CONSISTENCY COUNTS
Today I want to talk about the importance of CONSISTENCY!!!! Specifically, consistency in using your skincare routine. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. and EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. Believe me I get it, mornings can be hectic with breakfast, preparing lunches, getting everyone out the door and where they need to be. Or, you fall back to sleep, the alarm didn't go off and then the rush to get to work. At night just wanting to crawl into that warm, comfortable bed after a challenging day instead of cleansing the day's makeup off. It won't matter.
It does matter.... if you want your skincare products to give you RESULTS! Think about it. If you eat a healthy diet and feel/see the benefits, what happens if you loosen it up and have a greasy burger with fries a little more often, a little less fruit and veggies etc. Are you going to maintain the benefits of your healthy diet? Nope, not if it starts happening more and more. Exercise is the same. You commit to exercise 3-4 times a week and your body gets fit. Are you going to keep your fitness if you don't keep your commitment. Nope. This is true of pretty much everything and anything.
I know these things happen. I'm not talking about a rarity. We must give ourselves grace every now and then and climb back into your routine tomorrow. However, when that rarity becomes more the majority. That's a problem and it happens quicker than we realize.
You CANNOT expect results if you are not consistent in your program. A couple ideas to keep your motivation:
1) Take some "before" and then 6 weeks later take "after" pictures of your skin. Concentrate on your issues: acne, uneven tone, dark spots, lined and wrinkled areas. Focus on the improvements you have achieved. Look at them often.
2) Keep your receipts for your skincare purchases. Remind yourself of your investment. You do deserve it and you deserve the benefits.
Let's DO THIS. Consistently!!
I look forward to your comments, questions.
Wishing everyone HEALTHY SKIN!!
