A List Of Skin Care Don’ts

Everyday I look in the mirror, a surge of pride runs through me for having the foresight to take care of my skin early. Thanks to Peggy Lipton I can forgo all the extra hoopla required to maintain my youthfulness. Barefaced I look like a teenager, not a line or sag in sight. What few blemishes I have guarantees I’ll be carded, looking closer to 18 than 40. For those of you in search of extra ways to enhance your skin, here’s a list of don’ts. I switched from wipes to cotton balls and micellar water, I NEVER pop zits, I let my skin breathe over slathering it in makeup and I quit cigarettes 9 years ago. My daily routine is minimal af. Remember, it’s better to prevent than treat. Via: KaribbeanGlow

Skin Sinners Repent!

Guilty of one thing and one thing only, not washing my makeup brushes. I use to do it religiously, but I fell off a little bit. I also don’t wear that much makeup, certainly not as much as I use to. I’m officially going to end this bad habit! Starting today! Um actually tomorrow, I have to buy new cleaner at Sephora…totally lost mine. Furthermore I can’t stress the importance of NOT TOUCHING YOUR FACE, unless your hands are washed. Lauren habitually screamed at me for years, “STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE, STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE,” pulling my hand away each time. Not only did it make me aware of how often my dirty hands were clogging my pores, it gave me a complex. On some Pavlov’s dog type shit, I hear her voice, moving back when others attempt to touch my face as well. I mean you touch this, you touch that, you hold the subway rail, all that seeping into my pores? I’ll pass. Thank you Lauren, a lesson learned forever. Are you a skin sinner? Via: SkinCareGem
