Virtually anything can be made into a form of self-care or
self-love with the right mindset. It’s all about bringing attention back to
yourself and making an activity into“me time.” Skin care, for example, can be a
wonderful way to practice self-care. It’s an act of wellness, in the literal
sense, as it benefits your skin health. But it can also be made into a ritual
or sacred time. Something as simple as massaging a serum into your skin can
help relax both your mind and body. Here are some of our favorite ways to
add an element of self-care into your skin care routine.
In
addition to helping you feel more balanced and allowing you to be better at
caring for others, self-care is an invaluable practice.
Our experts share the
following benefits of self-care:
Reduced stress and increased
inner peace
Higher levels of relaxation and
productivity
Increased ability to be in
touch with your intuition and emotions
Reducing Stress For Amazing Skin
- From working with my
clients, I truly believe that stress is the main reason for most of your skin
problems. Most skin imbalances are hormonal which can cause breakouts,
irritation, and uneven skin.
- Stress makes your
body produce hormones like cortisol, and cortisol tells your oil glands to pump
out more oil. This chemical response makes your skin more sensitive, reactive,
and prone to breakouts and skin problems. This is not ideal.
- Focusing on reducing
stress is way more beneficial for helping hormonal breakouts than any topical
blemish cream. The problem with topical products is that they are focused on
drying up the excess oil your skin is producing. Ok, that’s fine, but if you
don’t nip the overproduction of oil in the bud then it will be a battle you
will be fighting for a long time.
Making Time For Relaxation
- When you are
stressed your body goes into fight-or-flight mode. This increases
your blood pressure, heart rate, and hormones. When you practice
relaxation, these increases are returned to their normal state and you have
more peace in your body and mind.
- This means your skin
will be more balanced and happy.
- When your skin is
more balanced, you won’t be as prone to acne breakouts, irritations, or uneven
skin tone. Focusing on relaxation throughout your day will encourage glowing,
healthy skin.
Mediation For Amazing Skin
- Meditation
is a great way to help with stress. Meditation over time will
help your body not go into the fight-or-flight mode so quickly, and when it
does, mediation helps your body return to normal much quicker.
- You don’t have to meditate for a long time to
reap huge benefits. Just 5 minutes a day goes a long way. Start small and work
your way up as time goes by. I started with 5 minutes a day and after a month
or two, started doing 10 minutes a day, and continue to add more time the
easier it becomes.
