Beauty Tips For Body Care
During my routine, I can be so scrutinizing and downright cruel to myself. I get so close to the mirror and use up so much energy to tear myself down. I focus on everything that I don't like. I often end my routine stressed, ashamed, and angry at myself and my skin.Almost every night I tell my boyfriend about my skin woes, ask him if he notices this "spot" or "scar," etc. He's of course super sweet and loving about it all, but I'd rather not go through this insecure dance.The truth is that my skin is leaps and bounds happier than it was when I started my skincare journey. But, as many of us do, I have this unattainable and totally ridiculous idea of "perfect" skin, and somewhere inside I feel that I am not ENOUGH unless I attain that "perfect" skin. It's gotten obsessive and painful. I feel a lot of us have a form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Sometimes this sub can feed that obsessive, toxic cycle.So tonight I put my dim blue light bulb into the bathroom, an idea I saw on this sub a while ago. I'm also trying to keep a greater distance between myself and the mirror. I just want to stop being so mean to myself. So hopefully this is a gentle start.I'm happy to say that my routine was a lot less emotionally painful than usual. I also went through my routine in half the time I usually take.Sending out a the love and positive affirmations to my SCA community. You guys are awesome and beautiful inside and out. Please remember to be gentle with yourselves. We all deserve it.
