Hotel Destruction
My job requires me to travel and this means living in hotels and no guarantees about the environmental factors. So I arrive at the hotel late at night, weary and tired and go to bed. During the course of the night I am itchy, restless and have a mini scratch destruction. Unfortunately a sharp edge of one of my finger nails ploughed thru some areas of the skin.
Oh well, alas back to square one.....flaky, over dry skin. Getting up was a chore, my body felt aweful, my face was very red and the eyes red and puffy.
I've had an allergic reaction. Two things:
- the room was warm - got the hotel to supply a fan
- the bedding was feather pillows and a down duvet - got the hotel to replace all bedding with anti-allegenic.
Getting Back on Track
I had forgotten the Aloe Vera and not had time to find any in shops close by. I think great let's see if there is an impact. It took 5 days to get the itching back under control again. Getting up during the night when itchy to have a cold shower as well as using the sea salt treatment. However the skin did not feel as moist as when Aloe Vera had been applied when the skin was at a similar condition earlier on in the year.
So my lesson this week to all sufferers, is to check your bedding before you go to sleep.
