I’ve spent about twenty years seeing dermatologists and, in that time, there’s only ever been one that has taken a holistic approach to my skin health treatment. His name: Professor Marini – The medical director of the Skin Doctors Center in Trieste, Itlay. Very well respected in his field across the world, Prof. Marini was the first, and since only, dermatologist to listen to my stomach, ask about my diet and prescribe probiotics, omega oils, gluten and lactose free diet and a skincare routine, with high quality products – which when all combined, started to help my skin heal.
My daily routine was to shower with oil then, using cotton wool pads apply acid to my whole body. Then leaving a minute for the that to soak in , I then applied the auto-immune suppresent, then the steroid cream. Waiting for one minute, I would then apply a ‘spritz’ of thermal spring water before applying the emollients. I did this twice per day for 6 months! Whilst at the same time following a strict gluten and lactose free diet, taking daily pre/probiotic and omega supplements and staying out of the sun as best I could, baring in mind I was living in Italy!
