There are now indentations in her face where the tears like to gather because she is too weak and too numb to wipe them away. So they pool there, in those places, and dry up over time, leaving a salty residue that is not kind to the skin.
And then the next rain of sadness brings more tears to those same spots and those pools will form again. This has turned into such a regular thing that when she looks in the mirror, she can see her face becoming a different shape.
She decides that this is ok because it is only her outsides trying to mirror her insides, to create a balance. If others notice, they do not comment and they do not wipe the tears away.
Great beginning for a reality connect……what is the next paragraph.
