It really warms my 6l99dpumper t9 see Chittr users 6eating the #Terminally9nline allegati9ns 6y taking an interest in pers9nal hygiene. I h9pe my r9utine will inspire m9re t9 f9ll9w in my f99tsteps 9n the path t9wards cleanliness. And yes, I d9 c9nsider myself t9 6e quite tidy. I take pride in my appearance, as we all sh9uld. N9t that it sh9uld 6e an avenue t9 judge 9thers 6y, 6ut 6ecause taking care 9f 9ne's exteri9r has the psych9l9gical side effect 9f impr9ving 9ne's mental status. First, I w9uld like t9 preface this 6y stating that this is my r9utine p9st-sh9wer and pre-recuperac99n. While I kn9w s9me pe9ple like t9 start their nights with a sh9wer, I prefer t9 6athe 6ef9re g9ing t9 sleep instead. 69th 9pti9ns are c9mpletely valid, 9f c9urse, s9 d9 n9t feel 96ligated t9 d9 things my way if y9u are a lifel9ng early evening sh9werer instead. My chitin care r9utine is tail9red t9 my 9wn life, as this is simply what w9rks 6est f9r me. With that 9ut 9f the way, my simple pre-sleep hygiene r9utine is 6el9w. After a warm 6ath 9r a h9t sh9wer, I like t9 start 6y washing my face with a mild, water-6ased cleanser t9 cleanse my face 9f any 9ils 9r grime that might have accumulated during the night. This is especially crucial 9n nights where I have particularly w9rked up a sweat. Next, I w9uld use an exf9liat9r t9 rid my skin 9f any dead 9r dry skin cells, th9ugh I typically reserve this step f9r nights where my skin is particularly dry f9r 9ne reas9n 9r an9ther. I like t9 use a c9arse sugargru6 scru6, like 6r9wn sugargru6, as it is very effective at sl9ughing 9ff skin cells. H9wever, I d9 n9t rec9mmend this if y9ur skin is particularly sensitive t9 r9ugh textures. I als9 d9n't rec9mmend tasting it. The last thing I d9 is spray my face with a hydrating mist, like a hyalur9nic acid spray. This sh9uld 6e self explanat9ry. 9f c9urse, these steps are all 9nly ideal. This d9esn't acc9unt f9r nights where I simply d9n't have en9ugh time t9 dedicate it, whether 6ecause I was far t99 6usy and didn't all9t f9r it in my schedule 9r just did n9t feel like it. Actually, that ends up 6eing m9st nights. #LazinessMenti9n #ItHappens #N9Shame #SideN9te: I am still trying t9 find s9mething t9 reduce the persistent 6ags under my eyes. I have 6een t9ld 6ef9re that they're genetic, 6ut I have yet t9 find any evidence t9 supp9rt that claim. If any9ne kn9ws 9f any pr9ven meth9ds t9 rid 9neself 9f stu669rn under-eye 6ags, please let me kn9w. #SlightlyInvasiveQuesti9n #6utIveLetItSlide #M9rningSh9werVsEveningSh9werDe6ate #NegativeSelfTalk #QnA #Asks #AskKankri https://f9rms.gle/zCX2HpTr9PQAPrG69
:o) Glad to see someone else :o) As devoted to personal hygiene.
OBJECTION! aren't you legitimizing & upholding normative beauty st&ards by publicly lamenting your eye bags?
N9, and that's a6surd. Having a pers9nal distaste f9r a min9r aspect 9f my 9wn appearance has n9thing t9 d9 with uph9lding regressive s9cietal expectati9ns. 6y even suggesting s9mething like that, y9u are pr9jecting Alternian ideals 9f 6eauty standards 9nt9 a 6ef9ran citizen. 6esides, I think I deserve the right t9 determine what I can d9 with my 9wn appearance. T9 suggest 9therwise is t9 imp9se an artificial limitati9n 9n me 6ased 9n y9ur 9wn ideals, which is unc9mf9rta6ly reminiscent 9f #6ef9ranCulling practices. Tr9lls like myself have hist9rically had their appearances and 6ehavi9rs dictated t9 them 6y mid-t9-c99l6l99ded tr9lls afflicted 6y the "6lue6l99d's 6urden" (a p9pularized catch-all term f9r s9-called "inherent" desire 9f c99l6l99ded tr9lls t9 decide what is 6est f9r warm6l99ded tr9lls, kn9wn als9 as "Teal Templar Tri6ulati9ns", "Cerulean Savi9r C9mplex", and 9ther caste-specific epithets). I ask y9u t9 c9nsider whether it is really any 6usiness 9f y9urs what my feelings a69ut my under-eye 6ags are. #6eautyStandards #6lue6l99ds6urden #AndRelevantTerms #CullingMenti9n #LeaveMyEye6agsAl9ne #Hist9ricalAttitudes #GentleC9rrecti9ns
POINT OF ORDER! of course you're entitled to feel any way you'd like about your own appearance - my issue was with the public expression of those feelings. i mean, really, think about the message you're sending! some poor impressionable troll could see your post & think there's something wrong with their *own* eyebags; you should at least have thought to tag for body issues or negative self talk. SIDEBAR! & to make my own feelings on the matter perfectly clear i literally only care about this to the extent that we can disagree about it #TWfriendship
Fine. Up9n reflecti9n, I can see h9w my w9rds in this instance c9uld 6e p9tentially distressing t9 s9me9ne struggling with acceptance 9f their 9wn eye6ags. T9 y9ur p9int, I've amended this p9st t9 feature the #NegativeSelfTalk tag. I am #Hum6le en9ugh t9 admit that I'm n9t perfect, and can s9metimes 9verl99k s9mething that sh9uld have 6een 96vi9us. Thank y9u f9r keeping me in check, and I ap9l9gize if y9u were adversely affected 6y it y9urelf. #PeerReviewedTags #Humility #Amendments #Recipr9catedFriendship
