How soft is your skin?

-

My skin is very soft. I don’t have freckles but my twin sister does. Once I played with my friend and I fell in my doll’s bed. Then it broke and a sharp nail popped out! It scratched my knee. Now, I have a long scar on my knee. Helen Lattermann, Grade 2, St. George’s School of Montreal I have a scar on my leg because I fell on the floor at my friend Meredith’s house. Sarah Rouleau, Grade 1, William Latter School The skin on my hands gets chapped in winter. I have to put cream on it. I have no scars and I never had stitches. Eliane Vincent- Allard, Grade 1, William Latter School My skin is very sensitive. I have freckles. I always have to use sunscreen. Emily Bombardier, Grade 1, William Latter School When I was 4 years old, I fell against the corner of the wall and now I have a scar on my lip. I don’t burn in the sun, I tan. Naomie Doucet, Grade 1, William Latter School I have freckles. My skin is soft. I don’t have any scars. Ana Louisa Collazo, Grade 2, William Latter School I have a scar on my leg because I was walking in the woods and a piece of wood cut me. I also have soft skin — no freckles. May Ann Abbeloos, Grade 2, William Latter School My skin does not have that many freckles. I do have about four scars. Once, I was camping and we were roasting marshmallo­ws. My brother caught his on fire and it fell onto my arm. There is a scar from that. Curtis Rahman, Grade 6, Royal Vale School In the winter, I don’t really use cream for my skin. I’ve had a lot of scars from falling and tripping. Once, I had to get my head glued back together from walking into a sharp edge. Roberto Lato, Grade 6, Royal Vale School I do not use cream, so my skin is rough. I have got scars when my cat scratched or bit me. I also have scraped and skinned my knee while I was mountain biking. Zachary Germain, Grade 6, Royal Vale School My skin is very sensitive. I was born with terribly dry skin. I have eczema so that doesn’t help at all. I need to use lotion every night for my elbows, legs and hands. My hands crack no matter how hard I try to moisturize them. Jaimie Pascal, Grade 6, Royal Vale School I have freckles on my skin, but not too many. They are mostly on my face except for a few on my arm. I do have some scars. One of them was from when I went berry picking and fell. All of the spikes on the plants scratched me and then I made it worse by rubbing it on the grass. Marlee Bickerdike, Grade 6, Royal Vale School My skin is very soft. I use hand cream to keep it this way. When I was younger, I got stitches on the back of my hand. I have lots of freckles near my nose and under my eyes. Ashley Kastner, Grade 6, Royal Vale School You should put cream on when your skin is dry. I use a creamy oil before putting cream on. It makes it easier to apply. You should probably get a small bottle of cream for your hands. You could carry it around because your hands get very dry in the winter. Monica Broomfield, Grade 6, Royal Vale School I need to use cream in winter because I have very delicate skin that has eczema. I only get freckles in the summer though. I once split open my chin and had to get it stuck back together. I still have the scar! I get scars all the time. Charlotte Morris, Grade 6, Royal Vale School
