At first glance, it’s easy to misunderstand how developing a skincare routine can significantly improve your mental health.

Allow me to explain.

While it may seem like a redundant task, a consistent (keyword is consistent) skincare routine can attribute to boosting your mental health. Beyond achieving a glowing complexion and feeling gorgeous in your skin, maintaining a skincare routine reduces stress, promotes the power of habits, creates a healthy addiction to taking care of yourself, enhances mindfulness, and skyrockets self-worth.

What more do we want?!

There is no secret how much stress we all take in daily. What happens when we stress? Our cortisol levels go up, we break out, pick our skin, and essentially exacerbate whatever is happening in and on our bodies.

A skincare ritual provides a much-needed escape from the daily grind. Taking those moments to cleanse, tone, and moisturize allows you to create a sacred space to be alone and ease stress.

The repetitive nature of doing this soothes your nervous system, promoting relaxation and overall calmness.
