THE THICK SKIN COLLECTION
THICK SKIN Skin is your identity. It is how you are known, the pigment you bare or the marks that make your skin you. Flexures of charred pink and red that take charge of your skin surface, a pattern or print that takes hold. Hands are always exposed: they are constantly on show and everyday they are our most important tools. My hands burn, they itch, they crack and soothing them is sometimes impossible; slathering your skin in thick creams never seems to work. Exhausting every avenue to try and heal and repair skin that you never asked to be broken, the only fix that works is to burn your skin further with rays of UV light that could be more harmful than good, then in a final act of attempted solace hiding under layers of fabric to protect the broken and hurt skin. Healing the skin takes a lifetime or it cannot be healed at all but compared to heeling the self-confidence of a person that is a constant battle. Ugly, broken, exposed, hide I cant face anyone seeing my hands they will think they can catch it too. Be happy with the skin you are in, you are beautiful and this is only skin deep.
