Empathy and Boundaries

This… read it. Again & again if necessary.

“I wish someone would have told me that sacrificing my boundaries in the name of empathy wasn’t noble.

I wish they would have warned me that all it would do is make me a safehouse for other peoples’ demons.

I think empathy has to be taught in two parts:

How to put yourself in someone’s shoes and see the hurt they were given that made them hurt you AND how to understand that you still don’t deserve what they’re doing.

Their scars are no excuse for the wounds they give to you.

Their inability to heal is not something you can fix, if you stay and continue to let them treat you in all these unacceptable ways.

If you give them excuses and safe places for their darkness, instead of demanding they do better, the only thing you are teaching them is that you’ll put up with it.

We want to live in a world where hurt people don’t hurt people, but the reality is, that starts with you standing up for yourself and not accepting disrespect.

You chose to heal. You chose to take the darkness the world gave you and still be a light. You chose kindness despite the pain you received.

They can, too.

Empathy is not an excuse to sacrifice your boundaries so someone can keep hurting you.”

2 Common Cleansing Mistakes

Cleansing is something we do

BOTH

2 popular mistakes I see people make are;

. thinking that they don’t need to cleanse in the morning & jumping straight into makeup

~ night time skin care needs to be removed to get the best results from your makeup

~ and the skin produces excess oil at night that you’ll want to remove from your pores to keep skin looking & feeling fresh!

. not doing TWO separate steps for makeup removal & cleansing

~ be sure to use a makeup remover to get all your long lasting makeup off

~ then use one of SeneGence’s amazing 3 in 1 cleansers {each geared towards specific skin types needs} to wipe away the impurities and oils from your day for a fresh clean start for your night time routine!

Why Wash Your Face

Hey girl, WASH YOUR FACE!!!

I honestly never personally realized there was a proper method, prosody or timing for washing my face until I found SeneGence…

And it showed!

My skin is SO much happier now that I care for it properly!

These are more common than you think, so don’t be embarrassed…

But if you do any of these you’re cheating your skin from looking and feeling it’s best, and could be speeding up the signs of aging.

don’t skip washing your face in the morning before applying makeup

don’t use regular soap or shampoo on your face

water alone doesn’t actually clean the face

don’t skip moisturizing after cleansing

don’t skip removing makeup at night

Skincare Day Verses Night

Our skin has different needs in the

DAY verses NIGHT!

So SeneGence of course has different moisturizers for v!!!

DAY TIME MOISTURIZER

Senegence day time moisturizers are specially tailored to feel weightless & work perfectly under makeup!

PLUS

It has Seneplex anti-aging complex built right in AND, the mechanical shield in the day time moisturizer PROTECTS us from the sun (with a non chemical spf equivalent of 15) & pollution/oxidation (that cause premature aging)!!!

NIGHT TIME MOISTURIZER

The thick rich nature of the night moisturizer provides a more intense dose of the perfect kind of moisture for your skin type, along with a bigger dose of the seneplex anti aging complex that helps increase cell turn over by 23%!

PLUS

The more emollient formulation also helps to lock in moisture and any solutions, products or serums applied under it so that can really get to work on your skin!

Are you currently using BOTH a day and a night moisturizer???

The basics can be so SIMPLE!

But our morning and are evening routines need to look just a tad different – because our goals are different!

During the DAY, we want to start off with a clean canvas, be sure to give a light moisturizer that won’t interfere with our makeup, that will also PROTECT our skin from the sun and environment!

At NIGHT, we still need to start with a clean canvas – which means removing our makeup AND cleansing (TWO separate steps), applying any treatments to help focus on our personal skin pain points and or goals, and then a moisturizer that’s a little more emollient to seal in the moisture while we sleep!

Do you remove your makeup before cleansing???

How about use separate moisturizers for morning and night???

No judgement friend – I am here to help!

Basic Skincare Recommendations

My #1️⃣ recommendation for self care is a GOOD BASIC SKINCARE SET

The 3-in-1 cleanser designed and formulated to cleanse, tone, and hydrate in one easy step.

Daily moisturizer that provides environmental protection in a unique formula that meets the precise needs of your skin type. Light enough to wear under makeup!

The Evening moisturizer is a rich moisturizer that allows skin the opportunity to repair, re-moisturize, and rejuvenate itself while you sleep.

This trio is best used together!

But you can absolutely purchase each piece individually.
