[Personal] From A Very Dark Place To A Better One - 1 Year Skin Health Progress

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi allFirst time posting with pictures on here so apologies if any issues with the links to photos:IMAGES:https://imgur.com/a/cYIMCjQhttps://imgur.com/a/CvWRcNzI am due to follow up with my Doctor on Friday who has been helping me with a number of issues including my Seb Derm. I wanted to find a photo of when my Seb Derm and FA was at its worst and looked back through my phone to end of November 2018 and found the second image which was just an awful time in my life.At this point I was very depressed and couldn't see how my skin was going to improve.Almost a year later, I took another photo in the same place with similar lighting and it really brought a smile to my face.I still suffer from SD around my nose and scalp but it is sooooo much better then it was this time last year.I attribute the progression mainly due to adopting an very strict elimination diet and also to adopting a fungal safe routine (thank you to my man FC).For me, less really is more and any excessive application of products can cause a flare so this has been a massive learning curve.Current routine for anyone interested consists of MCT Oil Cleansing, Bioderma Micellar Water & LRP Sensitive Toleraine Fluid.I am still very critical of my skin and have this goal (borderline obsession) to develop perfectly clear healthy skin however, seeing these photos together has reassured me that I am moving in the right direction.I cannot reiterate how bad of a place I was in both physically (I also suffer from IBS & Cardiac Issues) and mentally this time last year, I barely left my house for 3 months and it has affected me in all areas including friendships, relationships and work. I wish I knew about Reddit back then as I would have sought a lot of comfort from this Sub therefore, if anyone is in a bad place with how they feel about their skin or just suffering with anything in general, then please contact me via PM if you wish to do so as I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone and will help in any way I can with the things I have learned over the past year, especially relating to self esteem through the work I have done with my therapist.Wishing everyone all the best.Jamie
