I'd like to think that I have some will-power, but being married has proven that, in my private life, I have none. Of course, I resist many urges, and any vices I may have can be excused with what I perceive to be choice. Still, many things go undone because I don't have the will resist urges to do something better or more fun!
C'mon, I was a free-thinking, independent woman with a career and a social life! Who would care if my bedroom was less than clean or a bill was pushed to the last possible pay date because I needed a pair of shoes now?
My husband, on the other hand, is the epitome of will-power and self-discipline. He has a strict rule about not ruining a nice night by doing the dinner dishes, but you can rest assured that the dishes will be done first thing in the morning. He resists any urges he may have to be lazy and chooses to walk to the market rather than drive. CHOOSES!!. And, he will not walk through our bedroom doorway without doing pull-ups on the bar he strategically hung.
Is he crazy? Or is it me?
Well, I'm here to admit that I am the one with the problem... and I can prove it. I am a chronic picker! I cannot see a blemish on my face without giving in to my urge to attack it and perform surgery. Oh, the shame! Blackheads are my favorite. I know, I'm disgusting!
I don't generally have urges to attack others because I do have a sense of decency and personal space... and even if I did; my self-loathing mandates at least some control.
So, in trying to be more like my sweet, dear husband, in this New Year, I am devoted to continuing on my journey of discovering my will-power!
As any addict will tell you, once you've admitted your affliction, it is a good idea to remove the temptation. This is where the aptly named Dead Sea Premier Miracle Mask Noir comes in.
Basics: The Miracle Mask is a mud mask, with an element of exfoliant and toner. You use a slight scrubbing motion when applying, and your face will tingle a little. The application is a bit messy, but it cleans up nicely. The smell is a little medicinal - mostly a strong scent of eucalyptus, I think. Once you have removed the "mud", you are left with a layer of oil on your skin that you will wash off with a gentle cleanser. Your skin will feel very soft, and look a little rosy.
Extravagance: The removal is the magic of this mask. The mud comes off with a "solid mud block" that magnetically (YES! MAGNETICALLY!) lifts the mud from your face... and takes with it the contents of every single blackhead. It's true... clears every pore!
Imperfection: I can only use the mask on my chin and around my nose... the prime spots for blackheads. My cheeks and forehead are too prone to acne, and this product is definitely not for acne prone skin (it even says so on the bottle: "ALL SKIN EXCEPT ACNE".) Further, it is really potent stuff... so I can't use it more than every other week without upsetting my sensitive skin. The instructions recommend at least 60 hours between uses.
So far so good with my resolution. I have zero temptation. So, for today at least, my face is safe from my scanning eyes and tools of torture!
