Wow, you live in one amazing area. I have tried many masks too. The charcoal makes your skin so soft.
Does it snow a lot there? We have 3 to 4 months of snow.
Be kind to everyone!

Sometimes it snows, certainly on the hills and mountains during winter.
Think we get about 1 to 3 months a year, depending on region and elevation.
But it's mainly just dark, damp, and dismal in the cities.
I mean, Scotland is beautiful, with some fantastic architecture and spectacular scenery.
But the weather is somewhat hit and miss.

A mask would help with your weather. When I come visit I need a tour lol. In all the photos I have seen it looks beautiful

I have never had a deep fried Mars bar, but I have enjoyed haggis, scotch, and Scottish rock music. I also took the train to Scotland once by accident. I was in my twenties n was supposed to go home to Lancaster from the Lake District but I went the wrong way. oops.

I also use 1% Hyaluronic acid solution under my eyes which helps with dry skin and moisturizing.
I actually did quite a bit of research on Hyaluronic acid, and the evidence actually does show it has some benefits on skin. It is in some skin care products. We actually produce it in our bodies if we do not consume foods that inhibit the enzymes that make it. We kind of wash it off with soap and showers, so replenishing it is necessary if you have to shower often for work...or of course consume too much of the inhibitors of the enzymes that produce it. Meat contains some of this if you eat meats, don't off hand know which ones are better than others, and do not know the heat stability of it when cooking the meat....so basically, meat might or might not be bio-available for the compound.
It is also part of the liquid that lubricates our joints, something like sinovial fluid...not sure how to spell that. I guess it is also in some parts of our digestive tract walls to help to repair that too. I researched that about four years or more ago I think, so doing this by memory, do not trust that I am explaining it correctly.
Since this compound is naturally in our bodies and we produce it, I figured it probably would not be negative to use it on the skin....but I will not say it is completely safe, because if you do it too often, our body will possibly reduce the kind of cells that make this fluid...so you could become dependent on using it. The human body is very complex, so are the makings of all animals and plants, and we only know a little about how things completely work, and I study lots of this in depth. We think we are smart, but like anything, if you change a little thing, the response of the body and it's enzyme creation is effected most times.
I did not find a lot of research back then to learn how to stimulate the production of hyaluranic acid or which ways boost the production of it or inhibit the compound from being sucreted in the skin. It needs to be excreted by the cells to get to the skin, and we seem to make all kinds of chemistries to block the excretion and stop the moisture and smell of the compound coming out with it...I guess smelling good and not showing sweat is more important than having healthy skin in this world.
I wonder if walking and exercising steers the compound to the joints for lubrication and away from the skin?

I get some bumps on my skin from eating tomatoes in food or eating oranges too much. The benzoic acid seems to be something I am not good at detoxing so I get hives. If I eat tomatoes one meal a week, no problem, I can handle that all right. Same with oranges, on occasion, I get no bumps. But any more than that...I get problems. Also, two meals...leftovers...and I start getting intestinal problems too.
I thought my intolerance was rare, but it is not that rare. Even in Italy, about a third of the population does not eat tomatoes because of similar symptoms. From Northern Europe, it is a little higher, maybe thirty five percent. It is an intolerance, not an allergy I guess, an inability to get rid of certain benzine compounds.
I learned about my intolerance and those hives over fifty five years ago from a girl who went to see a specialist. She was in my class, that was about nineteen seventy. Her problems went away from eliminating tomatoes, oranges, and other things, I learned from her how to fix my problems by talking to her while walking to school with her. So, I only eat things with tomatoes if it is worth it, it better be good. I used to love oranges till I found that it ws effecting my face and corners of my mouth just like eating lots of tomatoes does.
I am writing this because you guys should consider if you are having similar problems to try to identify if it is the problem. You have to do it yourself.
I got a similar problem when I drank a little gas trying to fill the lawnmower from my sixty nine mustang, a friend, my foreman at work, told a joke while I was siphoning it and I swallowed a couple of mouthfulls. I had to go to the medical unit at Kohler where they gave me an antidote for benzene poisoning. Had to drink a quart of milk there, and they gave me a ride home. It is good my forman was there, it was an excused abscence and I used my sick leave too. The guys working on my production line teased me about that for weeks.

I use it about once a week.
Helps with the dark and dry skin under my eyes.
As far as i can establish, Hyaluronic acid is generally safe unless you have allergies.
Side effects with anything, all the same, depending on the person.

Haggis is the dog's bollocks.
Never tried a deep-fried Mars Bar.
Got on a few wrong trains all the same back in my student days.
