There are four main benefits that you probably get from not being healthy, that you don’t want to admit:

1.Avoiding being responsible 2.Getting to be right and making others wrong 3.Dominating others and avoiding domination 4.Justifying yourself and invalidating others.

These things are hidden benefits. I will talk about each of them in more detail, and explain what I mean. You have to dig down and be honest, though. These four things are usually true for everyone, and point of my sharing them is to make you aware of them, and for you to be honest with yourself about them. Most people do not think of these things as benefits. But if you look at them and are really honest with yourself, you will see benefit people get from them.

People get to avoid being responsible by putting responsibility on medical symptoms and disease care system. You live under illusion that they will create a magic pill or invent some technique or system to make you think and healthy without you having to do a thing. They are responsible for your health, not you. It is an illusion many of us believe. Because then we get to avoid being responsible for our own health and eat anything we want. We get to do what we want, and then blame all of our symptoms on someone else.

You get to be right and do exactly what you want. You don’t have to listen to all those doctors, all those people, especially that annoying “health freak” in your family. Every family usually has one. You get to be right about being able to do what you want. You get to make them wrong. And don’t we all enjoy making someone we don’t like so very wrong? We all want to be right and I can prove it. Have you every seen someone try and prove themselves wrong? Argue that they are not right? People love to be right and that includes being right with being able to eat whatever they want for whatever reasons they want.

You get to dominate others, and avoid others’ dominating you. You do not have to do what they say. You can do what you want. You can probably even control people and make them angry by doing things your way, by doing what you want.

You get to justify yourself and invalidate others. You get proof for yourself that what you are doing is right. You get evidence that way you are doing it is right. You get to make sure that other people’s way of thinking is wrong, and make sure they know you know they are wrong.

Realizing real, often hidden truth about costs and benefits of being healthy will often help you create a stronger desire to be healthy.

3. Clean and Moisturize! Don't neglect your skin. For normal skin, a gentle daily cleanser is all you need. Using a washcloth needlessly pulls and tears at skin. Cleanse your skin with your fingers using gentle, circular motions, paying particular attention not to stretch delicate eye area. Moisturizing skin is also important to protect it from effects of elements including wind, pollution, and sun (if it is a sunscreen moisturizure). Not only does it protect skin from outside, but also helps it to retain its natural moisture from inside. Keep in mind that spending a lot of money is not necessary. If your skin is oily or you have a problem with acne, use products designed specifically for your skin type. You may want to consult a dermatologist to seek prescription treatments. Never attempt to pop your pimples. This will increase size of your pores and possibly cause scaring.

Essentially, if your skin is young, value it! Taking simple precautionary steps can help keep it that way. Think of benefits of having healthy skin in future. Use sunscreen, eat healthy, and following a daily skin regimine. You don't need alot of money to keep your skin healthy. All it takes is common sense and good lifestyles choices.
