Mindful Skincare
Come with me as we explore how to introduce mindfulness in the care of our skin and hair. Let’s turn off the autopilot and become totally engaged. Sweep away the noise and clutter in your head that pulls you away from the here and now. Don’t ruminate on past failures and mistakes. Banish worry and anxiety about what could have been or might be.
As you start your day or prepare for bed, be mindful of your blessings: the beauty of nature, what we value, what we want our lives to be about, the people we love, what we are grateful for…
Turn off the television and put your cell on silent and place in another room. Yes, seriously. Take in a deep breath through your nose. Hold it for a couple of seconds. Now slowly exhale through your lips.
Hear the sound of the shower as the water hits the shower floor.
Notice the steam as it escapes when you open the door and then surrounds you when you close it. Close your eyes and inhale the aroma of our Breathe Again Shower Bombs…
Step fully under the warm water and let it massage your face and escape down your body. After cleansing, open the Joy Body Scrub and allow the sweet citrus scent to uplift your mood. Dip your fingers in and feel the sugar grains as you massage over your body. Feel the smoothness of your skin as you gently sweep away the scrub with the water…
As you step out of the shower, feel the soft warm bath rug or cool floor beneath your feet. Feel the smoothness of your skin and admire the glow while you allow your skin to air dry and drink up every drop of water or oil left behind…
Hopefully you now see the benefits of being mindful, even in your daily rituals.
Try to practice being present throughout the day and promise to be kind to yourself and others.
You are beautifully and wonderfully made.
