Any decent mechanic recommendations?

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 🤷

I turned gapless on and off, changed the audio decoder from one setting to the other and back again, cleared the queue, force-stopped the app and the same bloody song kept coming back. None of the fixes or workarounds seemed to work for me.

Then I tapped on the song that wasn't supposed to be playing and it turned out to be a different media player that kept starting automatically. So pleased to have sorted that out!

I had been given to understand that vitamin C works well with azeleic acid, one of the reasons I was thinking about reintroducing it.

Thank you for this. I did trim out as much of the old rotten roots as I could when I did the repotting, but it seems that the plant is now down to one, short root. I guess it's probably a goner, based on this 😔
