Day 150 - Day 151 or 21.5 Weeks or Last Days of Month 5...Playing with Makeup... Topical Steroid Withdrawal

I finally put on makeup for the first time.  And I flared.  Although, I'm not sure if it was the makeup, the makeup remover, or the Sonic tater tots I ate out of starvation that made me flare... So, I'll have to test the makeup later....  For the first time... I felt like I looked somewhat normal.

 Day 150

From a distance I don't look too bad.... Up close I look flaky.. a flaky mess.

Back really clearing up


I used mineral oil to remove my makeup.  At this point, my skin was already starting to flare.  I'm thinking from the tots.   You can see my chest is already a rashy mess and the face will follow....

    Looking great! Isn't it amazing how a little makeup can make us feel so normal for a little while! It's all the little things that count at the moment I guess :) here's hoping our thick skin goes down soon!!
