For the first time in my life I can actually say I have shit skin. Perioral dermatitis is what its called (gets worse after exercise and showering for me and it burns and itches so so much). Apparently the cause is unknown and could be a variety of things, but I know mine is due to stress, the fact that Tim Tams could be dinner and I often dont listen to my body, I do what I think I should be doing, like getting out of bed early to exercise when Im already exhausted. Skin starts from within, so Im making an effort to nourish rather than stick to a regimented program that would probably do more harm than good. Some of you may know I was vegan for 2 years and Ive decided to go back to a plant based way of eating and avoid inflammatory foods including gluten and even nightshade vegetables (capsicum, tomato, potato etc) as they are inflammation causing. Ive been waking up in the morning and it takes me 20 minutes to get out of bed because I feel so fatigued. My joints ache. My digestion is terrible. My skin is shit. Ive been depressed. So something has to give. This is something I will actually blog about, but I will do so in a relaxed fashion. I plan on sticking to whole, plant based foods 90% of the time, but if Im out and a chocolate brownie is calling my name then so be it. I started my day with a banana and mango smoothie bowl topped with coconut and chia and 1L of water.
