When it comes to beauty and skincare rituals, acts of self-care can offer much more than just a gorgeous appearance. It helps us to slow down, to focus on living in the moment, and shuts out the noise of an increasingly frenetic and busy life.
Until recently, the relationship between mental health and beauty and skincare was not fully understood. But as the science behind this link continues to grow, beauty scientists and health and wellness gurus are discovering numerous positives and confirming what we have suspected for a long time: that beauty routines could have a meaningful effect on our mental health and physical wellbeing1.
At Oleon Health and Beauty, developing ingredients that can take care of your skin is our priority. We understand that as the largest organ in the human body, the skin is the first line of protection against external elements, contributing and regulating critical functions in the human body, over and above simple aesthetics.
Healthy skin is uncompromised skin and keeping this asset in tip top condition must include good nutritional choices, getting enough sleep and focusing on physical exercise as part of a skincare regime.2
And the benefits are numerous: Taking time out to look after our skin can help us to feel better about ourselves, raise our self-esteem and foster a positive self-image. The gentle act of routine skincare can also reduce the production of cortisol, which could impact on skin inflammation and issues such as eczema and acne. In addition, instilling regular and consistent habits to take care of this incredible asset will help the skin to function optimally as we all face inevitable changes during the process of aging.3
Read on as we unpack four reasons why you should start a beauty and skincare ritual and boost your mental health today.
