Skin Care: The Rehab

Ever since MS I’ve had to reevaluate my eating and skincare habits. Here is how it goes:

I realized I'm a bit superficial 😶.

Though they work the current MS medicines I am using have drastically shifted my skincare. Traditionally, in the summer, my skin is oily, in the fall/winter dry, and in the spring/summer, combo. Now with schedule IV prescriptions constantly in my system, my skin can and will fluctuate to severe levels of oily, clogged pore betrayal and a blackhead blizzard.

In the winter my legs, lips, hands, and cheeks can get extremely dry. I can see the dead skin forming around my cuticles. The MS burns, cuts and scraps I have on my legs, I can no longer feel due to nerve damage, these are my first-world dilemmas.

Am I not wrong for finding distraction? I am attempting to forgive myself in order to cope with my stressors and give my body an adequate chance at survival.

HONESTY HOUR: I will NOT spend money on things I can make at home 👀. I’ve gone through trial and error on products and DIY masks I can use endlessly, to fade these scars and tame these marks 🤷🏾‍♀️.

I've gotten unsettling news that my dermatologist will not use As stologusgvso no laser treatment to instantly or within 10 sessions take my burms away. Fed up with my skin, I have laid out the skincare spread that I will use daily to assist with keeping cleanliness and scar recovery to find what will work for me.

Cleaning:

1️⃣ Azalic acid.

2️⃣ DIY turmeric, Aztec mask, honey with milk, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
