About care
For all school years and almost all university years, my face was one continuous flour: for thirteen years I had been fighting acne in a papule-pustular form and terribly embarrassed my skin — thick, excessively greasy, continuously inflamed, pockmarked with scaring eels and brown potholes after them. The disease subsided only after complex therapy and thanks to the synchronous efforts of various specialists. My current care system is a simplified version of their recommendations. My skin was oily and reactive, and remained, and therefore even now, during a period of stable remission, it requires strict treatment and special supervision. My main rules: a lot of acids, disposable paper towels instead of the usual, never to touch your face with dirty hands and maintain the health of the body from the inside.
And yet, however vulgar it may sound, it is important for me not to worry about the "imperfections", which are noticeable, as a rule, only in a mirror with magnification and under the operating light. Getting rid of acne, in parallel, under the supervision of a professional, I uprooted the accompanying complexes. And today, they seem to be a monstrous ugliness to me: no acne mutes the inside and does not poison life as a toxic attitude does.
For me, self-care is the ability to listen sensitively to the reactions of your body and, if possible, do it well without indulging in immediate whims - although without it you will not get anywhere. I gently disaccustom myself to sugar and dairy products, after which drowsiness comes and comedones happen, but once a week I will not deny myself cheese. I treat the common truths with respect, but I keep them in a corrected form: I get enough sleep and lie down at the same time, but at a comfortable midnight hour, I coerce myself to sports more or less regularly, but according to the principle "until the buzz. " Madly in love with ping-pong and walking in the woods.
About well-being
Meditation on the advice of the book "Modern Mindfulness" combined with cleaning in the closet. I learn yoga first of all for the sake of development of psycho-emotional flexibility slowly and with great difficulty, but I hope by next summer to be ready for the outgoing intensiveness Yana Chekolaeva. She teaches hathu, as they say, "according to the original canon", but under the cool trendy music. “However, real practice begins when you get up off the carpet and go out into the street,” says my mentor Julia Hemenes, a hathi teacher with one-third of life experience and the same learning experience in Indian ashrams. Talking with her is the best retreat for me. By her efforts I try to stop littering the memory with various nonsense, I am learning conscious loneliness and so not grasping me for patience, restraint and gentleness. From time to time I visit cosmetologists Elena and Elena in "Petrovka Beauty": they succeed in tremendous peels, after which both the skin is polished to a glossy shine, and it is not necessary to sit at home for three days.
I am glad that I began to smoke three times less, and in a completely natural and non-violent way, without any intention. Now I’m doing a single cigarette before bedtime, but I still get great pleasure from the process in cases that are particularly appealing to this — for example, after a late dinner with friends on some summer terrace. As my closest friend likes to repeat, balance is the basis of life, and I completely agree with her. Therefore, in my opinion, the most important thing is to avoid fanatical categorical, to strive for the absence of distortions between “I need”, “I have to” and “so right”, between “it will make me better” and “be happy”, between “this is not my "," I can not "and" break myself.

About makeup and cosmetics
In spite of the fact that I have crater pores, small reddenings appear after the post-acne and occasionally, I like myself without foundation, and I never use it or powder. For many years I have been buying the same Lancôme mascara, Chanel Les 4 Ombres and Dior Eye Reviver palette of shadows for me for ages, and for the sake of La Mer lip balm I will save on anything - since its release nothing has been invented , all the others either feed exactly for a moment, either bitter, or lay with viscous mucus. If there is a need for a grand evening make-up, go to Natasha to the bbbmoscow salon on Bolshaya Dmitrovka. There - to Dima Pivovarov for an impeccable cold shatush: he specializes in blond hair and always gives out a non-stamped iridescent living blond.
In order to learn about something new, I follow all the fact that the heroines of this column have already been listed more than once, but I often hang out on forums for dermatologists, I especially appreciate the community for professionals from the regions - they are not lazy to get and analyze information about the most advanced and rare colleagues achievements.
