These Tweets About The Struggles Of Skin Care Are Really Clearing Things Up
What is it that some ladies struggle with the most, you ask? Is it being broke? Maybe. Is it not having that special someone? That does suck. But nothing will be as infuriating as trying to find the perfect skincare routine.
I just know that all my troubles would melt away if only my skin could be perfect. But the struggle is too real, and these people are speaking all of our truths.
There Has To Be One, Right?
Having a good skincare routine is about more than just your skin. It's about how far you've made it in life. I don't think you can be a successful adult until you have mastered a skincare regime.
If Only It Were That Easy.
If one more person tells me that being stressed is bad for my health, and that stress pimples are a thing, I'm going to lose it. Stop stressing me out about being stressed!
The Reasons Are Endless.
When you wake up and come face-to-face with a new juicy pimple on your face, you take a moment and wonder, where did it all go wrong? What did I do to let myself down like this?
It's Nice To Pretend.
I rarely feel as powerful as I do when I'm mixing up my Aztec Healing Clay mask. When I apply it, I like to imagine that it's sucking out all my personality flaws, as well as the oil in my skin.
People With Naturally Nice Skin?
Yes, they exist, and frankly, I don't want to hear from them. Don't rub your supple, poreless skin in my face, OK? Tea tree oil didn't do anything for me!
Good Lighting Is The Enemy.
Hear me out: yes, we need good lighting to take those fire Instagram pics, but how many times have you caught your own reflect in a window and felt good about yourself, only to be let down by the harsh light of reality?
There's No Way I'm Going Out.
Once my face has been washed and all my various creams and serums are put on, there is no chance that I will leave my couch. I'm not about to wash $80 of product off my face.
Confidence Is Key.
If you believe in something, it might come true someday. You know you put a lot of effort and time into the skin around your pimples, and that's all that matters.
Someone Knows The Secrets.
Any time there is someone out in the wild that has beautiful skin, I want to stop them and ask them what they do. But, then I get mad when they tell me they were just born that way.
Don't Get Too Cocky.
Your skin knows when you're playing fast and loose with your skincare routine and it's not going to stand for it. If you miss even one day of your hour-long regime it's game over.
Why Don't They Just Work?
In every woman's bathroom there is a basket full of discarded skincare products. They were expense, so we can't through them away, but they didn't work as promised. Foiled again by my own hopes and dreams!
Sometimes, The Breakouts Will Win.
It almost seems to happen when you have something important coming up. All of a sudden your pores are huge and you have puffy under eyes and acne as bad as you did as a teen.
Sometimes You Want To Give Up.
There is this time, at least once every few weeks, where I wonder why do I do this? Why do I waste my time when I still end up looking like a preteen?
Consistency Is Key.
I know we've joked about it, but staying consistent is key. You have to commit. Commit to your skincare routine like you wish that guy who doesn't even know you exist would commit to you.
It Might Take Some Time.
Who else hates hearing that it might take time to see results? In small print on my under eye cream, it says to use twice a day for six weeks to see results. I don't have that kind of time to wait around.
Sometimes It's Easy To Go Overboard.
Maybe if I apply three different kinds of face masks and exfoliate all in the same night, it will work faster. It only makes sense that a heavy layer of serum will do more than a light layer, right?
Don't Think Too Hard About It.
Don't let yourself fall into a thinking trap where you wonder when this all started. Where did it all come from? What did queens of the past use before Glam Glow? These are things you end up thinking about in a face mask.
Stop Bragging About Your Drugstore Skincare.
It's bumming me out. How nice for you that a $7 face wash and baby oil cures all your skincare woes. Meanwhile, I drink so much water I pee all the time and wash my face with $54 face wash and still struggle.
If You Have Good Skin, What Else Do You Need?
I take better care of my skin than any other part of my body, which may be why my skin won't clear up. But, that is neither here nor there.
Don't Let Anyone Interrupt You.
Skincare is self-care and don't let anyone take that away from you. Lock that bathroom door, put your phone on do not disturb and ignore absolutely everything and everyone for at least 15 minutes.
