This is a typical Daily Mail headline but it’s also true. My family do all have really good skin but my parents and aunt all have less wrinkles than me at the moment. I’m 47 and feel the deep grooves, crepey skin and wrinkles that TSW have wrought on my face have aged me at least 20 years!

I’d like to thank Epaderm and Chloe Morgan from Mail Online for making this happen. It’s a really lovely piece of writing.
I hope to also share more of my journey soon, having stopped using Topical Steroids in January 2019 and then Protopic in April 2019, I’m now one year and two months topical steroid free and I am so pleased I made that decision.

Keep reading to hear more in future blogs and feel free to ask me anything you want to about TSW, eczema and how I look after my skin now completely naturally.
