This is totally underrated. To me skincare has always been an index of if I was feeling good or bad. For instance, I haven’t been able to care for my skin for over a year now and that’s part of how stressed I am.
If your skin feels fresh and clean you get to feel way more better.
I have a very different experience with make up. To me is like a purse. It has never been about covering something or looking different/better. I just love to use it to match my outfits, when and how I like to. And it has always been like that. For years I had an addiction to buying lipsticks, though. I got greens/blues/glitters and even pearls to be added. What matters the most to me is that I never felt discomfort, even though I knew I could enter a place and find people troubled with my lips being dark green with 🍃 pictured.
I really believe one of the most difficult things in life is expressing yourself without caring of what other’s will think of it. And that we should value how even not doing anything is an expression of intents. Thank you for sharing!
