Getting Skintimate!
Building your skincare routine is a great first step on your self care journey. You may wonder, "How does skincare coincide with self care?".
The short answer, taking care of your skin makes you look good and when you look good, you feel good. Additionally when you feel good you do good, so on and so forth.
You want to know what we think?
We believe that when you take the time to learn your skin, really learn it, that opens up the doors to understanding yourself on a deep level. More than skin deep, believe it or not.
Your skin is a complex, sensitive and constantly evolving organ. It requires careful and consistent attention to flourish. Sound familiar? Careful, consistent attention is what we ALL need to flourish. The best person to give that attention is You! All it takes is a little bit of self inspection and recognition.
Being introspective doesn't always come easy to people but its necessary when embarking on your self care journey. If being introspective does not come easy to you then the best thing to do is to start small and work your way up.
We suggest skin care because its a great hands on activity to get you in touch with not only your physical care but your emotional/mental care as well.
Once you learn what your skin can and can't tolerate, what it needs, likes and doesn't like; you can apply those same clarifying components to every aspect of your life.
What can you tolerate in life? What can't you tolerate?
Those questions and similar ones are what self care is all about.
Like we've said plenty of times. Self care is more than just lotions and long baths. Its about learning who you are and loving that person to the fullest extent, because that's what you deserve.
