Self confidence
Confidence is one thing that I have always struggled with. Now, don't get me wrong, I get a fair few compliments but all because someone is telling me something doesn't mean that I feel that way about my self. My two biggest insecurities are my boobs and my skin. I have also have really bad skin for as long as I can remember. I have a very oily t zone particularly which makes my makeup fade away after a while. But, slowly I have been finding a skin routine that suits my skin however this may not work for you.
Once a week, I apply the "Deep Down Detox Ultra Cleansing mud mask" which I bought from Boots. This particular one has the scent of citrus fruits which makes me feel like it's doing wonders on my skin. I also apply a Biore nose strip once a week to sort out any nasties on my nose. I find it very satisfying to see how smooth it can make my skin.
Every day after I have taken my makeup off with Garnier Micellar Water, I cleanse with Superdrugs Skinology Cleansing Lotion (discontinued!!!!) and then tone with Clearasil Refreshing Superfruit Toner. After all of this, I moisturise with Nivea Light Moisturising Day Cream.
This is the only way I'm keeping my skin as clear as it can be presently. I always thought that I didn't need to moisturise because I had oily skin whereas in reality I need to moisturise which in turn has lowered my oil production as my skin doesn't need as much to rehydrate it. This is a crucial bit of information that I never knew!
Now, for boobs it's a little bit different as you can't just make them grow. For so long now, I have hated the size of my boobs and maybe one day I will change it, who knows? But for now, I'm just learning to work with what I've got. At the end of the day, if someone really likes me, they won't care what I look like or if I decide to change something about my appearance and thats what matters to me more than anything. Judgements should not be made about someone without properly knowing that person. I mean, my mates know me and they call my boob 'pancakes' or 'acorns' and I've had to learn to go along with it because if you join in, it doesn't hurt as much.
I am slowly getting there. I still struggle with accepting compliments and I still don't like going out without makeup on unless I have to. But, my new job , where any makeup will melt off my face, has made me realise that people can be nasty and people will accept you if you can't even accept yourself?
