So, here’s one of the benefits of growing older: In a lot of areas, you know what you like, what works for you, and what doesn’t.
It doesn’t mean you can’t try new things – in fact a lot of studies say trying new things is an important part of staying mentally and emotionally and even physically healthy – but there are some things we don’t have to waste time making decisions about.
I know what sunscreen works for my face. I have extremely sensitive skin and there are roughly 2 brands of sunscreen/moisturizer/face cream I can put on my face without pain or massive breakouts.
I also know heavy, volume pumping hair products weigh my hair down and just don’t work for me.
And yet cleaning out my health and beauty supplies today, I found numerous different brands of face creams that I tried when I didn’t want to spend the money on the brand I know works.
I found bottles of hair volumizing products I purchased thinking…what? This time they would magically give my hair new life?
Removing these not only makes room in my closet, it also limits the millions of tiny decisions I make. I don’t have to dig through piles of moisturizers in my linen closet or stand in the store trying to sniff new shampoo scents through a mask. For many of these things, I already know what works for me.
Buh-bye to the rest.
