Lighthearted...hopefully (?)

My DM and I would do stretches and other exercises in the living room with face masks on from about the age of 12.

I remember I was on a sleepover camp and in the communal washroom one of the girls doing her face with soap toner etc. we must have been between 12-14? She said you needed to thoroughly wash your face and take care of your skin to prevent spots. I’m sure my mother told me this too but coming from a girl a year or two older than me made it really sink in.

Jackie magazine, lol. Cleansr, tone, moisturise! I was obsessed from an early age, and skincare has been high on my list ever since.

Here’s me thinking you meant a burn out and what you did to recover! Not face wash
