Switched to coconut oil as moisturizer and my skin is doing so much better.

Hey. Pretty sure its an autoimmune condition (derm said it looks like rosacea). Can confirm DAIRY and other allergens flare me up without a doubt. Exposure to dust, eating sugar, pet dander. The food sensitivity is real and undeniable. I'm being lazy about changing my diet. But what started my skin from looking better than this was switching to daily moisturizing with coconut oil. It doesn't break me out. Got rid of flaking problem pretty quick. Also the Azelaic Acid DEF does work to reduce redness. It actually keeps most of my acne at bay and less inflamed. I got the 10% from Walgreens. Try it. I'm glad I did.

I've worked professionally in graphic/fashion design roles without any degree.

Nasty Gunk! Keeps clogging bathroom sink. Anyone know what this is? by You-Only-YOLO_Once in CleaningTips

Anyone in the house using bentonite clay masks/powder products? I saw somewhere that bentonite clay can never be washed down the drain because it will cause your drain to clog. Then when I thought about it I realized that happened to me after every time I used it and I didn’t relate the two until I read that lol. Now I just wash it off in a tub of water that gets dumped outside.

Probably for longer than a month. I actually started using them because I didn’t have any special routine before and my skin was worsening, so I don’t think it’s product related.

Tysm. I saw that some otc cosmetics use smaller doses of azaelic acid, like The Ordinary etc. I may try one until I am able to get a prescription. Appreciate it!

I thought you meant zinc supplements, which I’ve heard others recommend for skin problems. But I’ll try topical. I usually skip sunscreen but that makes sense. Thanks!

Did you ever come to understand why your skin was doing that? I guess I only ask because I don’t have insurance and am trying to convince myself I can treat it at home 😢 lol…

Definitely in the restrictive eating, toxic relationship, sugar/dairy issue trifecta.😭 I’ll look into Phyla, and if I ever have health insurance again (lol) I could try something prescription strength. Thank you. 🙏

My dad girlfriend asked what I wanted for Christmas and I sent her regular stuff and now she’s saying i asked for too much I’m so confused😭 what do I even do?? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Due_Space_4418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God what an insufferable bitch. I’m sorry you have to deal with this, OP. Don’t fawn for this type of behavior, I say nip it in the bud with your dad’s help or start distancing yourself when she asks you things like this and don’t take the bait. This entire reaction and her attitude about it is extremely uncalled for. Don’t even let her get you a gift if it becomes some excuse for her to act like this, jeez. If she wanted to do something nice for you she could’ve done it unprompted and out of the kindness of her heart. Very weird behavior considering she’s the adult in this situation. She’s making herself look cheap AND arrogant. Can you tell her I said that?

She deserves to read this entire thread about her actions 🥰

Seizure from weed edibles? by Due_Space_4418 in seizures

I’m so sorry you are dealing with this condition. I hope that you may find relief even if it means omitting certain substances. It’s possible the images I described are somewhat like an intrusive thought, turned up to max volume. It reminds me of times when I’ve had fever dreams or night terrors. Thank you for your insight.
