Skincare tips

Don’t wash your face twice a day. Overwashing dries out your skin.

Double cleanse with oil based cleanser first before using a water based cleanser.

Don’t use products with fragrance or essential oils. It irritates the skin and cause premature aging.

Hydrate and moisturize the skin by applying moisturizer on a damp face. Good alternative to a hydrating mists as most mists contain fragrance and essential oils.

Don’t use facemasks and exfoliators too often. Use it about twice to thrice a week and moisturize afterwards. 

Always use SPF and reapply when needed.

Be patient and gentle with your skin.

Vanity VS Self-care

Why is it considered to be vanity when someone makes a conscious effort to groom themselves? Sure, this is not the vital part of life but it sure plays a huge part. Self-care does not only apply to external beauty but it extends to internal beauty, which involves your thoughts, values and character. Taking care of your external beauty is not superficial as it highly contributes to your self-confidence as well. It affects your daily mood, how you interact with others and how you motivate yourself in life. Self-care extends to enriching your moral values, maintaining your self-confidence and much more. There is more to what meets the eye. Judgement doesn’t equate to maturity, understanding others’ choice is mature. Arrogance and petulance won’t bring you anywhere, don’t use it to bring others down.

Social stigmas

Sometimes its frustrating not to be taken seriously. Its sad that in this day and age that favouritism still exists. Favouritism against gender, age, race, religion and even the colour of your skin. Truly its disgusting and toxic. Just because you fit in the “unfavourable” or “inferior” category, your voice is not heard or its disregarded. Opinions and mindsets have evolved for the better with time. However, these deep rooted social stigmas still exist till this day. Only with social acceptance and a healthy social life, we can function our best and uplift one another to pave a smooth pathway towards each other to success. Uplift and support one another. Spread love and diminish hate and negative judgement. Life is short so lets make the world a better place to live in.
