I am sorry for the ambiguity. I do have allergies, yes, but I've taken antihistamines (twice the dose recommended) and changed my sheets and I haven't used anything new on my face. I think this may be an allergic reaction I'm having, so I guess what I'm really wondering is if you know how to stop the itch from an allergic reaction that rises blotchiness on the face? Thank you very much in advance

I don’t think it’s possible to stop the reaction happening but you can help it and soothe it. Pay great attention to what you’re eating and stay away from heating foods (in the Ayurvedic sense. Look it up if you’re unknowledgeable about it, it’s really wonderful.) If I eat gluten I break out into dermatitis (a hot, itchy and bumpy red rash) and I find that using fresh aloe (we have a plant) is really wonderful on my body skin. For your face try heating up some organic milk in a small pot, leaving it cool until a skin forms, remove it to a small dish and when cool, add a few drops of rosewater (if your skin is less sensitive and you have had no bad reactions to something like it in the past, try lemon juice - lemon juice is very acidic and it helps destroy bacteria that might be causing the itching) and smooth the mixture on your face. Leave this as a mask for half an hour to an hour. It’s very moisturizing and soothing to the skin!

You could also take a bath while the mask is on, an oatmeal or apple cider vinegar bath (Google ‘em!) and make sure to oil your skin! Oil is wonderful for moisture. Vitamin E and sesame are really nice to use.

I hope your find some relief soon - all the best!

I am SO, SO ITCHY! Do you have any recommendations at all? I've tried everything I can think of!

Well this is a very ambiguous question. I have lots of recommendations but you’d have to be more specific about why you might be in such a state.

What have you tried to solve it, for a start? Do you know anything that necessarily triggers it? Do you have any allergies to food? Do you know your dosha? Are you allergic to the clothing cleaning powder you are using? Are you having a bad reaction to a skincare product?

I wish I had been as cool as you when I was 15! Oof, Tahti, you just make the world turn with your babe-ness.

(*゚ロ゚) omg that is amazing that you wish that! My memories of that time are so painfully awkward. I was probably thought of as the least cool person at the time, just really really weird. Rural Ireland was not a Tahti-fan in the slightest. 

and thank you so much auuu you sweetheart!! You made me smile hehe ^.^ <3

What did you look like at 15?

Hahahaha. Very different. Have a photo.
