Healthy Skin is Always in {Self Care = Self Love}

I get a lot of questions about my skin care routine all the time. I love skin care, make up and I’m all about getting dolled up & the pretty photo filters. However, there is also something so refreshingly beautiful about being comfortable in your own bare skin & seeing other women do & feel the same about themselves. I myself am striving to go at least once a week w/o make up to give my skin the chance to breathe & to help normalize embracing your natural beauty. I hate that most women feel the need to apologize if they run into someone while out running errands and they don’t have make up on. Or that your co-workers would think something was wrong or you must have had a rough morning if you chose to not wear make up that day to the office.

With that being said I wanted to do a blog post and share some new skin care tools + products I’ve been using the last few weeks or longer and loving. But first, I’m going to keep wanted to keep it real & share some of my own skin insecurities with y’all here.

1. Society tells us freckles are only cute when you’re a little girl. Once you become a grown women they are no longer known as freckles but ‘age’ or ‘sun spots’ & definitely aren’t seen as cute. In the summertime my natural freckles pop out all over my face no matter how much spf I use & I’m learning to embrace them instead of try to make them disappear with brighten creams.

2. Enlarged pores, I have them & it seems like more & more pop up all the time.

3. My lips are always chapped & pealing no matter what time of the year it is. I’ve tried every chapstick out there from 97 cents to $40. I’ve used Vaseline & coconut oil, sugar scrubs, etc.

4. I have broken capillaries around my nose.

5. My face is not symmetrical, the left side of my face is higher up than my right side. Bc of this I rarely take straight on photos but when I do, you can look at my eyebrows & the creases in my eyelids & easily see the left side higher & the right side appears droopy or hooded.
