Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi SCA,I’m struggling with having realistic expectations about my skin. I know I actually have good skin but I feel pressure to live up to an artificially perfect ideal.I am fair skinned and I get freckles easily. I used to spend a lot of time outdoors and didn’t wear sunscreen unless I had a risk of burning (like on long hikes in the sunshine). I felt beautiful and comfortable in my own skin even in the summer with no makeup. I miss feeling the sun on my skin and feeling joy. Now I don’t even enjoy the sun coming through the windows on a beautiful day because the sun is a deadly laser that’s going to make me ugly. (What an awful way to think & live).Somehow at 25 I have become more self conscious. I feel like this is the age when you should be growling out of that and accepting yourself. But I see Instagram models with milky white, unblemished skin over every inch of their body and I’m suddenly aware of the sun damage on my chest and forearms. Snapchat filters that blur my skin remind me of how much better I would look if only I had poreless skin and crazy long lashes.How do I change my way of thinking and learn to love the skin I’m in?
