Hi, you are “face to face with Shell”.
You can either watch this video or read on:
I want to give you a little insight into why I have decided to start up my website and YouTube channel.
When I was first burned, I felt that there was not a lot of aftercare; in that, after discharge, I was given back to my parents/family/friends and we all more or less just had to get on with it.
I want to help people, through my own experiences. I want to try and help people to deal with what has happened; being specific more to burns (as this is what happened to me) but this is for everyone and anyone who has been affected in anyway through burns/disfigurement/altered body image but I would hope that everyone could gain from my website/channel.
I will give information through text and videos.
I want to give people helpful and useful information, show what products and strategies helped me.
I also will try and fill in the gaps; what I mean is: I was given a huge amount of help from family and friends but there wasn’t a lot of professional emotional/practical aftercare support at the time, once I was discharged from hospital; i.e., how to cope with being burned/disfigured. I want to try and address what is missing and hopefully help fill these gaps in some way.
You can change your hair or clothes maybe…but your skin? I want to help you to come to terms with your scars/disfigurement, not just by covering them up.
I will also look at the products that helped me. It took me years, for example, to find the right foundation/make-up to help “camouflage” my scars, so hopefully through my experiences, I can help you to find the right products for you, a lot more quicker.
We’ll speak soon.
