Yesterday I was naughty… I went to my friend’s birthday celebrations at the royal polo and wore a full face of makeup all day (and gawtdamnit I felt fantastic). Here’s a pic of me and my bestie Tom who will likely be a future patient of Dr Aron’s should my treatment work out well in the long term:
I expected only to wear makeup for a few hours but there were some Americans at the party who were too young to drink in the US so we decided it would be rude not to take them out for some legal drinking in London.
Then 5 hours of makeup turned into 16 hours of makeup and drinking throughout…
I had the time of my life but I’m quite flared today. The worst places are my arms, forehead and back, but again, this is nowhere near anything like I would have had previous to Dr Aron’s regime. Although it looks bad, it’s not really that itchy today.
My face is quite dry and red but that’s completely my fault as I missed half of my facial applications yesterday. Sort of worth it though for 24 hours of having a life back…?
I emailed Dr Aron about the increasing flares, and he’s told me to go back to 5 applications a day. It feels a bit like a disappointing step backwards, but I knew before I started that this process would have its ups and downs, and my poor skin has been through a lot. It’s really difficult to come to terms with the fact that as an independent 24 year-old I can’t do or go to certain things, especially when my friends are there lapping up the fun. Argggh, so many lifestyle changes!
