The Glass Skin Warriors - 4 Steps to get rid of Acne and Get the glass skin

Disclaimer- This is not a 10 step routine for achieving glass skin. If you came here for that, sorry, this is not a silica factory. 

But, wait... You can achieve glass skin if you have the following. Please be patient and start taking notes, for this secret is never revealed.

Step 1. Each and everyone of us should have a close friend or a family member for this important step. Whenever Acne decides to show its face, they, who took a Diploma under the Bodhi Tree, will point out to you that 'Washing your face' is very imperative. No matter how many gentle cleansers with pH 5.5 you use, it doesn't matter, as long as you are washing your face, as said by them. 

She is scrunching her face and looking at me, while saying the following," Wash your face twice a day"
Me : "I do...."
She : "You have to listen and do what I say. Then see where the acne is running off to. Wash your face and don't use moisturizer..."
Me: "I...."


Step 2. Even I am surprised by the depth of knowledge people use their brain for when it comes to skincare. When you are stressed out about your life, your career and your ambition and forgot to sleep well and eat well, this step will be very effective. 
Because no matter what you are going through, being happy will miraculously cure acne the next day. So, even if your life is going downhill and you are lonely and are in the brink of depression, be happy. Be happy, because Aunty said so and this has been her secret for the past 120 years. 

She: "I am not 120!"
Me: "You are not 120? What? You are just 40? But those crow feet... ?
She : "But I didn't get acne..ewww"
Me : " Sorry. I forgot that it applies only to others"
She : "Be happy. Your life will be better!"
Me : "How can I be happy just because you say so? Ok. Sorry. I will remember that I have to be happy when someone says, even if Sani is playing basketball in my life"

Step 3. We all know what metabolism is. And we all know we are mostly water. So adding water to the water will be the miracle water you have been praying for. 
You don't need the internet to know this miracle when you have an awesome friend with dry skin who have never seen acne in this life. Listen to her! Because drinking 5 liters of water a day will not only make you stay in the restroom all day, it will also show you the path for glass skin.

Me : "But you drink only 1 liter per day and you actually have never had acne in your life"
Her: "But I have clear skin. So listen to me"
Me: "Fine then... Knowledge doesn't matter. Only your appearance matters"
 

Step 4. So we have got the basic tips from the above 3. If you don't have a glass skin, you most probably have already been enlightened with the first 3 steps. So I welcome you to the most important Step 4. 

In here, I am going to explain you the most important thing and this will also be the last step in this beginner series.
Let us see, what it is.
Mirror! Mirror on the wall!

It is the Mirror. You might have heard about it. 
This is the latest innovation that we should implement in our routine. And I will tell you how to use it.

There is a chance that you might already have a mirror at home. If you are not able to buy one immediately, open the camera in your phone. Either way, both will come in handy. But Mirror is better since you have more pixels in your eyes and it is also completely chemical free and completely natural, vegan, cruelty free. 

So, this is how to do the last step. Read them carefully and if you feel you can't remember, note them down. Trust me, it is the most useful step. 

Stand before the mirror and look at yourself!Look at the mirror and look at the acne. Looking at the acne is very important because you generally won't know how your face is looking even though you wear your daily makeup perfectly. 

We might be in 2020, but sadly, people with acne are in need of help from others to even realize that he or she is having acne. You closed your eyes while you placed BHA on that acne just a few minutes before someone else took the effort to mention it to you. This lack of self realization is alarming.

As a glass skin aspirant, we should never allow this to happen. Be helpful towards your very concerned aunty, your friend who calls you only when you are suffering and many more so helpful people. Let them use their limited amount of brain capacity to deal with their good lives. Let us not add to their burden.

They : "You have a huge acne on your forehead"
Me, applying Benzoyl Peroxide "I know and that is why I am applying acne spot treatment on that exact spot"
They : Stares at it for 5 mins. 
They : Starts saying things in Step 1. 
Me: ........

The End (of sarcasm)

For now, I could find only 4 steps. 
If I find more, I will definitely add them. 

P.S If you could relate to any of the so called helping personalities( she/they) mentioned above, sorry to say this to you, but, mind your own business and don't ruin someone's day or week or confidence or life.

The dream of an ordinary girl!

The smooth shining skin,
Like the porcelain in appearance.

With a glow that fades the room!
With a brightness that makes the sun shy!
With a radiance that emanates from it!

The skin that gives the bearer the confidence!
The skin that you will fall in love with!

                        _____________

         The dream of an ordinary girl!

That night she dreams of her beautiful skin,
Only to wake up and look at the sin!

In the morning light, in the vanity mirror,
The red papule makes her scream in horror!

Gathering her nerves, she gives it a little press.
Even the sun looked at her, when she screamed in distress!

Tiny colourless drops falling from her eyes!
She looks at it again and sighs!

What should she do?

She wanted what every girl wished for!
The clean and supple skin!

The skin that will reflect the light!
With the touch that is buttery soft!

But now she is suffering the nature's wrath!
What did she do to get it?

What can be done?
Remedies are better said than done!

                          ___________

Every girl dreams of that day,
When everything goes her way!

Two souls unite together,
To be in the holy matrimony forever!

She wanted to be the best bride,
But the pimple is hurting her pride!

Not many more days for that day,
Where everyone will be happy and gay!

She had chosen a red silk Saree,
And invited all the friends for the party!

So much had gone into the plan,
And that too in a very short span!

Pimple had arrived unexpectedly,
And mother looked at her worriedly.

Turmeric and Neem were Grandma's way!
But it needed time to have its say!

Not much time was left,
For her to experiment.

Work dominated her pace,
And Pimple ruled her face.

The Bride's day was coming near,
And she was creeping with fear.

The bride's usually looked the best!
The glow glooming the rest!

She had wanted that day to be her's!

She tried every trick in the book,
But nothing helped her better the look!

Countless prayers were said!
But all the treatments had failed!

The day finally dawned bright!
She had lost her fight!

She was ready to face her fate,
And pitied herself at her state!

Thick creams were applied,
Ladoos and Jalebis were supplied!

The proud Pimple stood alone,
The lonely warrior fighting on it's own!

The groom looked his handsome best,
She felt her life was it's worst!

She would soon lose her surname,
Still, her beauty was searching for fame!

He looked at her, as if it was the first!
In his eyes, she looked the best!

But, the woman needs her vanity!
So she can find her sanity!

The wedding was done finally!
Now, time to pose gleefully!

The cameras flashed bright,
Blinding everyone in sight!

The family picture was taken fast!
The wedding had ended at last!

The Bride and Groom looked at her!
And the picture was crystal clear!

Smiles were plastered on their face!
And love was evident in their gaze!

But she had eyes for only one!
Surely, the pimple had won!

She had lost to the mean pimple,
Only if the cure had been simple!

The photos will haunt her life long!
Singing the same melancholic song!
