I had fun at yesterday’s Watsons Naturals Fair at SM Makati. I got to win skincare goodies, check out new products in the market (such as a facial wash in stick form) AND meet my girlboss idol Martine Ho.
I am all for skincare and inspiring opportunities to meet women leaders whom I look up to. I’m sure that there will be more to come!
Yesterday, I paid my dermatologist a visit. I wouldn’t say that I was thrilled to be back for an acne treatment, but I am happy that my last visit for the said purpose was last year. I am fortunate that my skin is definitely improving with skin care products from both my dermatologist’s clinic (Flawless acne toner) and Human Nature’s acne defense line.
Going for my skin care treatments make me feel more confident with my imperfections. Here I am with a pimple patch on my chin and a bare face from the clinic. I am lucky to have access to affordable skin care and medical treatments. I think the next step is to own my imperfections and rock them everyday.
Being confident is not easy, but it starts with what I have. I have a face than I am happy to bare even after a treatment. I keep on smiling even when times are rough. I move on from pain but I learn from my mistakes.
At the end of the day, confidence is showing up no matter what, and controlling my reactions even to things beyond my control.
So what if I occasionally have acne? It’s normal, and it’s treatable. I have skin care products that manage that, and keep me fresh. If you also suffer from acne or any skin condition, please don’t despair! There are dermatologists who can help you, and products that could ease your way into recovery. We are more than the skin we are in. Use your skills to propel yourself forward, while taking care of yourself.
Dare to be confident today!
