The problem with having naturally very dry skin is that I got very spoiled in adolescence where the natural increased oiliness of teenagerhood combined with the Death Valley conditions of my skin to only really experience breakouts around my period (which happened rarely) or really stressful times (more common), and now as an adult, I’m forced to slather myself in lotion and moisturizer lest my skin start eating itself

#and I hate the texture of lotion #alas #the pattern seeking part of my brain wants to believe that there’s a connection between this + my ostensibly high histamine levels (as #evidenced by the allergies and dermatographia)#+ my body’s inability to retain salt/stay hydrated (or maintain a normal temp)#+ my joint problems #but most of my brain is the ‘you didn’t connect shit’ half of that meme #wherein the connection is simply that it is my body doing all these things #anyway #eating a peach going to bed #personal
