Why Is Skin-Care Empowering?
“you want people to appreciate the product and not feel like: ‘Oh that’s cute, but it only looks good on her.’” -Rihanna
The beauty industry has always been a place where people have a lot of completely opposite opinions. From one side, the beauty industry is praised for creating products for skin-care and make-up, and from another, it’s often backlashed because of the unrealistic standards that it can impose. And it’s true because even though it’s truly remarkable all that you can achieve with good makeup, it’s also frightening to realize that a lot of young women use makeup as a mask behind which they hide. However, skin-care and make-up products actually bring empowerment when used over time.
And it has nothing to do with looking better, or not being beautiful without makeup and taking care of your skin. It’s all about how those products plant seeds within us that help us grow into a better version of ourselves. Here is why skin-care is empowering:
A Self-Care Routine
One of the most important aspects of skin-care and putting on makeup is the fact that it takes time to achieve the wanted results. Nothing happens overnight. By taking the time to take care of your skin, you are setting a habit of your own self-care ritual. That’s because there is something special, almost sacred at that time that you take for yourself. What once might have started as a way to cover imperfections, grows into something much more important – time for yourself, when you are being kind to yourself, doing something good for yourself that no one else can do for you. And that’s a big part of why skincare is empowering.
“I’ve never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful. ”
Boosts Confidence
“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself. ”
However, skin-care is more than just a ritual that makes you feel good, and you enjoy it while doing it. It’s much more than just a self-care ritual. Because after taking good care of yourself, you feel like you are at the top of the world, right? That loving energy of kindness for yourself, helps you transform yourself inside out, empowering you by boosting your confidence.
When you feel good in your own skin, it’s like you are unstoppable, and like you can achieve anything. And that kind of self-confidence boost will allow you to grow, progress and empower yourself in every aspect of your life.
It Shows You the Bigger Picture
“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ”
We have all been there, using skincare and make-up just as a means to cover up imperfections. But, as you do your routine day by day, you understand that you don’t have to spend hours covering imperfections, but rather you should invest yourself in accenting your natural beauty. Once you start focusing on accepting what’s amazing about you, rather than focusing on imperfections that bring you down, it starts to shift your whole perspective.
What once was a negative mindset, has now transformed into a positive habit. Because at that point, you see the bigger picture - there will always be imperfections and perfections, it’s just a matter on which you focus on.
