I have not been able to do this in years . I cant remember the last time I was even able to shower twice in one week. And while I know that my sudden need to crawl back in bed is just how it goes, I feel like it’s worth it this time .
I used to have great skin and hair and rarely even would sweat or stink. Recently I’ve noticed my pores have become clogged and inflamed . My armpits stink . Now even my scalp has not been getting clean right after a shower, I smell this funk when I scratch my head like a day later. This is not good . I’m very sensitive to smells, oh the irony. I have not been able to care for myself . But if anyone has a similar problem , I may have found part of a solution . Glycolic acid . I was using it on my pits after a shower to exfoliate . And on my face . And now finally , I’m using it on my head to deep clean/exfoliate before a shower. I just put it on my scalp for half an hour before getting in the shower. Because I put this on my head, I had no choice but to take this shower. I’ve been trapped in bed a really long time.
I know this might be a one off , and I may end up having to go back to once a week . But I just wanted to celebrate with the people who actually get it because my husband (who showers every single day) doesn’t seem to grasp what a big deal this was for me today . And no one else in my life does either .
