THE IDEA ‘Make peace with your skin’ builds on the insight that living with a skin condition is like being at war with the skin you live in. Targeting the mental stress and anxiety caused by the physical condition is the key to physical recovery. It's only when you reach acceptance and 'make peace with your skin' that the healing can begin.
