How Your Skincare Can Also Become “Stress Care”
Can your daily skincare ritual also become your “stress care” ritual?
Skincare is indeed an element of stress care. When you give your skin
what it needs to look and feel amazing, you’re not just caring for your
skin, you’re de-stressing.
April is Stress Awareness Month. It’s
time to talk about what’s stressing us out and what we can do about it.
We should also talk about how daily and environmental stressors can
influence our skin and how we can address them through our skincare
rituals.
Something as simple as applying an aromatic vanilla body butter
after a hot shower can become stress care. This is the kind of product
that can nourish your skin, soothe your senses, and help bring you back
down to earth after a tense day.
Melt Away Those Feelings of Tension
No matter the cause of your tension, parts of your skincare ritual can
help melt away those feelings. Start in the shower with highly aromatic
shower steamers. Drop one on the shower floor under a stream of hot
water, and breathe in as the invigorating aroma rises.
A hot
shower alone can help ease feelings of tension, but when natural scents
like bergamot and eucalyptus wrap around you, they can instantly elevate
your experience. Close your eyes, breathe, and relax.
After
your shower, and while your skin is still warm and damp, elevate the
experience further with natural body butter (it can even be bergamot and
eucalyptus). It can help nourish and moisturize your skin while the
aromatics help you feel more centered.
Nourish Your Stressed Skin
Our skin can react to any number of stressors. All kinds of
environmental stressors, for instance, can leave skin dry, dull, and
tired. For some people, it may even go beyond “just” dry skin. Certain
stressors may also provoke dermatitis and eczema.
In the spring, dermatitis and eczema can be triggered as responses to all kinds of common spring allergens such as grasses. Even feelings of tension may leave skin feeling dry, itchy, and irritated. That’s just how connected the body is.

Tallow Balm |
Elements of your skincare can serve as stress care for your skin. Tallow balm
made with natural, biocompatible ingredients may make a difference.
Ingredients like tallow from grass-fed cows, emu oil, and key botanicals
can deeply nourish the skin.
This kind of deep
nourishment can even help revitalize the skin’s moisture barrier. As
this happens, red, irritated skin may give way to healthy, happy, and
hydrated skin, not to mention a less stressed you!
Stress Care Can Also Extend to Hair Cair
When you’re feeling stressed, sometimes hair care can take a backseat
to more pressing matters. However, when you’re unable to refresh your
hair, that can lead to even greater feelings of stress!
Thankfully, when time is limited and the world feels rushed, natural dry shampoo can help you refresh your hair in a couple of minutes. Finding a couple of moments to refresh your hair can be comforting and it can have a positive impact on your whole day.
