Your skin will never be PERFECT
Hey guys,
Thereβs good news and thereβs bad news. The bad news β if you want to call it bad news β is that thereβs no such thing as perfect skin. Despite what magazine covers and ads for expensive creams and concoctions might lead you to believe, the concept of having flawless skin is a myth. You will never be able to achieve skin as smooth as porcelain because, well, youβre not porcelain. Youβre a human with human skin and human imperfections.
The good news is that striving for what you may believe to be perfect skin is completely unnecessary. The best thing you can do is to take care of your skin and take care of yourself. Abolish the notion of perfection and accept your skin for the amazing organ that it is.
It can all sound a bit cliche after a while. βLove yourself, love your skin, take care of your body and your mind.β But ditching the quest for perfect skin in lieu of doing whatβs best to keep your skin healthy can have positive outcomes all around. The way you feel about yourself can impact your life and your health, for better or worse. So forget about trying to eliminate every line, pore, freckle and spot from your face. Focus on taking the best care of yourself and your skin that you can, and an errant zit or well-earned laugh line wonβt make a lick of difference.
Just as you develop a routine to keep your skin healthy, you can develop a routine to keep your self-image healthy. Take time for yourself, focus on your achievements and remember that, as cliche as it sounds, what makes you beautiful is not marble-smooth skin. What makes you beautiful is taking care of mind, body and soul so you can be the best possible version of your uniquely gifted self.
