7 New Year's Resolutions Worth Making |
Resolution No. 5. Stop touching my face Even if I'm militant about washing and moisturizing my hands, experts say my paws will still attract all kinds of bacteria throughout the day.
And what do I do more often than I'd like to think about? I smear that bacteria all over my face when I'm bored in a meeting and rest my cheek in my palm or when traffic gets bad and I start to massage my temples.
Since the average person touches her face three to five times per minute (OK, that stat is from the movie "Contagion," but I believe it), I doubt I'll be able to quit cold turkey. But I can definitely start to be more conscious of where I put my hands throughout the day -- and I can wash them more often with this amazingly gentle hand soap.

These are actual resolutions that a person can stick to. I do most of these already, but I'm sure I can be more diligent about the rest of them (I was resting my hand in my palm as I was reading and removed it as soon as I saw the slide about not touching your face). I have a Clarisonic Mia and I use it once a day. I've had it for a little over a year now and you would not believe how much my skin has improved. Its not perfect but there has definitely been an improvement. :)

I don't pick at my zits and I still have horrible acne scars. There are brown and red spots where all of the pimples used to be and Retin A and antibiotics aren't helping.

I'm definitely trying to moisturize more regularly! It seems like I just cleaned out my makeup case not long ago, but it already feels cluttered again. I need to include "clean makeup brushes regularly" on my beauty resolutions list!
