Our days can be busy, demanding, and draining. We need to process countless thoughts, interactions, considerations and challenges. While fulfilling all these calls that penetrate our lives simultaneously, we just cannot neglect the foremost requirement of our daily life – self-care.
To function well in our environments, we need a concoction of balance, peace and joy. How do we integrate these traits? Well, by being ‘centered’ in ourselves by way of reflecting on our day’s events and dealings, taking time out and going for walks or other physical activities, valuing and loving ourselves and finding ways of thinking out of the box, making life choices that help us to minimize stress.
Needless to say, our looks affect our self-confidence and impressions concerning the outer world. Our face reflects the intentions of our inner being and is a medium that other people use to interact with us. So, when you welcome your friend with a smile, Bingo! The moment radiates the joyous energy for both of you. Ofcourse, show your friend your frown, and two of you can sense the gloominess.
Our Expressions – Our Reflections
An important aspect of self-care is how you take care of your skin. Endless brands are available in the market out there. But the brand you use depends on what you believe in.
With the growing sensitivity of humans to fellow beings and nature, the cosmetic industry has come up with numerous innovations and brands, which allow us to live in consent to our moral values. Usage of organic and natural makeup brands is one of the ways which allows you to express that you care – for the earth and your fellow beings.
