Our American culture has changed again and for the better. People in general are starting to recognize that things will not change rapidly and results take time.
We are a nation of fast food, fast diets and fast driving. That is changing. We are realizing that dieting is a life process, not a few weeks of being good. A change of lifestyle and change of habits are much more lasting. Consistence produces long term results.
Many dieters have found that if they take it slow and easy and change a few things at a time, the long term works better for them. You cannot change everything at once. Slow and steady wins the race.
Since your face has been in the wind and dirt and sun most of the time, it will take time to reverse those damages. Dirty, dry and wrinkly needs cleansing, toning and moisturizing. It takes time and it takes consistency.
Many of us claim that we have no time for such nonsense. Slow down and make time for yourself. Pamper yourself just a little, not lots. Take a few minutes in the morning to wash your face and clear all the dirt, instead of soap use a cleanser. Take a few minutes in the shower to exfoliate the dead skin cells with sea salt scrubs. Day to day care does not need to be long and extensive. A few minutes is all you need.
Substitute what you use for what is useful.
Take the time, your body will thank you. Your face will thank you long term. Take the time, you need it and the people you deal with need you to do it, so that you could function.
One of the things we found useful at the time of applying the mask is a relaxation program that allows you to lie down for 20 minutes and rest your body and keep your mind alert and awake and so the body rests.
Many options, many ideas, much to help soothe and rest. Keep listening.
