Saving up skin for the summer

[woodface]

I hate my skin. I absolutely hate it.

It's hurting and itching at the same time. The cream I put on it isn't soothing it at all. Actually, I think it just got worse. Damn, can't scratch, can't touch it cause it will hurt more.

*winces* Just about anything hurts in cracked or open-sore skin. I had excema for years on my elbows and anything hurt...

These days, no excema at all (gotta love a regular skincare program!)...

*sends cool and soothing thoughts Jara's way*

Thanks hon. I just wish there was a program. I have psoriasis (a mild form thank goodness but enough to drive me crazy once in a while), there isn't really a cure. The oilments that normally work just don't anymore after a while.

Have you tried regularly exfoliating, cleansing and moisturising? I had periodic flare-ups on face and body until I just started using a basic skin-care routine (cleanser, toner, moisturiser) daily. After about 2 months, the skin problems cleared up and I've been mostly problem-free since.

Hmmm, no not really. But that's because on a daily basis after I washed up I use some kind of oilment on it that is supposed to word.

I still get flare ups though, they can be stress or even period related. The only thing that then works is an oilment on cortizone but that's not healthy if you use it too much. Did use it now though and it's a bit better again.

Thanks!
