The new deodorant I was trying gave me boils, so now I’m on antibiotics, not allowed to wear any deodorant, & get to shower 2-3 times per day. Sensitive skin is so frustrating! 😭

You can make your own - Coconut oil (get the organic cold pressed kind), baking soda without aluminum and your preferred essential oil(s). It works wonders.
Also, look into bentonite clay powder, might be something you find useful
You should get checked out for HS and/or polycystic ovaries. Both can cause nasty breakouts in your underarms and bikini area. I have pcos and my doc told me it was related.
Actually was recently checked for both! All clear thankfully. My body is still getting used to having balanced hormones & my dr said that maybe what worsened it. I’ve had issues with natural deodorants in the past, but never something like Secret. The antibiotics fixed it thankfully!
Took 10 years of infertility & dealing with those meds, followed by back to back pregnancies for my body to start behaving again. I don’t recommend my course of action 😅
I couldn't live anywhere really hot. I can't take the heat. It's worse since menopause. Hot flushes all the time for no reason. I need to be in the shade, covered in sunscreen or near a fan. Very fair skinned & Scottish.
My mother is the same way as you. Just melts in the heat. The cold makes me flare badly, so I’m stuck living in hot climates. Oh well, at least the beaches are nice here I suppose.
I love beaches too. Just needs to be a cooler day. I'm the same, cold rainy weather makes me flare too. It's freezing temps here in London but I'm still having hot flushes. Crazy
Oh burr!! 🥶
I’m from Seattle originally, so I know all about cold, rainy, nasty weather…
Anything below 70f starts being problematic for me. Add grey skies & my SAD kicks in horribly. The tropics are my ideal climate & I’ve been fortunate enough to live in it for a while. I do miss seeing snow
I'm more of a moon worshipper than a sun worshipper.
Was once told I look weird with a tan. So now I don't bother trying, just stay pale and interesting as Billy Connolly says 👍

That’s the last time I try something new because it smells nice. 😒
I'm jealous 😊
Wish I had balanced hormones.
Mine are all over the place.
