Beauty Tips For Body Care
Last night, I had a weird reaction to a sheet mask that I use regularly. It usually calms my skin and leaves me refreshed & dew-y, but this time it burned a bit. I woke up this morning and felt some bumps on one of my problem areas that’s hard to cover up/treat.Cue silent freak out, trying to figure out what products I have while I’m away from home to treat the bumps, worrying about how I’ll look at Christmas dinner, etc. All while still lying in bed in the dark, not even seeing if it’s as “bad” as I think... on Christmas morning.I don’t really like Christmas for a variety of reasons and deal with anxiety/seasonal depression on top of it. The last thing I need is to beat myself up over something that no one else is going to fixate on, that doesn’t change my value as a person.I’ve noticed lately that I’ve been spending a lot of energy on my appearance because it’s easier than addressing the beneath-the-surface pain. I’m deciding to let that go today. No drawing attention to the couple of imperfections on my otherwise smooth & clear skin. No complaining about how much weight I’ve gained or how I don’t like the holidays. I’m going to enjoy time with loved ones and put my best self forward. Vulnerability is a beautiful thing.I type this all out because it was a good mini-wake up call for me. I think a lot of us probably spend time scrolling through this subreddit looking for tips on how to perfect ourselves on the outside. Skin care is an awesome hobby and has done wonders for my mental health. And, the “addiction” in SkinCareAddiction can also go a little too far sometimes.Whether you’re celebrating today or not, I hope you are able to be kind to whatever face you are putting forward - this day and every other one!
