Sorry you, like so many others, have ...Hi Johanna, <br />Sorry you, like so many others, have to deal with this horrid TSW! I have seen people do both...cold turkey, and MW on different parts of the body at different times. For me, I went cold turkey on the majority of my body - except my neck. That was my worst painful area throughout my ordeal. I had to wait to do MW on my neck for another month or so until I had the will and the time to do nothing at all for 4-5 days. I would suggest MW on the large areas of your body least affected by MW and save the worst areas for last if going MW on your whole body scares you, <br />As for the tub/shower thing. For me taking dead sea salt baths or even plain water baths were torture for me....the water always burned. Now with MW, I no longer need a bath as my skin is very strong even though I still have excoriated areas. I noted that when I used more water on my skin, the skin became softer and more macerated. So in my experience, too much water was detrimental. So showers or quick washes in the tub do well for me. <br />As for oil on your face, I have heard that Jojoba oil is really close in nature to the actual oils our skin produces. I bought some and have used a small amount here and there on cracked areas that hurt - it actually doesn't cause a reaction like I've had with any other oil or moisturizer....I get no blisters or macerated skin. I may use a bit more here and there to experiment with but for now I literally use a 1-2 drops every few days if that. I also know some people have good results with coconut oil. <br />Let me know if you have any more questions!

I'm thinking of doing mw as well, my skin just get worse now as soon as I apply anything on it. But my concern is my face: can I do mw on my body but put some oil on my face? Or is it better to stop cold turkey with M? And I don't have a bathtub is that going to be a 'problem'? Is it ok with just showers? Wow many questions, hope you have time to reply...<br />Thank you !
