The few times I've unintentionally had "dewy dumpling" or "glazed donut" skin was when I damaged it and it was red and weepy, like when I got one of those battery-powered scrubby brushes in an acne-control kit, or when I had a horrible reaction to poison ivy. It's not a look I want to purposefully recreate.

I'd horrify Vo with my lack of a complicated skincare routine. A few people I followed on TwiX were always pushing The Ordinary products and I stocked up on all the redness relief stuff. I'd gotten a proprietary Rx-but-not-FDA-approved rosacea blend from some scammy dermatology chain I'd been referred to by the VA community care program, because it was right down the street from my house. I didn't want to go back to them, so I was looking for the products to attempt to recreate it, because it did work. I hated trying to figure out which order to apply them. This one on dry skin, this one on damp skin, this one before that one, but don't use more than four products at a time. Ugh! Then I read your piece about eating bread to get your niacin, and it hit me that the redness likely got worse when I started eating low carb. I'm back to unrestricted, non-disordered eating. I still have slight redness, but I'm much happier. So, thank you, Jessica. ❤

thank YOU!
Life's too short to not enjoy fresh-out-of-the-oven bread with a hearty soup or stew during the cold months (medical reasons notwithstanding). 😁
