Jessica Simpson has no secrets.

Recently, the singer and mogul opened up about her battle with eczema.

In between homeschooling her kids and running her fashion empire, Jessica is partnering with eczema ointment brand Eucrisa to help others who may be suffering from the same skin condition.

“I have had eczema since I was a kid,” she told People magazine. “I experienced it in junior high and high school, and after cheerleading I would just put on my letter[man] jacket or a sweatshirt because people would hug me and be like, ‘What is that on your arm?’ And I’m just like, ‘Ah, it’s the weather. It’s Texas. It’s a heat rash.'”

She added that her eczema cleared for a while, until it came back after she gave birth to her youngest daughter Birdie Mae.

“After I had Birdie, I had an eczema flare that was a lot more intense than I had ever experienced before,” she explained. “Eric was taking pictures and I was like, ‘You cannot send those to anybody. I cannot believe the bumps on my arms.’ And I called my doctor immediately. He prescribed Eucrisa. And I will say that in two weeks it worked incredibly. I used it for three months and now I’ve noticed here and there I’ll have a flare up and I’ll just put Eucrisa on for a week or two and it will be gone.”

We’re happy she found something that works for her! She’ll always be gorgeous in our eyes.
