Isn’t it a wonderful thought to imagine waking up to a new day, each and every morning, with sunlight filtering through your window and gently kissing your skin? You stretch and yawn, immediately thinking not of the tasks for the coming day, but rather your skincare routine that calms and comforts. These thoughts and feelings are not really about the products you are going to use; they are the moments of self-care they represent.
Lockdown was a trying time for everyone. It was a period when the world seemed to stand still. For many, the routine of skincare was the anchor that kept them sane and grounded. Those quiet moments in front of the mirror, massaging your skin with your favorite moisturizer or applying a calming face mask, became moments of peace in a chaotic time. There was no need to look good during this period, so it wasn’t about that at all, but rather about feeling good for yourself above all else.
Once that regular routine was established, something really amazing started to happen. As you began to take better care of your skin, your complexion became more luminous. The change was not restricted to appearances. It was a climb toward greater things on an emotional, mental, and spiritual level.
Taking care of your skin came to signify resilience and served as a reminder that you can rejuvenate and care for yourself in the face of hardship. This experience wasn’t only a personal one for you; it was shared by your family and friends too. Call it a time of bonding when you couldn’t physically reach out to your loved ones. The time spent speaking on the phone or with close family members confined with you was a time for sharing cherished secrets and strengthening relationships. It gave everybody more to focus on and talk about than the dreaded lockdown and its resultant doom and gloom. It allowed everyone the chance to embrace the joy of discovering a new skincare routine and reveling in the confidence boost it gave.
Before lockdown, many skincare routines were born from fads and trends. However, during lockdown, it became more of a lifeline onto which we all clung for the sake of sanity. A daily skincare routine was a way of reconnecting with the inner you and finding the sometimes-forgotten beauty in the daily monotony. As the world began to open, the value of skincare remained as a way of expressing absolute self-love, self-care, and well-being.
