4 Psychologist Tips To Overcome Perfectionism In Skin Care

We all know that we should have a skin care regimen. No matter what your regime is, it is self-care – and an investment in your future self. But where exactly do we start? The market is growing all the time and figuring out what works for you can be an overwhelming task. After all, someone else's Holy Grail ingredient may not offer the same dreamy results.

However, if you are a perfectionist, you want to do everything right. So you can devour any piece of information thinking you need the perfect plan. But at some point your brain may be exhausted and you may end up in a place of analysis paralysis. Even your budget can be a limiting factor that exacerbates your perfectionism because you start to think, "If I can't afford it [product / service], I might as well not be able to start."

In this case, perfectionism can keep you from seeing the forest for the trees. You may have a tight tunnel vision, and because you've played this logic train over and over for yourself, you may be completely connected to it.

And so, maybe you will never start and wait for that perfect moment. Except that the stars never line up and the ducks never line up.

If you're a perfectionist who still comes up with the perfect skin care plan, we have you. As the loud and proud Type A +++, you can use your perfectionism to pay dividends for your skin.
