How To Take Care Of Your Mental Health

On the theme of 'anxiety', this year's Mental Health Awareness Week is from 15 to 21 May. Mental Health Awareness Week is an ideal time for us all to think about mental health, tackle stigma, and find out how we can create a society that prevents mental health problems from developing and protects our mental well-being.
How does skincare actually help improve mental health?
Skincare is taking care of the largest organ of your skin - it is bound to make you feel better and more loving towards yourself. It's like journaling or working out - regular, consistent activities that improve your mental well-being. Skincare can act as an anchor and keep reminding you to take care of yourself. When you can materialise your love for yourself, you can put yourself in a routine to reinforce the emotion.
Having a mindful skincare routine can boost your mental health! There is an impressive body of research that shows the benefits that meditation, mindfulness, and self-care have on your mental state, and skincare factors into this as well. When you set aside time each morning and evening to follow your skincare routine, it can become a meditative practice.
Skincare is self-care
Setting aside time each morning and evening to follow your skincare routine can become almost a meditative practice since you’re taking a few minutes to set aside the stresses of the day and focus solely on yourself. You can even take the self-care aspect a step further and listen to soothing music or nature noises while you cleanse, tone, exfoliate, and moisturise your face, neck, and chest.
Even though skincare may seem like a small thing compared to other aspects of life, don’t underestimate its power in improving your self-worth!
