Exfoliation

Thankfully, skin is better, after not going wild over Christmas and eating a lot of green leaves!

However it is dry from my last niggly scratch session. So since I keep picking my skin as it is flaking, decided to just exfoliate the dry skin off. I don't know whether this is a good or bad thing yet, but the moisturisers I apply seem to take better - that is a cream followed by a vaseline type emollient. Skin looks better!

Skin Improvements

My skin tone and quality has improved leaps and bounds with the summer sun and a change in diet and lifestyle. I eat a lot more fresh salad and greens produced from the garden.

The inner body is feeling better and so I suspect has a role in both physically and psychologically making the outer body feel better.

People who want to lose weight need to do more about their lifestyle than just eat less or take a pill. A long term weight control means understanding what is causing the weight gain and then modifying ones lifestyle accordingly forever.

I feel this is just like eczema. We want a magic cream and a pill to make it all better. However I have learnt that eczema also means making lifestyle modifications in order to get better. More sleep, more water, better diet. However, I still find myself taking an antihistamine a couple of times a month, just before my period, to ensure sleep and a reduction of hives.

NOW I feel now that I can start applying the cortesone cream as the itchy skin is under control. Why apply the cortesone cream? This is to burn off the bad skin and to premote healing before the winter months are upon us. However, I am first considering using exfoliation products to remove the bad skin.
