Did you ever look at your car following a torrential downpour and wonder how that automobile could possibly still look a bit gritty? Yes, residual grime remains on your ‘ride,’ spoiling its shine and luster, even after hours of a hammering rainstorm. 

Well, the same principle applies to our skin. Even after stepping out of a refreshing shower, or steamy bath, our skin retains the residue of indoor, outdoor, and internal daily life. In my last blog, I explained how our faces need special treatment, comparing them to windows, which also need regular attention. This time, I’m comparing us to cars.

Feeling that occasional nip when you step outside? Especially in the mornings and in the early evenings? And the days – they are definitely getting shorter, aren’t they?

Yes, autumn is certainly ‘in the air’ and it’s time to start the seasonal rituals. Time to switch clothes in the closets and do some heavy cleaning around the house, including the dreaded window washing.

“The eyes”….. “Definitely, the eyes”….. “Eyes for sure.”

Those are a few of the most common answers to that popular question, “What is the first thing you notice about a person?”

No surprise there. The bard William Shakespeare certainly knew what he was writing about when he penned the often quoted, “The Eyes are the window to your soul.”

They are also your window to the world, our sight being one of the first and most important ways we sense our environment.
