Ah so nice to lay down at last! Made chicken schnitzel after my shower and did a load of washing which I hung all about the place (poor man’s evaporative cooling lol). I hate this weather because since I started menopause and had COVID last year and had all that rashy business with my skin it’s super sensitive. When I sweat it feels stinging and then itches like crazy. I’ve started having problems with deodorants; I buy one and try it a couple of times and often have a problem with it. It’ll make a rash or it looks like I’ve grazed my armpits somehow. At least my face is almost completely better, healed miraculously fast and now just looks like an odd bit of barely visible reddish sunburn or something. I’ll take the small wins as I can get 'em!
You might like to try unscented talc instead of deodorant. The aluminium oxide stuff in most deodorants can be tricky to manage if your skin is sensitive. Basically the talc soaks up sweat rather than seal the pores like a deodorant does. Makes clothes pretty yukky but does wash out well. Sympathy for the menopause internal temperature regulation problems - I had some doozies during mine.

The crash is getting a liberal use at times lol.
cool showers for you
and maybe it’s been a year for skin probs, I’m battling awful rosacea at the moment , it’s even in my eyes
😮How do you treat it? I always thought it looked very uncomfortable.
I used a roll on. It’s got next to no scent and works well.
It’s called Nivea sensitive protect.
Might be worth a try for you?
Thanks I’ll give it a try
