When I was young, I believed that beauty was a derivative of what society valued. Perfection meant beauty. Beauty meant perfection. Oh boy, was I wrong! And if I could go back and talk to 15 year old me, I would have a lot to say!
As I aged and became hungry for knowledge, I soon came to realise that how I felt towards ‘beauty’ was not about them. It was about me and how I valued myself and my own self-worth. Once I became confident and was taking care of myself by creating healthy habits, I was happy.
Traditionally it is believed that a habit can be created in only 21 days. And finding your skin joy, is all about creating healthy habits. This includes:
1. Getting Started
Good Skin habits need to be encouraged from as young as 8 years or when you start to see significant changes in your youth's appearance due to hormonal changes and or the start of puberty.
The earlier you start the better because prevention is better than cure.
On the flip side, If you are already in your mid-twenties or older, and yet to have a solid skincare routine in place, you just need to get started! Make it a non-negotiable. Just like cleaning your teeth every morning and night or drinking water - make your skincare a daily essential
2. Be consistent
Consistency is key to finding your skin joy. Good skin, takes time. Its
not an overnight success. Be patient and ensure you give the products time to work their magic. Depending on your skin type or concerns, you can see results anywhere from a day to a month away. Don’t give up, You've got this!
3. Protect your skin.
If you could only choose one product you could use for the rest of your life, make sure you choose sunscreen. Again, prevention is better than cure and SPF is the number one anti-ageing product you can use. Wear it everyday for the rest of your life. Inside, Outside, Summer and Winter.
4. Keep Hydrated
Hydrated skin is healthy skin. From drinking your H2O to avoiding products that strip the skin, your skin needs moisture to keep it plump and wrinkle free.
With these simple yet strategic skincare tips, you will be on your way to finding your skin joy in no time.
