I spent an unhealthy amount of time researching facial moisturizers today.
I will admit that I neglect to care for my skin as I should. I don't cleanse everyday, unless you count soap and water when I shower and in the morning (please don't leave this as your only option, it dries your skin to sandpaper). I have an excellent frothy face wash from Origins that I don't use nearly enough. I do not exfoliate weekly as I should. This leaves my face available for all kinds of germy parties to take place in my pores. I haven't used a toner in a decade. Yes, a decade. I always felt it would rid my skin of essential oils... I've read otherwise lately. And by far my worst neglect are moisturizers and uv protection. I had oily skin growing up... not putting moisturizer on made "sense" to me.
But now I'm on the latter part of my 20's and have started to see (and feel) a change in my skin. Tightness after I wash it. Slight lines at the corners of my eyes when I smile. It looks dull. I look tired. I look OLD.
I never wear make up anywhere except when I go out at night... I was hoping to continue looking young enough into my 30's to continue this trend. It seems to me my plan may have to change a bit.
So today I spent an unhealthy amount of time researching facial moisturizers. I've come to the conclusion that this will not turn back the hands of time but at least it will help slow down the clock a bit.
Because there is no fucking way I'm going to start looking old this early.
