In this video I’m giving a real-time skin update because my skin has been doing that “reptilian / sand paper” thing where it feels dry, raw, and itchy while it’s trying to heal. The hard part is the healing itch—because once I scratch, I end up damaging my skin barrier even more. I had a couple pimples (forehead and cheek) that were still developing, and honestly I wanted them to fall out on their own… but I had a little scratch session and one turned into a scar situation. My chest was also feeling goosebumpy and raw from scratching, so this is basically what you’ll keep seeing as I document this dry skin journey. I also shared some little life moments (movies, a beautiful full moon, and getting ready for a fiesta birthday party where I felt very bonita). I did use multiple hair products and even hairspray to seal everything in, but this one is mainly about skin right now. I picked up a few items from Ross—like Aztec clay, a retinol body cream (not using that for a long while), and an essence I heard is good for redness and eczema. I’m trying to do this without prescriptions or steroids, so if you have barrier-protecting remedies, I’m listening. As always—embrace joy.
