The solution? A skincare overhaul, which included three crucial ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Water (I needed to get back to drinking at least 2-3 L a day);<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Aztec-Secret-Indian-Healing-Cleansing\/dp\/B0014P8L9W\" target=\"_blank\">Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay<\/a>; and<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Raw apple cider vinegar (to mix with the clay; dilute with water to drink; and tone my face).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I will never be without these things. And to my face\/body: I promise to be kind to you again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. In a similar vein, I&#8217;ve come to finally understand the importance of self-care as survival. (I. Deserve. Cr\u00e8me de la Mer.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3.\u00a0I spent this Halloween with my two best friends, reunited after god knows how long. I forget how incredible I feel when I&#8217;m around them\u2014like I&#8217;m home, I&#8217;m safe, and myself\u2014and how revitalizing even a few hours can be. And while I&#8217;m a little sad that my squad (loljk, I&#8217;m not about that word) is spread out all along the East Coast, I consider myself the luckiest girl in the world to have found such an incredible group of smart, independent women. We&#8217;ve already planned a full reunion (there&#8217;s four of us in this lot) for the end of January and time\u00a0<em>cannot<\/em>\u00a0go by fast enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">4.
