ME & SKIN FAIRYTALE

I feel the need to write this blog...

Let me introduce myself once again. First and foremost, I am a mother who, like any other, wants the best for her child. When it comes to care, I definitely swear by natural. Why natural? I think I have already written a lot on this topic, and even the birds outside are already chirping about the benefits of ingredients of natural origin.

I am a preschool teacher by training. In my eight years of working in a kindergarten with children with special needs and in a regular program, I have learned patience, love, acceptance and faith. I am most proud of the sense of empathy I have developed. Perhaps this was the essential advantage that led me to create the products that led me to open a company and the beginning of my SkinFairytale story, which is written together with me by YOU - satisfied users.

Once you're in the business world, you have to get stronger. Becoming stronger, because, let's be honest, is not easy. Of course, every path in life has its pros and cons. I myself am the type that often stops when I have negatives. I think about them, hesitate, look for solutions, ask myself questions, cry... Of course, I get up with the help of friends, supporters and family. My Light is my true light in life. And my partner is the strongest pillar that supports me in all situations. Without them, SkinFairytale would never come to life.

And to get to the point, which is why I'm actually writing this blog...

I am not a doctor, my knowledge is not of a pharmaceutical nature, I am not a healer and I am not a trained therapist. Everything I have learned has been taught to me by life, experience and of course my interest in nature and the desire to help people who find themselves in need with skin problems in themselves and their children. I never want my writings to come across as spitting on doctrine in the sense that I think they have no idea! I have no idea ;), but I have a soul: playful, kind, inquisitive, humble, sometimes stubborn. What would I give for all the knowledge that medicine has! Then I could move mountains.

Sometimes I feel bad because I can't express myself properly or professionally, which is what is expected of me now. Sometimes I simply can't turn in the right direction... I stop. Usually that's when I break down. Even though I'm not the mother of the children I see every day in the pictures you send me on FB or in my email, I break down. During lectures where there are children with severe skin conditions, such as RSS (RedSkinSyndrom), which I write about in one of my blogs, I cry inside. I can't afford real tears, nor do I want to shed them for the poor mother who sees me as a lifesaver. Not even for the child who looks at me with clear eyes and listens despite constantly scratching his skin because the air in the room is too hot and too dry, which is why he has to go outside during the lecture so he doesn't scratch until he bleeds. But the pain I feel then accompanies me for hours after I leave the lecture hall.

What I do is not just giving lectures and selling products. What I do and what I feel is much more.

When I started making therapeutic products, I wasn't thinking about making money (although it's impossible to live without it), but I really wanted to offer something that would make life easier for families. Of course, I can't help everyone. I just had to accept that. Even though I started making different ointments/creams and invested positive energy, time, and money into the recipes (which was a lot of money, of course, before I decided on the existing ingredients in the balms), I can't solve and help everyone with them.

Many of you call my balms miracle creams. I am grateful, but at the same time under pressure with a huge responsibility to the next parent who will turn to me for help. I have the feeling that many people expect more from me than I can offer them. My suggestions or advice are based solely on the experience gained from users, by reading other people's articles, with the help of Google and Facebook, through groups that deal with this topic, etc. But since a lot of the advice has turned out to be positive, I of course like to share it with the hope that it will help everyone. However, not all of them are supported by studies and the like.

For me, genuine common sense "farmer's wisdom" prevails most of the time, my grandmother says.

But because I know that it's hard for you to find your way around the flood of information, I've already written quite a few BLOGS for this purpose, and compiled FAQs, based solely on my beliefs and experiences, which may be useful to you. Every day I receive many emails and calls regarding advice, questions about proper care, and products.

The main healers are you, dear users, parents... so it would mean a lot to me if you would read these notes. They are written for YOU. This will not only make counseling easier for me, but it will also clarify many things for yourself. How much of what you read will be useful and taken into account depends only on you. But you are the main contributor to the whole change.

There are many of you who write to me that you have tried everything, spent a fortune, but nothing helps. You ask me if I can guarantee that my products will work for you. NO, unfortunately you will never hear or read that from me. To your regret or your happiness. You may find solutions in my products, they may not suit you. Then you will explore further. This is your path. You did not choose it, but it is meant for you. I want you to walk on it more easily with the help of my advice and products. Believe in yourself, in your personal strength and desire!

...make your skin come true!
