Beauty is indeed skin deep

After 10 winters my skin (the exposed one i.e. face) had suddenly realised that it has an allergic reaction to winter pollen – if there is such a case.

Help – I am peeling off and it is itchy!!

The current three step moisturising regiment is not helping so I resorted to Vaseline – it made the dried peeled skin looked shiny!! I tried Tea Tree – it made my face burned. I took some anti allergy tablets which stopped the itch but made me really sleepy and unproductive but did not stop the skin peeling off.

I rummaged in my little cupboard of creams and ointments and found Eucerin pH5 Crema ( Activa las defensas naturales de la piel 24 Horas de hidratacion) – it is in Spanish because I bought this last February in Tenerife. After two days the peeling had improved (ha ha ha can peeling really improved?) but the sense of dryness and heaviness stays.

Arghh!!

This is probably caused by too much heating in the house so the other day I put on my thickest fleece and opened all windows.

This is probably caused by bad diet? Does that mean I stop eating? I like my pasta, my bread and my rice. I like my eggs and chicken and pork (enumerating farm animals).

I do not know.

Roll on spring.
