So, you want a tattoo, but you're worried it's not going to heal properly and look awful due to your eczema or TSW? No worries, I’ve got your covered.

I chatted with Skin Warriors who already got inked and here is what they told me.

... and why not every natural fabric is good for your skin.

It’s been a while since I wanted to write about it as there are some conviction that when you suffer from skin condition or you have sensitive skin it is enough to wear clothes made of soft fabrics. Whether you talk to dermatologists or ask Google for suggestions what to wear when you suffer from skin condition, cotton is the first thing they recommend.

The truth is that not all cotton is good and soft is not enough to make your compromised skin feel comfortable. As always, the devil is in the details.

...and how to  get the money for that.

Have you ever wondered what is the oldest item in your closet? Or the item you love the most? Do you remember time you bought it?

For me it will be my reversible down coat with a shawl collar. A truly best purchase ever. I’ve been wearing it for over 25 years. Yes, that’s correct, 25 years.

And when I say that I wore it, I mean heavy use, like every.single.day  3-4 months per year. Pretty amazing, right?

In other words: the number on the price tag explained.

When I was little, I was taught from a very early age the value of honesty and truth. My parents never punished me for telling the truth even when I did really bad things like that time when I was 7 and ate the sandwich with Nutella that belonged to my classmate (hey! Before you judge me, I was raised in communist Poland where vinegar and vodka were the only things available in the shops and my colleague had a father who worked in Germany).

... how they temporarily treated her eczema and permanently destroyed her skin and why topical corticosteroids is not the biggest problem.

...and how to relieve your eczema-prone skin of its emotional burden.

Have you ever thought what your troubled skin is trying to DO for you?

"Is it trying to satisfy the primary needs of love, respect, and protection or to resolve the problems that arose when these needs were not fulfilled years ago?"

In this article you will learn:

1. What’s is Tencel® and why it became a lifesaver for sore eczematous skin.
2. How it helps prevent further flares.
3. Why cotton is not any longer the best solution when you suffer from a skin condition.

...and tips how to protect yourself.

I’m always amazed how people care about what they put in their bodies and don’t care at all what they put on their bodies. I agree it would be easier if every piece of the garment comes with the list of “ingredients” attached to it like it’s in case of food. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. At least not yet.

However, using this as an excuse is very weak and can cost you health.

...(if that's want you want).

When it comes to dressing, there are two types of people with skin conditions: those who don’t really care what other people say and dress the way they want even on bad skin days, and those who prefer to keep their disease for themselves and hide their patches.

Neither of them is better nor worse. They are simply different. 

Practical tips from experienced Eczema Warrior

I looove clothes and shoes and bags and beautiful objects in general AND I’m a deep believer that when you wear clothes you love, you act different, think different, and feel different emotions (which btw was scientifically proven by psychologist Prof. Karen Pine).

The truth is...
