Okay guys!So those who know me, know two years ago I got a severe and traumatic bacterial infection after my face got wind and ice scoured on a hiking trip. Since then I haven’t been able to use any moisturizers and my skin is really reactive to pretty much everything but mild sulphur soap and plain jojoba oil. Freya Fawn at Fawn and Crow Apothecary helped me find one of her calendula balms that not only didn’t cause my skin to react, but it moisturized and quickly calmed inflammation and irritation just as quickly as my maintenance prescription ointment. About three days difference in the photos and I didn’t have to use my Rx at all to calm it down (which has never happened before). It’s mostly healed up! The second picture was from today, and that’s after I wore make up last night, which is usually something I have to plan and do sparingly because the skin on my face is always incredibly angry and stings for days afterwards. 10/10 recommend!
