Beauty Tips For Body Care
I had a hard lesson today. For background, I’ve dealt with acne for over a decade. It’s my biggest insecurity. Looking in the mirror has been a terrible experience for years. I’ve looked at my pigmentation, scars, and pitted face for so long. And I’ve finally gotten in a position where I can afford to do treatments on my face, and I desperately have been doing them over and over. Never minding when it was, just the soonest that it was safest. I had a peel a few days ago, not paying attention to the fact that my friends party was supposed to be today. A party I’ve been looking forward to. I thought I could do both, but a peeling sensitive face just would not have done well in the sun. So I couldn’t go. If I had been okay having a skin treatment done a month from now, I wouldn’t have been so down that I had to miss out. But in the moment I was desperate to not look like this anymore. So desperate, that I missed out on life. Because I didn’t like how I looked. My point is that your skincare is important, but don’t let it interfere with living your life. I would have much rather have been spending time with my friends than having perfect skin. And I hate that the hatred for my skin has made me miss out.
