I got my first facial at thirteen.
In my mom’s house, taking care of your skin was maintenance, the same as brushing your teeth, and nobody treated it like a character flaw.
I’ve held onto that, because a lot of us were taught that loving yourself and wanting to change something about your face can’t live in the same person.
The way I see it, how you look and how you feel about yourself are meant to work together.
When you do all the inside work and ignore the outside, you end up hiding the woman you worked so hard to become. When you only work on the outside, it never quite feels like enough, because there’s nothing underneath holding it up.
When you have both, you get to look like the woman you already feel like, and that’s alignment, not vanity.
God doesn’t love you more with great eyebrows, and He doesn’t love you any less for getting Botox either 😉
