So the past few months have been trying to say the least, and everything translates to my skin - you know that saying wearing your heart on your sleeve? Well I wear my "heart" aka stress on my neck, as that's where my Darier's manifests the most.

So I tried:

Bio Oil = fail.

Recovery Balm from Saje = fail.

So next I went back to what I know: lower sugar, no dairy, less stress (isn't that always the goal??) and of course the tried and tested supplements. I went back to taking Vitamin A gels at night, Zinc 15 ml at lunch, and ok, I admit, something new....

I vlogged about it! Check it out:



I ordered Germolene on Amazon:

I was recently contacted by Discovery Channel and Betty to see if anyone in our community would like to share their story:



The message I received from Jessica: 

The documentary we are making will follow single men and women who feel that their love lives have been affected by a medical or physical condition and as a result may not feel entirely comfortable with being open about their condition when they first meet people. We would like bring a bit of awareness to skin conditions, such as psoriasis, keloid scarring, vitiligo and eczema.  I understand that a lot of these conditions are hard to deal with because there is no simple cure and individuals may have to live with a condition for their entire life.  I wondered if anyone from the UK ever got in touch with you about Darier’s disease? Darier’s disease isn’t something we have previously featured, and it would be great to provide some awareness to a new condition.


I'm intrigued, aren't you? I think sharing our stories is necessary to end stigma and create community! I hope you message her :)
