Season changes and flares
With the winter solstice being yesterday, and me flaring quite badly at the moment, I remembered something I learned while using TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) herbs. They say that the toughest times for people with skin conditions are when the seasons are changing as it has such a huge effect on us.
I never noticed this pattern until my TCM practitioner told me, and looking back now, I do see most of my worst flares have been at those times.
Have you noticed this in your own personal experience?
Absolutely! I could not agree more with your words, Nina! My skin is looking terrible at the moment. The cold air makes my skin crack and bleed even when moisturizing. A constant battle🙁
same here Peter. Even though I actually sometimes do worse in summer because I don't handle heat well. This year it's kicking my butt a little extra. I hope you get some relief soon! Happy holidays! 😁
