During last year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale I challenged myself to curate a collection of sustainable style staples. With the current economic climate and uncertainty due to Covid 19, the focus is on Self-Care Skin Staples. I think we could all use a little self-care these days.
Chances are the stress of the current time is clearly visible on your skin. As the months of sheltering in place continue your skincare routine has likely become less of a routine.
I spend most days indoors except for the occasional on site construction meeting. As each day blends into the next, I now have to force myself to walk through the steps of my daily skincare routine.
If you work in the public sector your skin may be breaking out more than usual from prolonged mask wearing or frequent washing. So taking care of your skin, along with your health, is a must. Routines are also a reminder to take care of yourself so that you can then take care of others.
Below and at the bottom of this post, I’ve curated a covetable collection of self-care skin staples featuring Organic ingredients. For extra stress relief I’ve picked a handful of products infused with CBD.
If you’re at all like me you carry stress in your facial muscles. My furrowed brow and tight jaw benefit from facial massage with a rose water spritz followed by a creamy moisturizer.
I grind my teeth at night more now than ever so the one routine I stick by is using a facial roller to loosen my tight jaw. If I do this before I fall asleep I have less swelling in my inner cheek the next day.
