My skin is FINALLY clearing up

Did you know that lupus has its own kind of acne?

Me either until recently. It’s like a very aggressive version of cystic acne and it scars like CRAZY. It makes me beyond self conscious because nothing really seems to make it go away either 🫠

The sun is out more here in northern New York, so my butterfly rash is acting up because the sun and SLE are not friends. But I’m a sunny weather girl so 🤷🏽‍♀️

If anyone has any good sunscreen recommendations please let me know! I have really sensitive skin so I don’t ever know what will make me break out 🙃#acnejourney #lupusawareness #SLE

Eating for better skin??? Beauty from within
My skin started clearing up the moment I stopped treating it as a separate problem from my gut. This is a real plate from my rotation, not a “diet.” Lean protein (eggs + chicken) for skin repair, romaine and avocado dip for fiber, and a daily Bio-K+ probiotic that’s been the actual game changer.
