Day 161 ~ Waging Against Aging


June 10, 2014      

My instead: I applied a facial mask on my own face. 

I had been looking forward to doing a facial mask for quite a while since I joined the It Works team. The paste is a combination of the Greens powder and the Defining Gel. Blending these two ingredients with a quick stir, I created my little concoction. Looked good enough to eat! But not! 

Before I applied the green paste, I exfoliated my face with a scrub brush that is typically used to clean the dirt from under your finger nails. Ouch! Time for the icing on the cake. I smothered my face with the mixture manifesting a scary impression of the Incredible Hulk.  

Unsure of how long to wear this mask, I decided to go to sleep with it on. It dried pretty quickly and made my face feel 30 years older. Yikes! Sleeping on my back is not my thing, so the blue pillow cases are now 50 shades of green.  

When I woke up, I couldn’t get to the bathroom quickly enough to shed my zombie look. A wet wash cloth was my morning wakeup call; then I applied a moisturizer after the clean-up. Ahhhhh. I’m not sure if my skin improved. After all, aging has a great left hook…it catches you off guard. Baby boomers! The war against aging is waging.  

I wish I would have commenced fire decades ago…
