SKIN CONFIDENCE
Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up every single day and love your skin unconditionally?
The good news is: it’s entirely possible. Yes, you read that correctly!
Being confident in your skin isn’t necessarily a given–that, we know. It isn’t always easy to accept our imperfections and be ready to put our face forward on a day where we aren’t feeling like our skin is at its best. And yes, it happens to ALL of us!
That being said, it is possible to work on loving our skin no matter how we feel or how we think we look. Without further adoo, here are our top 3 tips for building the ultimate skin confidence:
AFFIRMATIONS
Affirmations are a huge part of our self-care routines here at BSE. It’s simple: affirmations are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome those negative, self-sabotaging thoughts. They are incredibly powerful tools that when repeated over and over, begin to take change of your thoughts. Self-affirmations are also shown to help mitigate the effects of stress.
Here are a few we love:
- “I love my skin and I am grateful for its health.”
- “I am comfortable in my own skin.”
- “I am worthy of loving and nourishing my skin.
- “My skin is healthy and radiant.”
- “I am grateful and positive, and that glow shows on my skin.”
- “I am grateful for my beautiful skin.”
- “I am sending love and positive energy to my skin.”
BE PATIENT
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a perfect glow! Many of our skin concerns are treatable and manageable over time, but you need to be patient with yourself. If you are using the right products (in the right order!) and applying them properly, you shouldn’t beat yourself throughout the process.
Skin turnover takes time, and some days will include imperceptible changes and imperfections. Keep the ultimate goal in mind and continue to treat your skin right without throwing in the towel on a bad day.
INVEST IN YOURSELF
When people feel that they look good, they typically feel better and more confident about themselves. Certain self-care activities––like moving your body, practicing gratitude, sleeping well, and drinking enough water––undoubtedly affect the way you feel about yourself.
By doing these things, you feel happier and better about yourself. You also decrease your stress levels, which in turn, is linked to slowing down the process of aging. Also, the less stressed you are, the less inflammation you’ll experience!
And of course–a quality skincare routine using medical-grade products is a foolproof investment. While you may think drugstore products are cheaper in the long run because they rarely give you the results you seek (nor are they properly formulated for your skin), you ending up splurging constantly.
You will never, ever regret investing in the health of your skin, as it is your most durable investment. If you’re not sure where to start, head over to our E-Skin Lab to book your virtual appointment––it will be our pleasure to get you set up with what you need to feel and look your best.
On that note, make sure to give your skin some extra love today!
Until next time,
