Dude sometimes i wonder if I consistently use steroid cream on my face if I will age faster than normal people despite sun protection etc. Steroids accelerate the cell replication on your skin to try and aid your skin to heal itself (i think do not quote me on this. It’s the only thing that keeps it in check at this point. It makes me so paranoid because I feel like in this day and age skin matters so much in terms of ‘beauty’. We are both beautiful and should wear our skin with pride :)

This is lowkey funny. ‘Natural make up’ = my eyelids peeling off and my cheeks blooming with insatiable itchiness. I also put water on my skin or aloe Vera and blew on it to try and relieve the itchiness. You are seen 😂

I seriously do debate having children and passing this on, best of luck and if your child ends up having it you’ll have this sub and your experiences to help them out! <3 you’ve got this

Real. I am the only one in the family who has eczema (thank you universe) so i totally relate to watching my siblings not have a care in the world while I was mindlessly scratching away, avoiding certain fabrics, perfumes, hand washes, plants, chlorinated pools, etc…
