YES YES YES YES I THINK I WILL IMAGINE THAT

aka how I trick my skin into acting like I drink 8 glasses of water and mind my business 💅

1. Double cleanse even if you didn’t wear makeup. Dirt and stress cling too.

2. Apply skincare to damp skin — it absorbs better, like a sponge not a brick.

3. Satin pillowcases. Cotton who? Satin keeps your skin smooth and unbothered.

4. SPF. Even. Indoors. Yes the sun still finds you through your window.

5. Green tea ice cubes = de-puffing magic. Just glide them on a tired face.

6. Slugging with Vaseline at night? A little goes a long way. Hydration heaven.

7. Exfoliate gently, not angrily. Your face isn’t mad at you, don’t scrub like it is.

8. Hydrating toners > astringent toners. You’re not in a 2007 Clean & Clear commercial.

9. Eye cream on smile lines, too. Why not? They’re just little baby wrinkles.

10. Use a separate towel for your face. Because bacteria is sneaky.

11. Don’t skip moisturizer if you’re oily. Oily ≠ hydrated.

12. Clean your phone screen. You’re basically pressing a dirty mirror to your cheek.

13. Weekly sheet masks while romanticizing your life = self-care & skin-care.

14. Niacinamide + hyaluronic acid = glass skin cocktail.

15. Steam your face over a bowl of hot water once in a while, add herbs if you’re fancy.

16. Don’t forget neck & chest. Your skincare shouldn’t stop at your jawline.

17. Use cold spoons on puffy eyes. It’s giving spa day on a broke baddie budget.

18. Patch test new products. We’re too old for surprise face rashes.

19. Retinol = slow & steady. Start once a week, then build up. No chemical burns here.

20. Consistency > perfection. One lazy night won’t ruin you. Just keep showing up for your skin 💗

How to turn negative self talk into strenght

˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

Negative self talk it's one of the thickest walls that prevents you to archive self love and confidence, I occasionally suffer from it, but with time I started understanding how it works and how to reverse it, with time and practive you can be able to block it whenever it presents

୨୧understand where it comes from୨୧

Most of the times negative self talk it's an interiorized voice from past criticism from childhood that comeback after a triggering situation, such as not properly doing your job, understanting why it's coming up in that moment and envirioment can help you invalidate the negative self talk and distinguish it from constructive criticism.

୨୧"Will these feelings help me reach my goals?"୨୧

This is a good question, negative self talk can often stunt your growth and worsen you situation , when you are in this position you need to remmeber that thinking negatively of youself it's not going to erase all the mistakes made prior, and that you eventually need to come up with a solution.

୨୧remember you deserve to make mistakes୨୧

It's part of experiencing and growing, shit talking yourself, won't make any sense, cause you wuold probably forgive somebody else real fast it they did the same mistake as you, what makes you think you don't deserve that same treatment?

୨୧Find a way to calm yourself୨୧

Most of the times negative self talk comes from anxiety, to shut it down you can try breathing exercise, physical exercise, a mask, a flower bath, any type of self love activity and then ask yourself "if I was so horrible would I have done this to me?", yes, you do deserve it because those negative voices in tour head are just lying.
