Hey There

I’m Silvia... mamá, author, and the heart behind CalmSkinMama™. Eczema has been part of my story for as long as I can remember. I grew up scratching at night, trying new creams, and hiding my patches under sleeves wishing someone had told me that my skin was still beautiful.

 

Years later, when my little one had a severe eczema flare at just 3 months old, everything changed. I knew I couldn’t let him go through the same emotional struggles I did.

 

Doctors called it “normal.”

My mamá heart said to look deeper.

So I did.

 

I started researching, learning, trying and failing...a lot. We slowly shifted into a semi low-tox lifestyle, nothing extreme, just simple swaps that supported skin health, emotional calm, and family wellness. I learned that healing isn’t always fast or perfect but it can be gentle, realistic, and heart-led.

 

And little by little, I saw changes:

 

✨ Less itching

✨ Better sleep

✨ Calmer mornings

✨ More confidence

​

But I also realized something important... eczema is more than just skin deep. It affects how kids feel about themselves as they grow. I want to make sure my son never feels alone, or ashamed of his skin, the way I once did. That’s why I wrote my bilingual children’s book, Mi Piel Valiente / My Brave Skin  to help kids feel seen, brave, and proud of their skin, no matter how different it looks.

And it’s why I created this space.
