Skincare And Remembrance of Teen Angst

Skincare And Remembrance of Teen Angst

Another Family Anecdote: in an elevator with The Kid when she was about 12, friendly stranger comments, “Ah, the complexion of the young!” The Kid looks at us all like we’re insane.

Skincare Then, Skincare Now
Looking back on our teen years, now, we can see that all that oilyness and occasional pimply-ness was the essence of life, hormonal blooming, a lovely event, in fact. Skincare then was trying to stop the moisture; skincare now is trying to get it back.

Skincare Then, Skincare Now
In fact, right about now is the time when our skin really is at its best – pimples gone, mostly, and the dryness of middle- and old-age in the future. Though it’s a time to enjoy, it’s also a time to prepare.

To some degree, as we age, our skin will lose some elasticity and firmness, but we do have some control over how much and how soon; we have control over our own skincare regimen.

Skincare Now:
.Drink lots of water
.Eat well – high fiber
.Stop smoking!
.Use high-quality skincare products – daily!
..cleanser
..toner
..moisturizer

It’s all a lovely event, in fact: crazy hormones in youth winding down to lovely adulthood and a handsome old age. Proper skincare really is a big part of the process.
