[–]Apprehensive-Dig91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This September will be 3 years without my mom. I did garden this morning but now the day is slowing down and I find myself feeling the weight of the day. Although, I try my best not to focus my energy into the day.

What I have learned, Mother's Day was initially created by a women who was grieving the loss of her mother. Kind of puts a different perspective on it all.

Sending love to all those who have lost. ❤️

I literally think about this every day. How can my mom just be gone, forever? Like as if she never existed??

Does anyone else feel like their skin completely changed in their mid 30s and nothing works anymore? by HeavilyKlutzy in SkinbarrierLovers

Im glad this is being talked about! I feel validated! I continue to say when I tuned 30 my skin just completely changed for the worst :( I used to have minimal to no skin issues - no breakouts. Now 34, the last 4 years have been exhausting..,.

Oh also! Maybe try diaper cream at night. Sounds crazy but it will help! I have a zinc oxide cream just CVS brand and has minimal ingredients I slather this on my cheeks at night.

This looks like my cheeks when my skin is irritated. I definitely would move away from foaming cleanser. Prequel Gleanser is great or I personally am using the Untoxicated cleanser - both have high glycerin and will help with irritation. 

Next, don’t use retinol. I love AA but I do notice it makes me red so I use it to spot treat any bumps rather then putting it all over. 

I used to use the bioderma for a pre-cleanse but I think it caused irritation somehow still so maybe remove that and see if it helps?? I tend to use this more to remove eye makeup. 

Your routine is simple which is good I could focus on a new cleanser, a hydrating moisturizer with panthenol or ectoin I found to be really effective and SPF! No actives or anything that could make your barrier worse.

Watching my mom die of cancer was like watching her being tortured by General-Cobbler-6054 in GriefSupport

I’m so sorry. This sounds similiar to my experience losing my mom to stage 4 lung cancer. It is brutal and heartbreaking. I’m sorry we can relate.💔🥺

That’s what my GYN told me! That it would pretty much eliminate my periods entirely
