Homemade Lotions and Butters
About 1 month ago I made my own skin cream. It works great. It has improved the softness of my skin by 50%. Usually after I shower and I just apply lotion or shea butter, by the end of the night my skin would actually be dry, where it flakes. I think I may have a mild case of eczema. My brother has it bad, and my mom used to think she had it on her scalp until I showed her a better way to wear her hair so she can wash it more often. Well the point is that I can go call day, only lotion once and not peel.
Derma Roller/Dermatologist

So I have been seeing a dermatologist for the past month now to help me with my small skin woes. My skin isn't actually that bad, but I want it to be fantastic. She said we will tackle one issue at a time. The first issue are the stretch marks on my right breast. She said because the marks are old and because of the colour of my skin she would not use the laser. Instead we are trying the derma roller, along with a medication, Vitamin A, and Scar esthetique creme. She took pictures before we started. I took pictures after my first and second treatment. I will post them soon. My issue is that the Vitamin A cream peeled my skin, turned it red and now I have a patch of darker skin. I get my treatment about every 10 days, and after my 3rd one there is now a two week interval.
