin off. How I coped was minimal clothes especially around the house, cool showers, been absolutely covered in chamomile lotion (not the cream version) and get yourself some e45 itch relief (has to say itch relief) and then it's just a case of getting through it. But don't stress it's nothing to worry about just a viral. A bit long of a comment but hope that helps. X
Hope you’re feeling better! I’ve had dermatitis and I get it really affects you! My favourites have been: LM foundation, tinted bronzer and highlight wand, LM blur powder, Hourglass vanish primer, Lancôme lash primer, Natasha denona palettes💛
A couple months ago i woke up with hives out of nowhere. They ended up disappearing after a week or so but i never got any diagnosis or anything and it was really upsetting as it wasnt triggered by anything and i have no idea what happened. All that to say i totally understand how that feels mentally and emotionally and im sry thats how ur year started
In the fall of 2019, a relative gave me mono (by dipping the ice scoop directly into her drink while she was ill). I developed a giant, very red, extremely itchy rash on the front of my neck soon after. I couldn’t wear necklaces, I couldn’t wear high neck shirts, scarfs, etc for almost four years. The rash went away after a few months, but the inability to wear anything touching it remained. In the last few months that part has gotten better (not gone though and I'm not pushing it). I went through dozens of lotions and creams - both meant for itch and just face/body formulas. The only thing that helped the extreme itching was the snail mucin 96 serum. I have the 92 cream and that didn’t help it. But two pumps of the serum slathered on my neck a few times a day helped me not scratch. Nobody ever gave my condition a name - I just call it “mono neck”. But I’m pretty sure you solved the mystery that my docs couldn’t! So thank you! I hope the snail serum helps you.
I get phorosis like that too mainly caused by being extremely hot in the summer or parts of my body being to exposed to the cold in winter it also follows my scratches if I accident get a scratch my joints sometimes and it just comes and goes
Hey soph - me and my friend both had pityriasis rosea a few times over lockdown, it’s so horrible. It will just go away by itself but i sped it up by moisturising every day with an unscented moisturiser, and my secret tip is a little bit of uv light on the bad areas, 20 sec with a gel nail lamp genuinely really helped, but obvs not too much that you tan lol. Hope you get better soon and that this helps a little :)
Hope you're feeling better soon! I love watching your videos!! I'm getting married in about 3 months and I'm watching a bunch of your videos to get products and inspiration! X❤
Hope you feel better Soph! Just to say I’ve had the same thing, really freaked me out and made me super itchy and uncomfortable! Lasted 5/6 weeks disappeared and I’ve never had it again since!
Hi Sophie, i had that last year and i got up on anti fungal tablets for 2 weeks and it cleared it right up. I was the same as you feeling ill before the rash appeared. Mine started on my arms and then went to my legs and before i knew it it was all over my body. I have not had it again since its been about 6 months and i have no marks left from where it was. Hope your getting better and its keeps clearing up :) love your videos been watching since i was like 15 i am not 23 hahaha xx
I had this in 2019 was told it can be brought on by stress, you start with a “herald patch” and it then very quickly spreads. Mine was full body, face included and it did go away by itself but it was about a month before i felt like i couldn’t see it. 4 years on and there isn’t a mark left but i was recommended to use Vitamin E help with an possibility of scaring. It was awful at the time especially the amount on my face, but really did go away and you would never know. Hope this helps x
Soph, you should definitely try some products from polish brands. I can state that polish cosmetics brands are one of the best on the market, I am not kidding. It will be really satisfying to see them on your channel :) I could give you a hand to choose best from the best :)
My 35 yr old daughter has the same skin condition, it does come and go of its own accord and it’s never done her any harm other than having the marks which she always referred to as her leopard spots xxx
I got the same skin issue a couple of months ago and i went through a couple of very stressful months trying to figure out what it was! Very scary! It did went away by itself eventually but it took a long time for me but it does goes away and it s nothing to worry! What helped me massively was the QV gentle wash the dermatologist told me to use and within a couple of weeks it was gone! It will go away :) Happy new year 🖤🖤
I developed pityriasis rosea on my arms when I was 9 and at the time, living in a small town, no one had any clue what it was. They tested me for strep and essentially just told my parents to watch the rash, which spread to my entire body, including my face. Thankfully it happened at the end of the school year so I wasn’t at school when it spread to my neck and face. It took about a full month to go away if I remember correctly, and even after that my skin was super sensitive for a while. Haven’t had it since then, thankfully!
Welcome back 2024 !!! I just would like to advise you nicely that don’t forget to do your hair line every time you do your makeup. Wishing everyone a good beginning to the year. 🎉
hi! i actually got the same skin condition from a throat infection a few years back. my patches went away after a couple of weeks, they suddenly just started healing up and i dont have any scarring. Hope this makes u feel a bit better!
I had it a pityriasis rosea a few years ago! Same thing, completely random. It went away by itself in about a month (they did give a shot for itchiness) and then I never had it again. My derm told me that usually once you get it you never get it again! And yes, they have no idea why people get it and no idea why you only get it once and never again.
I had that rash in college! It was awful! Thank goodness it was cold out and I could wear long sleeves. But yeah unfortunately nothing made it go away but time 😕 BUT I’ve had other rashes since then and tried applying straight tea tree oil and that has helped!
Omg Soph, I got the exact same thing around Christmas 2021! I was unwell just before the rash appeared, and I’m convinced I’d had COVID but not realised. I really sympathise with you, as the rash is so unpleasant to look at - mine didn’t itch, it just looked horrible and I felt so down with it, as my body was covered in it, to the point I even dreaded washing myself as it meant seeing the rash. I’m glad you’re feeling better. I slathered my body in Aveda and Oilatum products, and after several weeks the rash eventually vanished.
Happy New Year! My favourites for the 2023: lip product: korean - PERIPERA glow tints - HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you can get your hands on these - soft, light weight, they stain a bit which is kinda nice, does not stick at all and hydrate your lips like crazy, eyes: the loreal telescopic mascara (i used sky high for a very long time but telescopic made my lashes pop even more even tho it is a process to take it off xD), and GLAMINATRIX cosmetics fairy lights pallette... SO SO GOOD, those are only shimmers = very foily, STUNNING.
my bf had this during our summer trip. it was annoying and took a bit of a toll on us but it passed eventually. there usually is one bigger lesion where you can put some steroid, he did because it itched like hell and it helped a bit
I had a flare up of eczema after not having it since I was a baby all over my face. I understand the way it can affect your mental health as it’s so visible, I really struggled when broke out in it as it was so noticeable. But redness, rashes and eczema are so normal, I’ve come to realise❤
I was going to wear NARS on my wedding day too but my MUA recommended we try airbase makeup instead which is basically sprayed on the face and omg its fantastic, I'd recommend looking at that, my skin looked flawless and I couldn't even tell I was wearing it at all. :) hope the wedding planning is going well. I get married in May this year

Hope you’re feeling better Soph. Don’t put your self down for feeling scared by your experience, suffering from something which you’ve never heard of before is scary and can be draining! You’re fabulous and your videos are always comforting for me to watch when I’m feeling anxious so we’re always here to listen for you too 💕
So true!
I’m so glad everyone is finally using shimmers in the crease! I have always done that but there was a point where everyone thought it was a mortal sin 😂 Soph’s here to show you how cool it looks lol
I was thinking the same 😂
Yessss I've been doing it for years and it looks so pretty so glad it's finally trending
You suit the grungy look SO much!! Gives me 90’s grunge vibes, my fav 🤩
Hi Soph! I had the same thing a few years ago and it was really scary but my dermatologist told me it would clear on it’s own and it did! Hoping you have a speedy recovery too ❤
This happened to me Soph! Years ago - when I was a flight attendant for a few months, and I pinpointed it to my Flight Uniform! I’m so sorry. It really sucks and unfortunately will just go away on it’s own. It might be noteworthy to say that I hated the job and was really stressed out and unhappy. Once I re-aligned with my Dharma and made decisions for myself, it went away. Felt like the universe was helping to re-direct me. Love you!❤❤❤
I had a similar skin experience to this, had 3 biopsies and they didn't find anything, but the rash was covering nearly all of my stomach/sides/back/legs and my skin was literally flaking off it was awful! thankfully it's mostly cleared now😅. glad you're feeling a bit better, we missed you ❤ xx
This eyeshadow look is insane!🫶🏼🌸
There are several things I’ve needed to repurchase in my makeup collection after I’ve run out of them. But I have waited to buy until this video!! I knew I wanted to hear your favorites before I replaced some of my old makeup items. I’ve been looking to this video for ages. Thank you Soph 💕
I find with the plousie blushes you have to gently squeeze the air out, too hard and it pops 😅. Their bridal pallette is also gorgeous for a neutral lover. I'm obsessed with the curve case too, got mine £12 on black Friday and I would 100% buy it full price now
I had it years ago after a virus - it’s also known as the Christmas Tree Rash! Thankfully it does go away on its own and I’ve never had it again x
Same. I had it once after walking pneumonia and never again. My derm suggested switching to products for eczema treatment. Ultimately it took about three weeks total to clear up.

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better after your flare up, that sounds like it was really confronting! Wishing you all the best in your recovery.
My makeup faves for the year, because you asked 😉
- Loungeface Mascara
- Fenty Eze Drop Skin Tint
- Hourglass single pan bronzer & holiday palette for blush
- Flower beauty eyebrow pencil
- Rare beauty lipliner in worthy
- Laneige lip sleeping mask
Wishing you a great 2024 ahead!
I don’t do a lot of makeup, but my favorite thing I bought the last year were Maybelline Lifter Gloss! Specifically the Gummy Bear shade. It feels so nice and it lasts and doesn’t dry out my lips after using it
I also have developed Pityriasis Rosea! I was feeling poorly around Christmas and ended up getting a rash that has spread like wildfire. Good thing that it's very common and goes away after 6-12 weeks and doesn't cause any serious side effects ☺️
i’ve had pityriasis rosea when i was younger and it was horrible, it knocked my self esteem massively. i believe i had it for around a month or two before it finally went away by itself and i haven’t had it since luckily. i hope you feel better soon x
My mom had the exact same thing happen to her on Christmas Day! She was ill for 1week and then on Xmas broke out with a rash- was rushed to the ER in the nik of time (as her throat started swelling) and then she tested positive for Covid. Not the first story I have heard of Covid being linked to a deadly rash. My mom made it to the ER just in time! This symptom/ side effect should be spoken about more. I hope you are feeling better Soph!
Omg Soph, I had this rash in 2017 and self diagnosed myself with it after the dr telling me it was a viral infection 🙄 I researched sooo much into it and had it for weeks. After finding out what it was I went to Holland and Barrett and got vitamin D tablets and I got a bath in tea tree oil. I then mixed coconut oil and almond oil and used that ad a moisturiser of a night on the rash before bed and it was gone within two weeks. Hope this helps. I know how you feel it’s awful as it come from no where xx
I have this! Never met anyone else that has this, mine was really bad with Covid but I normally get it with colds and flus. I find it makes you depressed but then totally fine again when it’s gone. So sorry you’ve developed it, it sucks. Hope you are keeping okay now 💕
I got Pityriasis earlier 2023, as well! If you have psoriasis in any capacity, you’re susceptible to the autoimmune response that causes pityriasis anytime your immune system is down. I had it after catching a viral respiratory infection, and the last spot didn’t clear for 2 months. Once the “heralds patch” heals, you’re in the clear!
Thank you for being here for us in 2023 and I raise you a glass for an even better 2024!
I always write how much I like your videos, and I still do! Today’s video might be my favourite, because I really needed a calming, entertaining, funny ( is that fibers or just my eyelashes ) Soph video today. Sadly I had to have my beloved cat put down last week😭. It has been her & I together 24/7 minus perhaps 7 days for 10 years. I miss her so so much. So thank you for letting me not be thinking about her for 34 minutes. ♥️ ps your makeup looks absolutely amazing, purple is my favourite colour! 💜
rest in peace to your kitty
Those eyeshadows are P H E N O M E N A L ! Hope you’re feeling better x
Ohhhh soph! I hope you're okay and feeling better! So glad to see you're back though!! 🩷
My husband has pitoriasis rosea and something that clears it up faster is tanning. Like going to a tanning booth. The UVB light helps for some reason.
I’m happy that you feel better now Soph x ❤ sending all love and health to you x
I had an episode of pityriasis rosea this past spring after I had a bad cold. Mine started with a gnarly "mother patch" on my leg and then it erupted all over my trunk, neck, arms, and thighs. For the first two weeks, I had my pharmacy coworkers insist it was hives, but Benadryl wasn't doing anything. I managed to see my GP and she only identified it because she had had it when she was younger. I was given a prescription for a hydrocortisone cream for the particularly itchy spots, and also a 2-week course of Erythromycin antibiotic because there was some research data suggesting that it could reduce the healing time (left alone, it could take up to 6 months for some people). It took me about two months in total for the rash to complete subside. Sometimes, I can see the ghost of some of the patches (especially the mother patch) when I get cold or too hot. It was incredibly uncomfortable and it made me self-conscious when it spread to my neckline and arms where people could see it. Good news is that you usually only ever get it once in your lifetime. Seems to just be a weird immune reaction that the body can have.
I am OBSESSED with this eye look😍
I hope you're feeling better soon!
I would love a recent every day makeup video - I go into the office to work every day and would love to find a nice everyday makeup routine to use!
Elf lip oils are the best 👌🏼 constantly have one in my bag!
I literally have JUST got over pityriasis rosea and I felt the exact same. Mine was on the back of a viral cold. It got to the point, emotionally, where I was in tears looking at my body because it’s spread from just my chest to my entire body, scalp and everything. But I got prescribed some ointment and it left completely after 4 weeks. Hang in there soph, it’ll get better I promise🥰🥰
hi soph! id love to see a video where you compare elf products to what they're considered to be dupes of! their new liquid blushes look like rare beauty dupes, idk i think it could be cool
Hey Hope, I really hope you'll be fine soon. Wishing you the best for trying the wedding dresses, we love you and hope you find the perfect wedding dress soon!!!!! P.S. I was waiting eagerly for your video and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
THIS VIDEO WAS WHAT I NEEDED ❤ love you and your channel so much, I look forward to your videos so much, you’re my ray of sunshine ☀️ on UA-cam ❤
Hi, it would be cool if you did a video where you tried more Asian type makeup like more cool toned products!
I’ve also had this Soph! It does go away on its own eventually. Nothing really helped me to get it to go away, it just took time and I’ve never had again since! Been 10+ years
Oh I had the same rash you had… but was told it was a type of fungus. But funnily enough, it comes back when I’m stressed/ran down.
What really helps is to wash with Nizoral shampoo every so often. Sending you a big healing hug.
Enjoy the wedding dress shopping! So exiting!!! By the way, there’s a Pronuptia in Paris, near the church called La Madeleine. The dresses are STUNNING and way cheaper than in the UK (well they were when I got married) - It’s a great day trip to do with your girls coz it only takes 1.5h to get there on the Eurostar.
Hi Soph, I have something similar. Mine is womanly area, and my inner thighs. I can sympathize with how it just burns and how defeated you get when you can't find anything to stop it and it's just ever lasting. My initial flare up lasted 6 months of just agony, so I feel so much for you and how depressed and frustrated you must have been. What I find that helps, for me, is the Aveeno Eczema cream. Honestly it worked better for me than the prescription steroid cream the doctor gave me. So much so that I made it a daily staple and I find that it helps keep flare ups at bay. I still have a few patches here and there but nothing near like what it was. I came upon it completely by chance just by trial and error of trying anything that was for rashes or anything like that at the grocery store. It has honestly saved my life! With my Lichen scelerosis, same thing, it goes away on it's own and doctors don't know what causes it. I have recommended the cream to a bunch of friends now.
Hopefully your rash clears up for you soon!
I take an Aveeno oatmeal bath every time I have a skin condition. I also use the Aveeno oatmeal bar soap. I learned about this from the pediatrician when my children had chicken pox.
Would love a video of your top kissproof lipsticks! 💄 Especially ones you're considering for your wedding. 👰🏼♀️
I can totally relate to you I was diagnosed with the same thing when I was an early teen. I was advised to stay away from perfume based products for my skin as this can cause a flare up and honestly it has helped so much I haven't had a flare up since. I hope you feel better soon and it doesn't flare up again.
the elf grip primer and rare beauty highlighter have been in my favourites too, but the elf lip oils! they're just sooooo good. Jam session is my go to now, rose envy is stunning too.
Colloidal oatmeal bath. Aveeno is amazing for rashes
i had that same rash and the only thing that got rid of it was UV rays. so either the sun or tanning beds. it literally cured it!
I suffer with psoriasis and I completely get where you’re coming from it is so mentally draining! I had UV therapy at the hospital for mine, the waiting list is so long though so if I have a flare up these days I use the sun beds for a few minutes a week, it helps! Not sure if it’s the same for you, but could give it a try maybe! I hope it settles down soon! Love your videos xx
Love your videos! The names of the elf lip liners are on a small clear label on the top of the cap!!
Pretty pretty pretty please can you do a bridal makeup tutorial?!? You have taught me everything i know about makeup and i want to do my own makeup for my wedding so any tips?!?
i had this last year, lasted about 2-3 months and then it just slowly started to fade away. i still have white scars everywhere from it but it’s not too noticeable. but don’t worry it will fade
You are THE BEST youtuber and influencer! It always feels like sitting down with a friend when listening to you. I admire your honesty and I think your honesty and good personality is what gonna make you last and be more successfull than ever!
I enjoy your videos so much ♥️
Btw I recently started to put glitter on my whole lid like from my inner eye corner out to the crease and all the way up to my brows. That used to be a no no but I don’t care anymore, it looks cool and I love it! 😍
omg i had that rosea!!!! all over my arms & stomach. was never dry, itchy, or painful tho but went completely away in two weeks thankfully!! :))
Hi Soph! I had this around 6 months ago! I agree with the struggles…but it will clear! Mine went away on its own after about 12 weeks! I also had the same panic as you! X sending hugs and love!
Oh I gosh I am so excited! I have been waiting for this post I can’t wait to watch the video and probably place a Sephora and/or Ulta after because of it.
I used to get a rash all over my body too, it literally went away like 7 years ago. But two years ago I developed the rash again. My dermatologist put me on Dupixent. She said it was some type of eczema. It’s a self injection every two weeks. It changes the game for me. No side effects & my rash has NEVER came back. I am so grateful for it.
Please do a brush video! That would be so helpful. I’ve been using my beauty blender so much I’ve forgotten what to use my brushes for 😅
Glad you’re feeling better! Happy New Year 🎉
my favs of 2023 have been the green elf power grip primer, the wetnwild incognito concealer, and the wetnwild photofocus setting powder. they have all been top tier for me for a while now
Bless you - I’m sorry to hear what has been happening with your skin. I discovered Made By Mitchell last year and I just love it! Can’t stop buying things. I also love that Elf primer too - the green and pink ones… Could you do a video on the new Made By Mitchell mini colour cases please?
I’ve been diagnosed twice with this - even though it’s not meant to come back!! I put mine down to stress but as you said there is no ‘cause’. Lack of research and information on the rash which is a pain but I got prescribed anti histamine as mine was itchy second time round and moisturiser. If went away on its own by I felt awful the first time I had it as it was summer and the rash was so harsh and big but all I can do is reassure you that it will go away xx
Every single time I get a severe infection, like bronchitis or strep throat, I always get a rash afterwards. It started when I was a child, and I’m 37 now. I also tend to get it around the holidays, probably because you’re exposed to more people than normal? Who knows?!? My pediatrician told me to try hot baths when I was younger and that is still what I do. It seems counterintuitive for a rash or a hive like reaction, but it has always worked for me to help with the swelling of the patches and itching. Best of luck. 🤞
I had similar issue went to emergency room 2 times saw 3 telehealth/video, called my primary and ultimately a dermatologist. Other drs all prescribed steroids and a cream…nothing worked. It was itchy painful and the only thing that would help was cold baths with cold towels with ice all over my body. Dermatologist said for me to take 2 Zyrtec pills everyday and increase when they pop up worse. She said that there’s no reason maybe stress. I’ve been taking the Zyrtec faithfully and when I’m brave I stop and within an hour they return. Good luck finding your remedy ❤
I had the same thing a few years ago! My whole body was covered like yours and then it just disappeared!! It scared me as it just turned up after I had the flu and really brought me down as I couldn’t bear looking at it! I promise it just goes away, it takes a while, mine took like 2 months but it does go
I’ve had that Soph, years ago. It was put down to stress in the end. I had to have sunbed sessions to stop it spreading which worked for me. I’ve never had it since thank goodness!! Sending love. Xxx
The annual and monthly makeup faves were always some of my favourite videos on your channel!! Can we PLEASE bring back monthly favourites??? They were so so good! I hope you're feeling better Soph and happy new year and take as much time as you need!!! And also here are some of my favourites fromthis year: Ilia limitless lash mascara, Sky high waterproof and the sky high primer, L'oreal telescopic (this one is my favourite mascara EVER), Dior face glow palette in 001, Anastasia Beverly Hills moonchild palette (this one is my absolute favourite highlighter pallete in the whole world), Fenty lip stain in berry banger, the romand&co lip stains and L'oreal matte resistance lipstick in road trippin', hope everyone has a nice year and can't wait to see your wedding Soph!!!
I had the same thing in aug 2020. It cleared completely by itself in about 4 weeks I think - and I say I think because it honestly just disappeared without me really thinking about it too much. My recommendations are to stop washing with a fragranced soap on the affected area and to wash with aqueous cream. It helps keep the area moisturised. I also applied aqueous cream 2 times a day on the affected regions
I had pityriasis rosea I few years ago!! No tips I'm afraid, but the rash did eventually go away and didn't leave any scars :)
My husband had that too! The derm he saw in the urgent care said they only see one or two cases per year 🫤 it did just go away on its own in a few weeks, but oatmeal baths did help! This was a few years ago and luckily it has not returned, I hope it’s the same for you!
I had that!! I had them pop up all over too and it freaked me out! It just stopped disappearing. I used an antibiotic cream to help them
I had the same thing and was told it was likely caused by a virus/cold/flu I had prior to getting the rash - I saw a dermatologist who put together a treatment plan for me of different antihistamines which I then just cut down on over time as it improved - for some reason, my body was producing too much histamine. I also used Dermacool which was amazing for when it felt itchy so highly recommend that if you’re suffering from any itchiness (it has menthol in it so instantly soothes it). I then just used really gentle body wash and an emollient lotion/cream rather than a body lotion etc. until the rash disappeared. It did take a couple of weeks to go but it did clear up - hope your’s clears up soon!
I totally agree with you about the cream bronzer for Mua. I love this product. Love from Greece ❤️🙂.
Hi Soph! I had this. Yeah it's a viral rash mine lasted around 6 months. It can take anything from 3 months to about 9 months to fully go away. It starts by a herald spot normally behind the knee or in the elbow area and that herald spot is bigger than the other patches. I got it whilst it was summer in the hot weather which made it worse I had it everywhere I felt like ripping my skin off. How I coped was minimal clothes especially around the house, cool showers, been absolutely covered in chamomile lotion (not the cream version) and get yourself some e45 itch relief (has to say itch relief) and then it's just a case of getting through it. But don't stress it's nothing to worry about just a viral. A bit long of a comment but hope that helps. X
Hope you’re feeling better! I’ve had dermatitis and I get it really affects you! My favourites have been: LM foundation, tinted bronzer and highlight wand, LM blur powder, Hourglass vanish primer, Lancôme lash primer, Natasha denona palettes💛
I believe I might have this rash also. I had a sinus infection I still kind of do, but I have a weird rash on my neck. It is refusing to go away!
A couple months ago i woke up with hives out of nowhere. They ended up disappearing after a week or so but i never got any diagnosis or anything and it was really upsetting as it wasnt triggered by anything and i have no idea what happened.
All that to say i totally understand how that feels mentally and emotionally and im sry thats how ur year started
In the fall of 2019, a relative gave me mono (by dipping the ice scoop directly into her drink while she was ill). I developed a giant, very red, extremely itchy rash on the front of my neck soon after. I couldn’t wear necklaces, I couldn’t wear high neck shirts, scarfs, etc for almost four years. The rash went away after a few months, but the inability to wear anything touching it remained. In the last few months that part has gotten better (not gone though and I'm not pushing it). I went through dozens of lotions and creams - both meant for itch and just face/body formulas. The only thing that helped the extreme itching was the snail mucin 96 serum. I have the 92 cream and that didn’t help it. But two pumps of the serum slathered on my neck a few times a day helped me not scratch. Nobody ever gave my condition a name - I just call it “mono neck”. But I’m pretty sure you solved the mystery that my docs couldn’t! So thank you! I hope the snail serum helps you.
I get phorosis like that too mainly caused by being extremely hot in the summer or parts of my body being to exposed to the cold in winter it also follows my scratches if I accident get a scratch my joints sometimes and it just comes and goes
Hey soph - me and my friend both had pityriasis rosea a few times over lockdown, it’s so horrible. It will just go away by itself but i sped it up by moisturising every day with an unscented moisturiser, and my secret tip is a little bit of uv light on the bad areas, 20 sec with a gel nail lamp genuinely really helped, but obvs not too much that you tan lol. Hope you get better soon and that this helps a little :)
That eye look is fire 🔥
Hope you're feeling better soon!
I love watching your videos!! I'm getting married in about 3 months and I'm watching a bunch of your videos to get products and inspiration! X❤
Hope you feel better Soph! Just to say I’ve had the same thing, really freaked me out and made me super itchy and uncomfortable! Lasted 5/6 weeks disappeared and I’ve never had it again since!
The elf halo glow and a mac trio highlighting palette have being my favourites
Hi Sophie, i had that last year and i got up on anti fungal tablets for 2 weeks and it cleared it right up. I was the same as you feeling ill before the rash appeared. Mine started on my arms and then went to my legs and before i knew it it was all over my body. I have not had it again since its been about 6 months and i have no marks left from where it was. Hope your getting better and its keeps clearing up :) love your videos been watching since i was like 15 i am not 23 hahaha xx
I had this in 2019 was told it can be brought on by stress, you start with a “herald patch” and it then very quickly spreads. Mine was full body, face included and it did go away by itself but it was about a month before i felt like i couldn’t see it. 4 years on and there isn’t a mark left but i was recommended to use Vitamin E help with an possibility of scaring. It was awful at the time especially the amount on my face, but really did go away and you would never know. Hope this helps x
Soph, you should definitely try some products from polish brands. I can state that polish cosmetics brands are one of the best on the market, I am not kidding. It will be really satisfying to see them on your channel :) I could give you a hand to choose best from the best :)
I’m really happy I found your channel really enjoyabla videos. All the love from 🇵🇪💓
My 35 yr old daughter has the same skin condition, it does come and go of its own accord and it’s never done her any harm other than having the marks which she always referred to as her leopard spots xxx
I got the same skin issue a couple of months ago and i went through a couple of very stressful months trying to figure out what it was! Very scary! It did went away by itself eventually but it took a long time for me but it does goes away and it s nothing to worry! What helped me massively was the QV gentle wash the dermatologist told me to use and within a couple of weeks it was gone! It will go away :) Happy new year 🖤🖤
I developed pityriasis rosea on my arms when I was 9 and at the time, living in a small town, no one had any clue what it was. They tested me for strep and essentially just told my parents to watch the rash, which spread to my entire body, including my face. Thankfully it happened at the end of the school year so I wasn’t at school when it spread to my neck and face. It took about a full month to go away if I remember correctly, and even after that my skin was super sensitive for a while. Haven’t had it since then, thankfully!
Welcome back 2024 !!! I just would like to advise you nicely that don’t forget to do your hair line every time you do your makeup. Wishing everyone a good beginning to the year. 🎉
hi! i actually got the same skin condition from a throat infection a few years back. my patches went away after a couple of weeks, they suddenly just started healing up and i dont have any scarring. Hope this makes u feel a bit better!
your skin looks amazing your glowing girl!!!😍
I had it a pityriasis rosea a few years ago! Same thing, completely random. It went away by itself in about a month (they did give a shot for itchiness) and then I never had it again. My derm told me that usually once you get it you never get it again! And yes, they have no idea why people get it and no idea why you only get it once and never again.
I had that rash in college! It was awful! Thank goodness it was cold out and I could wear long sleeves. But yeah unfortunately nothing made it go away but time 😕 BUT I’ve had other rashes since then and tried applying straight tea tree oil and that has helped!
I love the grungy look! Missed you, but I do hope you feel better!
Omg Soph, I got the exact same thing around Christmas 2021! I was unwell just before the rash appeared, and I’m convinced I’d had COVID but not realised. I really sympathise with you, as the rash is so unpleasant to look at - mine didn’t itch, it just looked horrible and I felt so down with it, as my body was covered in it, to the point I even dreaded washing myself as it meant seeing the rash. I’m glad you’re feeling better. I slathered my body in Aveda and Oilatum products, and after several weeks the rash eventually vanished.
i just got out of ulta with one thing because i didn’t know what was good or not and right when i get back in my car u posted this😂😭😭😭
Happy New Year! My favourites for the 2023:
lip product: korean - PERIPERA glow tints - HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you can get your hands on these - soft, light weight, they stain a bit which is kinda nice, does not stick at all and hydrate your lips like crazy,
eyes: the loreal telescopic mascara (i used sky high for a very long time but telescopic made my lashes pop even more even tho it is a process to take it off xD), and GLAMINATRIX cosmetics fairy lights pallette... SO SO GOOD, those are only shimmers = very foily, STUNNING.
My fave primer for my oily skin is revolution super vitamin base primer as it doesn't feel too oily also I like the benefit lite pore primer
my bf had this during our summer trip. it was annoying and took a bit of a toll on us but it passed eventually. there usually is one bigger lesion where you can put some steroid, he did because it itched like hell and it helped a bit
I had a flare up of eczema after not having it since I was a baby all over my face. I understand the way it can affect your mental health as it’s so visible, I really struggled when broke out in it as it was so noticeable. But redness, rashes and eczema are so normal, I’ve come to realise❤
Was in UK for Christmas and discovered Boots No 7 products. Went a bit cray cray shopping 😁
I was going to wear NARS on my wedding day too but my MUA recommended we try airbase makeup instead which is basically sprayed on the face and omg its fantastic, I'd recommend looking at that, my skin looked flawless and I couldn't even tell I was wearing it at all. :) hope the wedding planning is going well. I get married in May this year
Hope you feel better soon Soph!❤ so great to have you back 🥰
