I Don't Want A Harsh Face!

she looks like this but...

 

probably looked like this as a baby. What happened?

This post was prompted by Reggie. over at Reggie's Rantings.  He tends to do posts that speak the truth, say things many people are afraid to say and he always has hilarious pictures to emphasize his point. This is for you Reggie! LOL!

I don’t want a harsh face.

For awhile now I've really been looking at people and their faces.  You know how it is when you run into an old friend you haven't seen in awhile. That encounter can go either way. You can be pleasantly surprised that they look good and are aging well OR you can be shocked and wonder what the heck happened to them. There are a lot of harsh faces out there.

I don’t want a harsh face.

I do a lot of things to keep my face smooth and pretty.  Most of it is good genes (my mother has gorgeous skin) and the rest is healthy practices like lots of sleep, eating clean, and of course water. I don’t smoke and for the most part I don’t drink often except socially. Those practices can be aging.  Especially smoking. I’ve seen many people in my age group or younger and you can tell who lives a harder life or what their lifestyle choices are based on their skin...

Texture: Premature lines and wrinkles

Shade: Gray cast or burnt lips

Tone: Sagging skin

My cousin is a couple of years and a few months younger than I am but she looks many years older because she is a heavy smoker and has been since her teens.

Every time I see someone with a harsh face I react like its me. I don't want whatever happened to them to happen to me so I drink more water, use more products especially moisturizer and hope for the best because...

Kelly Rowland no makeup.

Continuing to look great with no makeup is a real goal in these streets! LOL!

What are you doing to prevent a harsh face?
