Taking 10 minutes in morning or evening (or both if you want) to take a little time for yourself and put an emphasis on the connection between the well-being of your skin and your mental state.
SKINCARE IS SELF-CARE
Why include a skincare routine into your everyday life? Not only does it improve your appearance, but it also improves your mental health. Skin is not only the largest organ in our body, but it also serves as a protective barrier against harmful external factors. It is exposed to pollutants, UV rays, and stress daily, which can take a toll on its health. It needs lots of care and attention; and while you are doing your skincare routine you are also doing self-care! You may not notice but you will feel tonnes better after.
Scientific research has also demonstrated the link between skincare and mental health. When our skin looks and feels healthy, it can boost our self-esteem and confidence, positively impacting our mental wellbeing. The act of caring for our skin can also provide a sense of relaxation and calmness, promoting stress relief and enhancing our overall mood.
