My name is Melinda and I became really interested in skincare after I became disabled due to severe pain from a condition called Erythromelalgia and I also have small fiber neuropathy and fibromyalgia. I came a across r/diybeauty and was amazed that products could be made at home with real ingredients that didn’t come from the kitchen. I love learning about cosmetic chemistry and making products. It has really helped me with cope with my pain by keeping my mind busy.
