Beauty Tuesday: Self-care at home

Happy Tuesday! We hope the new month is going well for you. It’s September already, unbelievable, right? Between working towards our personal and career goals, taking some time to take care of ourselves is essential. Self-care helps us take some time to slow down, enabling us to manage stress in an increasingly overstimulating world. It also boosts our self-esteem and overall well-being. Today we share some beauty ideas to practice self-care at the comfort of your home.

1. Make a scrub: With ingredients readily available in your kitchen, making a face scrub is super easy. Sugar or ground coffee as ingredients added to oil are excellent for making scrubs. Use the scrub to remove dead skin from your lips, face and body. Rinse off and moisturize and your skin will feel amazing!

2. Re-organize your beauty closet: Sometimes all you need is to de-clutter your space as seeing clutter around you can be draining. Take time to organize, and see if there are products and accessories that you don’t use that you can also give away. This process is also satisfying as cleaning and organizing have been linked to decreased feelings of anxiety.

3. Try new skincare products: Self-care is also about trying new things and stepping out of your comfort zone. If you feel like you want to try out a new moisturizer, why not go for it?

4. Clean your makeup brushes: Cleaning your makeup brushes helps get rid of bacteria and caked makeup. This can make a huge difference to your skin especially if it is sensitive.

5. Use hand cream more often: A little pampering goes a long way. Our hands can get dry and rough, between washing up and everyday routines. A nourishing hand cream replenishes the skin making it moisturized and soft.
