~ ~ ~ SCRIPTURE REFERENCE - ROMANS 12:1; JOHN 4:24 ~ ~ ~ In chapters 1-11 of the book of Romans, Paul finishes his discourse on basic Christian doctrine. The new church in Rome had a lot to learn. He continues on to chapter 12, getting a little more practical. He teaches the Christian, baby or seasoned, how to prep their hearts for worship. His teachings are still relevant today in a world where people half-heartedly sit in a pew waiting for a magic formula to appear. Let's delve into chapter 12 and see what Paul has to say. It's simpler than you'd think. Above image created in Canva.
~ ~ ~ Welcome back beautiful! Today we will start a "mini-series" within my skincare series. We'll discuss the different skin types, choosing products that cater to your type, and how to care for it. This week, we're looking at normal skin. You don't really have any trouble areas (maybe the monthly hormonal acne) but overall, you have a healthy complexion and it does not take much effort for upkeep. When choosing skincare, (and even makeup) consider the fact that you want to maintain your skin type. You don't want to exacerbate anything or cause your skin to become sensitive. Take a look at the ingredients; perhaps you'd like something that is universally good for your skin such as vitamin C, coconut oil, or argan oil. Oils are particularly helpful in cleansers if you wear stubborn "hard-to-get-off" makeup. Going back to the thought earlier about avoiding a future problem, I recommend exfoliating once a week just to ensure that all those dead skin cells aren't laying on the surface. Doing so will reveal a bright, smooth complexion. This will also help your makeup apply better in the long run. Your skincare will sink in when all of that ick isn't there. Masks and treatments can also be used once a week, but always be sure you are reading the directions carefully. Using a make or deep treatment will assist in the upkeep of healthy skin. Again, choose ingredients that are good for you and will benefit you long-term. As you are moisturizing, you want to promote blood circulation. You'd be surprised at how much the lack thereof will affect the health of your skin overall. Gentle massage movements will do just that. Take some time out of your morning and/or night to treat yourself to a self-massage; if you've got a willing loved one, that's even better. Estheticians often offer this as part of your treatment service. If you have normal skin, perhaps you'd like to recommend your favorite products to fellow readers. Comment below! |
