Looks matter to most people, but many confuse attractiveness with perfection. Although no one truly looks perfect all the time in every way, it is a belief supported by our media-driven culture. Just like with the shape of our bodies, we can’t control everything.The reality is, there’s a lot of skin shaming out there. Society shames wrinkles, acne, sun
– spots, eczema, the list goes on and on. We obsess about skin’s “flawlessness” and freedom from marks, while rarely obsessing about how amazing it is at protecting our entire body from the outside world.
Your skin is a beautiful, powerful, amazing part of your body that deserves to be nurtured, loved and celebrated while we’re still be allowed to get annoyed about a pimple or a mark or bump. It’s ok to not have a “woke up like this” instagram-perfect mark free face in the morning and still be a damn gorgeous. But the story doesn’t ends here. Accepting is just a small part of our skin journey. The major part is holding some space to love and appreciate what our skin does for us. And to be very honest, there’s a thin difference between appreciating our skin and harassing it.
We are only obsessed with perfection.
We expect too much from our skin that too in a short period of time. We don’t invest in routine skincare , and even if we do, we don’t stick to routines if they don’t show perfect skin like that of the retouched celeb pictures. But in reality perfection does not exist.
Everyone we see around us has their own skin problems, insecurities, things they feel they could improve. We may not realize this since we can’t hear people’s thoughts. But we don’t have to think our beautifully flawed skin is even perfect. We just need appreciate it by taking care of it without expecting it to change entirely but by protecting it, nourishing it, healing it and slathering it with love. And the sense of satisfaction and confidence we get when we give back to our skin is where happiness drops in
After all, skin is skin. And every skin is beautiful. Every color is beautiful. We just need to get happy about it by looking after it.
