My Skincare Journey: From neglect to reflect
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it is quite easy to overlook the little things that matter. For the longest time, taking care of my skin was one of those things that often got pushed aside. I’d wash my face whenever I remembered, put on some moisturiser, and would call it a day. Sunscreen was one of those things that would come out of my shelf only when I went swimming or maybe on a very sunny day. I evidently was a skincare rebel, guilty of neglecting my skin more often than I would like to admit. My skincare products started gathering dust while I jumped from one task to another, overwhelmed by the demands of adulting. As you can imagine, my skin paid the price for all of that.
But then I discovered the beauty of consistency, the magic of making skincare a daily ritual, and the incredible benefits it brought to my skin and life. Yes, I know it sounds a tad bit cliche, but hear me out as to why I think it was a game-changer.
It all started when I found this app that reminded me to drink water. I found it really silly when I downloaded it. In fact, I actually downloaded it as a joke. But then, I religiously drank water every time the reminder popped up on my phone. And two months later when I was retrospecting, I genuinely couldn’t believe how much of a change it had on my overall health. And that’s when I decided that maybe I could try this principle for my skin as well? I set up a daily reminder on my phone to give me the nudge to follow a regime and a few sticky notes on my mirror that would remind me what the steps are. It did feel a little odd, but I persisted.
Over time I began to see changes I never thought were possible. My skin started to respond to this newfound periodic ritual. It seemed as though my skin was thanking me with a natural glow, fewer breakouts, and a smoother skin texture. And somehow my glowing skin started boosting my confidence levels. The stress of daily life didn’t feel as overwhelming anymore. It was a small change — being more consistent and that act of self-love made a huge difference in my life. I did not just stop at skincare — I started being more consistent towards exercise and also ate mindfully.
It’s simple yet profound, consistency honestly became my magic wand. It is the unsung hero of my skincare journey. It is not just about applying products, it is about making a daily commitment to yourself and your skin. It is the key that unlocks the door to healthier, more beautiful skin. It’s the bridge between occasional skincare efforts and a lifelong skincare journey. It’s the ripple effect that extends much beyond your beauty regimen.
