"You are your own worst enemy" That is what my dermatologist said to me today. Basically boils down to the fact that I am causing all of my skin problems....and he is asking me to do something I am not quite sure that I can do....
Don't take so many baths....and stop using any skin product that is not prescribed by him. And, that means no astringent.
First step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I am addicted to bathtubs and toner.
Looking at that picture of the claw foot tub makes me smile....and dream of a bathroom remodel.
The second thing he said to me that I didn't know if I liked...
"I love the white skin" I didn't like hearing that....my white skin isn't something I love all the time...A girl just wants to be tan sometimes.
But, then he followed it up with "You should see the awful sun damage I see in this office."
So, maybe if I quit afflicting myself with harm on my skin...I can have white skin minus red splotches and skin that is less reminiscent of a 14 year old boy entering puberty.
Looks like I will visit the pharmacist instead of that European lady at Macy's to get my skin care.
Hopefully the person in the white coat gives me junk that works this time.
Maybe bathing 2 - 3 times a day isn't ideal. But, this is something I am going to have to really work on.
One of my childhood best friends didn't call me "mermaid" for nothin'
