Do you will have any magnificence regrets?
This query happened after an extended dialogue with my neighbor about sunscreen! He’s honest skinned with purple hair, and he talked about how he regrets tanning when he was in his 20s and 30s. Now that he’s older, his pores and skin has solar harm that’s troublesome to cope with.
I by no means tried to actively tan, however I do want that I wore sunscreen constantly at an earlier age. After I was a child, I used to be exterior on a regular basis, particularly in the summertime, and sometimes for hours on finish. The solely time I wore sunscreen, although, was after we went to the seaside or the lake. Loopy! And after I began sporting sunscreen day by day, it wasn’t till school.
Anywho, magnificence regrets. Listed below are a few of mine in no explicit order!
- Not sporting sufficient sunscreen at a youthful age and never usually sufficient
- Plucking my brows to oblivion within the ’90s
- Aggressive tugging on my eyelids to use make-up, particularly eyeliner
- Believing I “wanted” to contour my nostril to make it straighter; this went on for some time and in I’m glad I discovered my manner out of it as a result of it wasn’t doing any favors for my psychological well being
However by far the largest remorse just isn’t actually actually appreciating what I had on the time, as a result of my goodness, I see footage of myself after I was youthful and may’t imagine I had that a lot collagen. (Or hair, for that matter.) If I might, I’d return in time and provides Child Karen a giant previous hug, and inform her that she 1) doesn’t really want all that concealer, and a couple of) she’s going to be simply effective.
Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
Karen
