Let us talk about the confidence side
We focus a lot on the physical, but a cold sore at the wrong moment, a date, a photo, a big meeting, can knock your confidence hard. That part does not get talked about enough. If you are comfortable, share a moment it got in the way, and how you handled it. No judgement here.

How long after the first tingle do you usually have before it shows?
Saving this. The morning habit is the part I keep forgetting.
Great thread, learning a lot here.

Thank you for saying it is a prevention problem. I spent years just reacting to them.
Great question, I have wondered the same thing.
The morning SPF habit was the single thing that cut mine down.
