Beauty Tips For Body Care
I was walking to my car in a parking deck after class today and I ran into an old acquaintance. We walked and talked and she mentioned off handedly how smooth my skin looked. Not in comparison to before, not in response to something I said, just a genuine thought that she had. I was speechless and then cried when I got to my car. That's the first time anyone has ever complimented my skin, ever. I've been struggling with acne for years, ever since 5th grade, and I'm in college now. I finally perfected my skincare routine and while my pimples are now gone (a huge win), I still have a long way to go as far as scars. I've always hated my face so much because of my skin and it has always been the source of my self image issues, and I guess I'm just nitpicky but I really thought that my face still looked like shit and that everyone thought it did too.Sorry if this is such a random post but I'm just so so happy. I'm taking a few lessons away from this that I thought I'd share:You're always your own worst critic. Even if you think your skin is shit, you are always going to be the one 1 inch away from a mirror identifying every single pore and bump. Other people won't be focusing on it as harshly as you are.Try and compliment people more. This tiny comment that she probably thought nothing of meant the WORLD to me. It turned my entire day around and I am going to think of it for a long time. I am definitely going to try and give out more compliments, because chances are it'll brighten someone's perspective.
