Beauty Tips For Body Care
So, late last year I found myself homeless. I spent the holidays and pretty much up until now on the streets and there really wasn't anyway to keep up with a full on beauty routine (I was lucky to eat 2 meals a day). Up until that point, I had been doing a multilayered routine for three years. I would wear sunscreen even if I was staying in. I would regularly use BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, Vitamin C, clay masks, the fiddy technique, AHAs, differin and pretty much anything else this sub swear by.I had always joked that I would be the first to die in an zombie apocalypse because without my skin care the amount of acne I had would make someone mistake me for a zombie and kill me. Obviously, it was a joke but I really believed that my acne would return with a vengeance if I didn't use all my skin care each night. So imagine my surprise when I'm living on the streets and every now and then I'd get a glimpse of my face and see that my face looked normal, despite it having been over a two weeks since I had even splashed water on my face. One time, I went a full month without showering (gross, I know) and after about 4 days my face just stopped producing excess oil. For once in my life, it felt my skin was on my side and it wasn't something that was trying to sabotage me that I had to work against to discipline!I know everyone is dealing with quarantine in different ways and I just wanted to share my story in case there was anyone who felt bad about skipping their routine. Or, if there are people contemplating breaking social distancing orders for skin care items. It's not worth it! Anyway, I hope you all stay safe during this time!
