Back in the Bed again.

Tanning Bed that is…. I've given up on the dermatologists and doctors. My back still breaks out non-stop and it's disgusting. Even my face is still full of acne. I'm almost 30 years old and I look like I'm going through puberty. When does it end?

I was trying to be good, really I was. I hadn't tanned since my return from Bermuda last September - not even for my February cruise. I was trying to go the dermatologist's route at addressing this mess. NO LUCK. I take pills, double cleanse with special creams, put on foams and then gels….nothing has changed - well, except for some days my skin just flakes off from the dryness these prescriptions cause. The only thing that ever makes a noticable difference is the UV rays.

Some of you may wish to lecture me about UV rays. I understand. Hello, have a few friends that dealt with skin cancer - both benign and malignant…I'm not blind to the risks. But, until you walk in my shoes - you just can't judge.

So, I'm back in the tanning bed and I feel so much better after just one visit. I will continue to watch any moles I have and new markings that may appear and keep it moderate - but I'm keeping it! I don't need some big ugly red mound of goop in the middle of my back on my wedding day!
