This Is a Phobia

A month ago, Lucas and I took some time off, our first break all year to truly disconnect from work. There was still so much of the Puget Sound area that we hadn’t explored, so we decided to do a few nature walks and hikes.

But I have a phobia of walking down steep things, or paths with a big drop besides it. Sometimes I have to take a breath at the top of a long set of stairs before I take my first step down. Sometimes I get so scared that I end up scooting down a path on my behind. I feel a lot of shame about my phobia, especially when those around me are avid nature lovers. So when we go for hikes, Lucas and I make an effort to look up the trails to make sure it’s doable for me.

Poo Poo Point seemed doable (yes, that’s the name, and not my nickname for it based on how I later felt about it; it was named after whistles once heard by loggers on Tiger Mountain). We watched videos, looked through photos, read reviews. Many said it was steep for the beginning of the trail, but it would get better.

When we got there, it was steep the whole way up. “Are we on the wrong trail?” I kept asking Lucas. The whole time climbing up, I was worried about the hike down. I didn’t expect the miles of switchbacks. I didn’t expect the sharp drop of the mountainside. I didn’t expect the constant rockiness of the trail. A family was letting their toddler walk a few feet, then carried her a bit, then let her climb again. If this toddler’s okay here, you will be too, I snapped at myself internally. After a LOT of breaks, we got up to the field at the top where paragliders usually launch off.

I couldn’t stomach the sandwiches we brought. I couldn’t enjoy the view. I was worried about what would come next.

On the way down, when the trail was a little wider, I started strong but then it quickly started to look narrower and grew steeper in my mind. Like vertigo. My feet were frozen. I barely got them to move an inch. Lucas held Barley, who kept charging forward or looking over the mountain side, with one hand, and held mine with the other. I knew that logically it was less safe for me to hold his hand on the narrow trail, that my weight would not be centered. But I couldn’t move forward without him. Sometimes it took me what felt like ten minutes to move five feet.

Whenever people needed to pass on their way up, I would flatten my back against the mountainside, sometimes holding onto a tree, sometimes subconsciously digging my nails into a wall of dirt. When we had to move again a few times I crouched down because I wanted to feel lower to the ground, but then I couldn’t get myself to stand back up. Because I was too scared to find my center. Because I didn’t trust my feet, and I didn’t trust the ground.

“Wait, please wait,” “Hold on,” “I can’t,” I remember saying to Lucas constantly.

Twice people behind us had to pass. “Sorry,” I couldn’t help but say. “I have a phobia.” or “I’m scared.” Both times they told me not to rush. It’s okay. Take your time. We can pass when it’s safer. I repeated their words and kindness to myself, it’s okay, take your time. And after I was able to let them path, I took my mask off, and both times I cried. There were tears and mud on my face.  I couldn’t breathe. My heart was pounding. I felt embarrassed. If children could walk these paths, why couldn’t I? Barley was zipping back and forth in front of me, sometimes trying to put his paw on me, because he could feel something was wrong. But I was too stressed out and snapped at him to stop.

I tried to imagine a safe wall but could only see the drop. The thing about fears and stress is that when it’s a constant thing, pressing on you continuously for hours, nothing feels rational. Even recounting it right now, I can feel the heat rise to my face, the tears rise to my eyes.

When we finally got to the bottom, my legs were trembling, my whole body shaky. I didn’t know why I could walk up but not down. Everything felt hot.

We drove back to Seattle and stopped at a matcha place for takeout. I wanted to dive into the soothing green. Let me float. Calm me down.

---

Over the weekend, we brought Barley to a city park we’d never gone to before. I wasn’t prepared. This time, for the first time while walking up something, I felt the same fears I had while hiking down the Poo Poo Point trail. I wore the wrong shoes. I thought about how it had no grip while the soles of my feet slipped a little here, a little there, enough to make me freeze and sit on the trail and break down. We were just supposed to be going to a dog park.

I don’t know where to put my feet. I forgot how to walk. I kept saying all this out loud. “I’m right here,” Lucas kept saying.

He suggested I put my arm around his shoulder and he helped me to my feet. I instantly felt calmer, more solid. We slowly walked to the top, where the path opened up to a dog park. I thought about how if I were by myself, I would’ve still been stuck sitting on the trail until someone found me.

Somehow my fear has worsened. Somehow my anxiety has ballooned into something paralyzing.

I’m sure there will be a next time, and I hope the strangers’ words and Lucas’ words will be able to help me push through it. It’s okay. Take your time. I’m right here.

The 8 Best Aloe Vera Face Masks For Glowing Skin

Aloe vera has long been a standby ingredient to deal with sunburns and other irritation, but because it's packed full of vitamins and high in water content, it's also great for adding glow to your skin. Add to that antibacterial and antiseptic properties to unclog pores and tackle acne, and enzymes that help with hyperpigmentation, and you’ve got a true multitasker. No matter what you'd like to target in your routine, the best aloe vera face masks for glowing skin will help you reach your skin-care goals.

However, since aloe has become such a buzzy ingredient, it is frequently coupled in less-than-ideal formulations including ones with drying alcohols and irritation-causing dyes. Those experiencing redness should consider a recipe with calming ingredients like chamomile and cucumber, while those with oily skin or clogged pores should consider choosing clay as a costar. And for those who've done the research to make their own masks at home, aloe is a fantastic base ingredient because its vitamins and minerals, including magnesium and zinc, improve skin in so many different ways.

Whether you're looking to this desert plant for moisture or to provide a dose of zit-busting power, here are the best aloe vera masks for all of your needs.

1. The Overall Best Aloe Vera Mask For Glowing Skin

Bliss Triple Oxygen Self-Activating Facial Mask, 1.7 Fl. Oz.

See On Amazon

While aloe vera does a lot of work, Bliss has boosted its glow-giving powers with brightening vitamins C and E, calming green tea extract, moisturizing rice bran, and revitalizing oxygen. And mask in the comfort of knowing that this product doesn't include parabens, phthalates, or sulfates, and is cruelty-free to boot. However, while the bubbling formula is a fun treat, it might be too intense for those with, particularly sensitive skin.

2. The Best Aloe Mask For Redness And Puffiness

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask, 5 Fl. Oz.

See On Amazon

Anti-inflammatory cucumber is a perfect partner for aloe for those struggling with redness and irritation. Add the silky gel texture, brightening fruit extracts, and hydrating glycerin, and you have a great combo for skin that could use a little relief from the elements. "This product is nearly a miracle! Reduces inflammation and redness like nothing else I've used before," says one customer with sensitive skin. Others found it effective and gentle enough to use under the eyes to get rid of puffiness.

3. The Best Aloe Mud Mask For Oily Or Congested Skin

Hebei Green Tea Matcha Mud Mask, 3.5 Fl. Oz.

See On Amazon

One of the most impressive traits of aloe is that it provides hydration without being greasy, something those with oily skin is sure to enjoy. Mud masks are a great option for soaking up excess oils and helping dislodge clogged pores, and this formulation featuring matcha's powerful revitalizing abilities will help thoroughly clean skin and make your skin glow without looking like an oil slick. "It works great on me for cleaning and rejuvenation use," one Amazon reviewer reports. Others noted the pleasant smell of tea, but since there is a large dose of matcha in the jar, be careful to remove it after the instructed five or 10 minutes, some users said they noticed a little staining.

4. The Best Aloe Sleep Mask For Dry Skin

Innisfree Aloe Revital Sleeping Pack, 3.4 Fl. Oz.

See On Amazon

This rich, creamy mask that can be used overnight will provide plenty of moisture to thirsty skin. With more than 75 percent aloe vera from Jeju Island in South Korea, a dose of antioxidant-rich madecassoside, and plant extracts, it's definitely not skimping on beneficial ingredients. "My skin is acne-prone but tends to get dehydrated. . . . This product [is] perfect for the days when your skin could use a little extra love and care," says one reviewer. While most reported no irritation after use, the ingredients include a small number of silicones so this might not be the top choice for those avoiding them.

5. The Best Aloe Vera Sheet Mask For Glowing Skin

My Beauty Diary Aloe Vera Mask (10-Pack)

See On Amazon

It's hard to beat the convenience of a sheet mask, and My Beauty Diary's ones are a cult-favorite for good reason. This aloe-based formula is boosted with mulberry, kiwi, and bearberry leaf extracts to calm, soothe, and brighten even more. "Very soft, hydrated but not oily," one customer who'd recommend the product says. And while some other brands can get pricey very quickly, this set of 10 comes out to less than $2 each.

6. The Best Celebrity-Favorite Splurge

Joanna Vargas Euphoria Face Mask (5-Pack)

See On Amazon

Moisturizing sodium hyaluronate and healing allantoin complement aloe vera for a great hydrating and soothing mask from celebrity facialist Joanna Vargas, whose clients include Rachel Brosnahan, Constance Wu, Chrissy Metz, and Julianne Moore. And it's not just hype, according to the Amazon reviewers who rave: "If you’re on the fence, get off. These sheet masks are everything. That is all. Mic drop." Another writes: "The ingredients in this mask are very soothing. They helped to calm my redness and didn't cause any new irritation."

7. The Best Aloe Mask For Under Eyes

Safina Aloe Vera Collagen Eye Patches (10-Pack)

See On Amazon

The maker of these hydrogel patches with aloe and bamboo charcoal says they will help lighten dark circles, add shine, and reduce puffiness. While the one to eight hours recommended wear time is a bit of a commitment, Amazon reviewers seem happy with the results, giving the line a 4.6-star overall rating. For even more cooling action, consider storing these in the fridge.

8. A Value-Size Bottle Of Aloe Gel For DIY Masks

Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel, 12 Fl. Oz

See On Amazon

Aloe's multitasking abilities make it a fantastic base for homemade masks. Plus, it's great to keep on hand in case of sunburns or if your existing lotions and masks need a little something extra.

This value-size bottle of aloe vera gel is almost entirely pure, and doesn't use drying alcohol as a stabilizer or preservative like some other brands — no wonder it's a best-seller on Amazon with a 4.6 rating after more than 3,000 reviews. However, a few customers reported having reactions to the product, so patch test first, especially if your skin is sensitive.

Mostly Empties!

Have I ever truly finished a products before I got bored? I don’t know. Honestly, I’m always on to the next one. 2/4 of these are completely done for, the other two I have probably one good use left & I will savior it. 

Let’s start wiiiiiiiiith....

Kate Somerville Exfolikate! Price range of $24-$175 (for 5 whole ounces!) A classic. A travel or mini version of this lasts you forever. It’s a dual physical & chemical exfoliator, smells like pumpkin! This ~deluxe~ size sample lasted me probably 6-ish full uses, which is awesome! 

Straight from Kate : “Lactic acid and fruit enzymes— papaya, pineapple, and pumpkin—reveal smooth skin and a brighter, healthier-looking complexion in as little as one use.” I love enzymes for exfoliation because you won’t “feel” them work but you see the results. Plus, lactic acid? Be still my beating heart, you all know how much I love acids.

Another interesting tidbit, it contains Rosewood and Cinnamon Extracts to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles + Aloe Vera, Honey, and Vitamin E to smooth and soften skin. Cool! Learn something new every day.  It has a grain to it, very minimal but effective. You apply to a damp face, massage and let sit. I would mostly apply mine and then hop in the shower & rinse after 5-10 minutes (you’re supposed to let this sit for 2, but when do I follow rules?) It’s strong but does come in a Gentle version!

I have another travel size ($24) of this one that I’ll keep using. Would I repurchase when I’m fresh out? Yes. 

Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask $58 - Got this in the PTR mask sampler kit, which was a great value considering it came with 5 tubes to try & I got about 4-5 full uses out of this one! I had heard positive reviews of this so I was excited to try it. It’s a thick gel formula somewhat tricky to rinse off. 

From PTR : “A purifying, decongesting, and hydrating face mask with odorless Irish moor mud to help draw out dirt, oil, and grime while simultaneously providing nourishment.” UNSURE about purifying & decongesting claims but it is very hydrating and my skin definitely seems smoother after each use. I also don’t really look for decongesting products on the regular either. 

THEY SAY.. “Irish Moor Mud: The result of the natural decomposition of herbs, flowers, and plants over a period of thousands of years; has an unusually high concentration of purifying bio-minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and fatty acids. Hijiki Seaweed: Provides nutrition and hydration, and contains high levels of calcium, iron, and vitamins B1, B2, and C. Volcanic Ash and Activated Charcoal: Contain minerals that help draw out dirt, oil, and grime, shrinking the appearance of pores.” sounds fake but OK. I don’t have like, amazing things to say about it. It’s an alright mask for me, I like it but don’t think it delivers on what it says it will. That’s just skincare for ya! Would I repurchase? No, but would use if I got another sample. 

Farmacy Honey Potion $56 - I’m gonna start this but telling you it tastes like honey and not why I know that it does.. but honestly this stuff is bananas and it WARMS UP when you rub it. Whaaaat. It made my skin look like glowy, supple, soft honey induced goodness and I need the full sizeeeee!!! It’s so soothing to use after an acid filled mask trio I usually make my skin suffer through.

Farmacy saaaaaays “Echinacea GreenEnvy™ Honey: Heightens the hydrating and purifying benefits of honey and is full of potent natural antioxidants. It is made by bees that live on Farmacy’s farm. -Honey, Propolis, and Royal Jelly: Supports skin renewal for a younger appearance. Essential B Vitamins: Help to smooth dry skin and renew its look. Glycerin: Attracts moisture to the skin and provides hydrating effects for a moist, supple skin appearance.” Honey is actually pretty wonderful for the skin, and I really appreciate how they have their own farm they responsibly source from! B Vitamins are great for the health of your skin, while glycerin is truly awesome for all skin types. I’ve used a few Farmacy products and have fallen in love with the brand. They make ~bangers~ and are fairly priced! Would definitely 100% buy full size. 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST U KNOW........

Drunk Elephant Sukari BabyFacial!!! $80 for this magic. I cried when I ran out. Literally. Teared up. I wish I were joking.

I love DE, I’ll scream it from the mountain tops and BURY me with C-Firma for the afterlife. 

25% AHA & 2% BHA to resurface that skin o’yours and reveal the most beautiful complexion you never knew you could have. DE does it all to create effective products with balanced pH and soothing ingredients so you don’t ever have sensitized or angry skin. This is maybe the best brand I’ve used.

DE says “Blend 25% (Glycolic + T.L.C. (T) Tartaric, (L) Lactic, (C) Citric Acids) and Salicylic Acid (BHA) 2%: Exfoliate surface dead skin cells and support surface turnover to smooth and brighten the appearance of skin; exfoliates pores as well as on the surface of the skin, refining pores and providing greater skin clarity while soothing redness. Gram/Chickpea Flour: Absorbs excess oil without over-drying, balances, and brightens skin’s appearance while combating dullness.  Pumpkin Ferment Extract: Aids in gentle exfoliation with a rich source of fatty acids and antioxidant components, carotene, lutein, and carotenoids, and contains naturally occurring enzymes. Matcha (Green Tea Leaf Powder), Milk Thistle, and Apple Extracts: Contain potent antioxidant and anti-pollution properties, helping to condition and soothe.” straight FACTS this stuff was sent to me from heaven. Smells like a green tea latte, tingles in a good way, no joke made my skin less prone to cystic breakouts, more prone to being the SMOOTH, GLOWING, EVEN TONED GODDESS I DESERVE TO BE. I used this 2-3x a week for almost 3 months straight after release before that dreaded last pump. DE is 4 every 1. Will rebuy forever. 

That’s all! Have you used any of these? Would you want to? ask questions if you have them!
