Masking

Gua Sha:
This is the one you want to get on now, before every man and his dog is telling you too. It’s no secret that when it comes to self care, beauty, and skincare, it’s no secret that Korean and Japanese women have been doing it right for centuries. The Gua Sha is a tool that has been around for many years but is finally starting to gain the popularity it deserves amongst our western cultures.

Meditation:
While self care usually starts with skin care, we all know it doesn’t have to stop there. The effects of stress on your body go beyond the obvious mental ones.

Finding time to meditate keeps your mind and body in a healthy place.
Journaling:
Feel like you’ve got too many thoughts rushing around your head?! Write them down! Just like our teenage selves would pour our hearts out to our diaries, the benefits of getting things out of your head and onto a page are still just as important. One thing we love about journaling is that there's no pressure. No pressure on you and no pressure on your friend or partner to give you the right advice either. It’s a safe space to just say what’s on your mind and then put it to rest. Write about things that make you sad, things that make you happy, dreams, hopes, just pick up the pen and let it out!
