Aw, I'm so sorry about your skin. :( You are so not alone in it, though. I feel your pain. When I got engaged I developed really bad eczema all over my face and neck. It was HORRIBLE looking (bright red, peeling constantly, no hiding it under make up) and it itched like crazy. I kind of got it under control with medication over the next year, and then I got pregnant with Fitz. Slowly my eczema came back, and by the time Fitz was born I looked almost as bad as I did when I got married. Then it magically disappeared in a week (apparently my post-partum hormones are the good kind), but as soon as I stopped nursing I started getting acne again. With Swede I had beautiful skin all through my pregnancy and while nursing, but the acne/eczema came back when I stopped. And over my next two pregnancies I've still had bouts of acne...and I'm going to be 30 soon! My 16 year old self would have died at the thought of still struggling with acne at 30. Anyway, I hope you get some relief from it soon. If only there was a photoshop feature in real life, right? I'd be using it everyday!
hehehe cute pic! your daughter is ADORABLE. Freaking had a blast meeting her finally. sorry to hear about your problems with acne. oddly enough, my acne problems disappeared after kids. so weird how everyone has different reactions. on my first pregnancy tho, i had really bad dry skin. so even different pregnancies are different on you. look forward to another girls day out!
