YOUR VISAGE

Unlike, say, the elbows, one’s face is constantly available for perusal. Store windows, butter knives, and bathroom mirrors all do their part to let us know how our kisser is looking at any given moment. This can be a blessing if it means discovering and removing the frisée from one’s teeth before a meeting. It can also become oppressive.

What starts as mere looking often segues into scanning and searching. With narrowed eyes we hunt, first for incipient blemishes and then, as the years pass, for blemishes, fine lines, and suspicious pigmentation. The skin of our faces seems to be always threatening some fresh hell. To placate it, we must offer supplication in the form of expensive creams, tonics, scrubs, and masques. What we suggest, as difficult as it seems, is to regard one’s face less like an angry demi-god and more like, well, part of you. Practice looking in that magnifying mirror once a day and saying, “Hello, gorgeous.” Until you get comfortable with the idea, you may want to do this in the privacy of your home.
