It's part of Karina Irby's job as a bikini designer to test out the latest swimsuits down by the beach.
And for someone who suffers from severe eczema like she does, flare-ups can have disastrous consequences for your self confidence - particularly when you're baring all to thousands of fans.
Luckily the 29-year-old from the Gold Coast has been open online about the two-ingredient 'unicorn bath' she soaks in to help diminish the dry and itchy skin.
In a recent skin episode Karina tentatively shared a snap of her red and raw legs, as well as a photo of what they looked like two weeks later.
And the difference is startling.

'I have to soak in a bath whenever I can to help kill the natural bacteria I have on my skin,' Karina wrote about the bath water previously.
'For people without skin conditions it's fine, BUT bacteria and natural staph can cause flare ups for my eczema.
'I have to try and keep my natural bacteria to a minimum.'
The first addition to Karina's bath is pure coconut oil, which she says keeps her skin hydrated.

According to the bikini designer (pictured), potassium permanganate crystals, which you can 'pick up from your local chemist for less than $20', could be the answer
The most important ingredient is potassium permanganate, a chemical compound which kills bacteria on the skin's surface as well as in cuts and burns.
'You only need a tiny little bit [of potassium permanganate] - the goal is a soft pink bath.
'If it turns purple, you have done too much and it can turn your nails pink,' she cautioned.

Karina recommended soaking in the solution for between 10 and 20 minutes, and added there is no need to wash off after use.
'Just moisturise yourself and get on with your day or evening - done!
'I hope this helps a few of you too.'

It's not the first time the businesswoman has documented her struggle with the skin condition on social media.
'I can't believe I'm even publicly posting this,' she previously shared, alongside another photograph of her legs before and after using the crystals.
'This is a big deal for me and I even contemplated NOT sharing my three week eczema transformation out of pure embarrassment.'
However, in spite of her shame, the 29-year-old said she decided to because of her own experience as a teenager, 'struggling with my skin', without any help.
Karina went on to say that she was 'recently educated by a clinical dermatologist' who told her that she had allowed her eczema to 'evolve into a chronic, severe condition'.

Karina went on to say that she was 'recently educated by a clinical dermatologist' who told her that she had allowed her eczema to 'evolve into a chronic, severe condition'.
'I was pretty upset and shocked that I'd let that happen,' she said.
'Honestly, I was just uneducated and didn't know how to treat my skin properly.'
Since she shared the photograph on Instagram the bikini designer (pictured) has received a wave of support, with others saying they can't wait to try the crystals

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
