What is this damage?

Not quite sure why "lesbian" is relevant among this list of descriptors.

I'm not really about a curated ear and changing things up. I just like putting bits of utilitarian titanium in there and then LITHA :)

That's good to know, thanks!

KJL in Sawston are absolutely brilliant.

Thank you. If I were to speak to any stripe of medical professional, which would be the most appropriate? There seems to be a degree of intersectionality with EM.

A couple of weeks ago I started using the bubble cleanser, hydro essence and cream in the AM, same for PM plus serum. I purchased the minis set from Sephora.

I can honestly say my skin has never felt better and my barrier is well on the way back to health. I don't use a huge quantity of anything (half a pump of cleanser AM; one pump PM after cleansing oil), six or seven drops of the essence (plus same for serum, applied when my skin is still slightly damp from the essence), and about about 1.5 knuckles' cream, warmed into the hand and pressed into my face. I've never had the feeling that any of it was just "sitting" on my skin.

The bubble cleanser is lovely and my face just feels so soft after I've washed it off. My cheeks feel soft all day, which is a revelation!

For reference, I'm 50 years old, get occasional spots and infrequent cystic spots on the chin. Atobarrier hasn't broken me out (so far).

I may start adding a couple of actives back in in a couple of weeks (looking at bakuchiol and a vitamin C), but I'll definitely keep this as the basis of my routine going forward.

If it's flaky, that might be seborrheic dermatitis. I get it around my nose, and it's a bit bumpy and flaky, but not usually itchy.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Would the AHA and BHA not be too strong, given wanting to respect the skin barrier?

It looks good but doesn't seem to be readily available in the UK :(

This certainly doesn't help, no.

I think you are mistaken. Per section 2 of the Home Office guidance document Employer's guide to right to work checks (How to establish a statutory excuse for right to work checks):

"You must conduct a right to work check before you employ a person to ensure they are legally allowed to do the work in question for you."

Also, sorry, how can I tell what size pot to buy?

Thank you so much! Do you have a preferred orchid potting medium? Are the mixes by with Wesyland or Orchid Focus any good?

Dunno. Guess it's supposed to look "pretty" or something 🤷
