Hello Beautiful Souls,
If you're someone who's religiously into skincare, you'll understand the sheer panic I felt earlier this year.
Since September 2023, I had been on a strict skincare journey. My face was glowing, literally skinning—and I couldn’t be happier. Compliments came in, people asked for tips, and honestly, I felt proud—not because I was blessed with it, but because I worked for it. I followed my routine with discipline, avoided junk, stayed hydrated... I did everything right.
But then, February 2024 came—and everything went wrong.
Out of nowhere, my skin started looking dull, dark, and tired. Worst of all, there was a sudden outbreak of pimples. It felt like I woke up in someone else’s skin. And till today, I have no logical explanation.
Was it the change in weather?
Did I unknowingly mess up my skincare routine?
Was it something I ate?
Or… was it nazar?
Yes, I said it—nazar, the evil eye. I’m not usually one to jump to spiritual conclusions, but hear me out.
The Turning Point: A Café Meet That Changed Everything
A few days before this sudden outbreak, I had met up with some friends at a café. It was a lovely catch-up, and of course, they noticed how fresh and radiant my skin looked. I didn’t brag—but the compliments flowed.
Two days later? My skin began its dramatic downfall.
Now, let me be clear: I am not blaming anyone. I don’t think any of them had ill intentions. But sometimes, even unintentional envy or attention can shift energies. Maybe it was just coincidence. Maybe not. But something definitely changed that day.
Lessons I’ve Learned the Hard Way
I’ve always believed that when you're doing well—whether it's glowing skin, a happy relationship, or a career milestone—you don’t have to announce it to the world. Not because people are bad, but because not everyone claps when you win.
This experience taught me to:
- Keep my wins low-key
- Protect my energy
- Avoid oversharing personal progress, especially when it's fresh and vulnerable
The Comeback
The good news? I didn’t give up. I researched, cried a bit, re-evaluated my skincare, and slowly rebuilt my routine from scratch.
Today, my skin is back. I feel confident again. And while I’ll share my updated skincare routine in a future blog post (stay tuned!), for now I just want to say this: never take your glow for granted.
Touchwood, if you’re in your skincare prime right now, I’m so happy for you. But please, don’t boast. Don’t overshare. Stay humble, and stay protected—because you never know who’s silently watching.
Final Thoughts
Maybe it was nazar.
Maybe it was just life being life.
Maybe someone out there is stirring a pot of kala jadu (I hope not, but hey, I’ve watched enough horror movies to entertain the idea 😅).
Whatever it was, I made it through.
So to all the skincare lovers, glow-getters, and energy protectors—watch your vibe, and watch your tribe. ✨
