Yes, we all know the clichés we’re taught about true beauty coming from within, but let’s be real… looking good on the outside makes you feel good as hell too. I don’t know about you, but when I walk out of the hair salon I feel like a brand new woman ready to conquer anything. And conversely, when I’m having a bad hair day it seems as if everything else that day is bad too. This could be combated with mind over matter theories, but there’s a real correlation between looking good and feeling good. And sometimes that starts with a good skincare routine.
A bad day I had a few weeks ago sparked this. I didn’t feel like waking up so I pressed snooze until all I had time for was a quick shower, tossing my hair in a bun and screaming at old ladies in traffic to make it to work on time. Not only was my vibe off, each time I walked past a mirror that day the feeling was exacerbated. Tired of not being happy with my reflection, I was led to a revelation. How could I improve internally if I couldn’t dedicate time for myself and like the person looking in the mirror? Not to mention your outward appearance is a reflection of your self-value, and how others will then interpret your worth.
A SKINCARE ROUTINE IS ESSENTIAL
The empowering feeling of looking good shouldn’t be something that’s occasion-based, but rather something we achieve every day. The same effort that I put into my looks the morning of a career-changing presentation, or the night before a long-anticipated first date, should be the same effort I give to just myself. When I’m saying my daily affirmations I want to look and feel like the person I’m pushing myself to be. I know my visual- learners feel me. That extra effort may seem like a daunting task, but you just need a good foundation that’ll eventually become routine. Personally, I think clearer when my skin is clear so my foundation begins with an essential skincare routine. And nature’s best offering for revitalization are fruits, so all of these products get their glory from them.
