My Tinder Date Blocked Me After Seeing My Skin | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

DAISY does not remember life without the "severe eczema" she experienced growing up and was prescribed steroids as treatment for "as long as [she] can remember" - until the steroids stopped working when she was 25 years old. When truly filmed with Daisy just over a year ago, she was almost a year into what she suspected at the time was Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), as she attempted to go natural and let her skin heal itself. She now has an official TSW diagnosis - and she explained to truly how the withdrawal from her treatment has affected her: "The way steroids work is you put them on and the redness goes away, but when you stop using them, it comes back with a force. I was red raw." She now describes her skin as "unpredictable" and has to adapt her daily skincare to whatever symptoms she experiences day-to-day. Daisy's symptoms have often drawn the attention of others - and she says she is "used to" people making comments about her skin in public. This carried over into her dating life when she joined dating apps - with one person on Tinder pressing Daisy to give him her Instagram. When she eventually did, she noticed "30 seconds later" that she had been "unmatched." With some "terrible" dates under her belt, Daisy matched with Alexander and suddenly everything changed. Alexander remembers how, after their first date, Daisy had a flare up and was "trying to not meet up" and offer him "an out" - but Alexander did not allow Daisy to push him away and was soon "running baths, making teas, going to the shop five times a day for bath salts" for her. Daisy's relationship has made her life "almost normal" and although she still faces "struggle and pain" on a daily basis, Daisy now feels that her skin is "the least interesting thing" about her and she has learned to embrace her newfound body positivity: "Body acceptance for me is about just being happy... And not worrying about what other people think. If you're happy with yourself there should be no problem."
