The Secret to Beautiful Skin For a Couple Weeks Anyway

I have eczema. I also have in my possession a powerful prescription steroid-laden salve. It's expensive, so I try not to use said steroid-laden salve except for skin emergencies. Like, say, after I spend a week camping and baking the hell out of myself.

Apply steroid-laden salve, and look like a normal human being the next day. It's magical. My skin has a fabulous soft texture for about a week after one of these emergency treatments, but it's been a few weeks since I applied the salve and my skin is still soft and dewy.

The only explanation I can think of is that I haven't eaten any crap (fried, sugared, whatever) for weeks. AND I've been faithfully taking my fish oil pills (shut up, I saw a model who ate nothing but fish and had perfect skin...plus it's good for the heart). I think the combination of the two has been good for my skin.

I feel pretty.
