IM SORRY
I'm so sorry a open letter to my skin...
I didn’t love you, even though I should have, I should of loved the cute freckles you gave me on my nose as a little girl, then to my horror spread out to my cheeks instead I didn’t want to go to school.
I should have been in complete owe of you when you healed without a scar after boiling water burnt you or after all the times the sun burnt you.
I covered you in layers of makeup as a teen, - I hated you for displaying my youth and hormones, I soaked you in astringent and scrubbed you until you bleed, I squeezed and poked you.
Coming into my twenties didn’t get any better for you, - then the acids burned you! soon as I heard of a new abrasive skin treatment you become a victim, raw skin after dermabrasions (aka metal sandpaper tearing you apart), -in the hope of glowy skin..
you are so strong you just kept healing for me, even in the darkest hours when we slept all you needed was some clarity and space to regenerate. I didn’t even hold that space for you! Instead, I drenched you in overnight creams & potions...
Through my beautiful pregnancies you held up my babies I’m sorry I never seen the good, instead I panicked of any stretch marks instead of marvelling in your beauty.
On the daily I scrubbed away your eco system... every time you grew it back for my skins own protection im so sorry , I washed it away down the drain again.
When I started getting blemishes on my chin, and inflammation on my cheeks you were just trying to tell me something, like my own guardian angel protecting me, - a natural skin function sending me messages when something was out of balance, instead of listening, I silenced you & found cover up solutions...
You were always there sending me messages, telling me that something within was out-of-balance and the outside was tired of the chemical’s and harsh treatments.
Im so sorry I didn’t give you space, I’m so sorry I didn’t hear you... and im so thankful you didnt give up on me...
I should of supported you with gut friendly foods, I should of let you breath & heal, I should of feed your microbiome with plant based balanced serums & I never ever should of broken the microbiome with harsh exfoliators....
Now I know better,.... your been nothing but calm beautiful perfect.. you always were... You carried me through my whole life...
I love you and thank you.
