An essential topic that often gets overlooked in our quest for beauty: the basics of hygiene and physical health. These fundamentals are the true foundation upon which we build our lives, including our beloved makeup routines.
First and foremost, we owe it to ourselves to maintain clean and sanitized makeup tools. Properly washing and sanitizing our brushes and sponges, and sealing our makeup products after each use is a simple yet powerful act of self-care. Clean tools not only enhance our makeup application but also protect our skin from bacteria and breakouts. And don’t forget to wash your hands and face before applying makeup! A clean canvas allows your skin to breathe and your makeup to truly shine.
It’s important to nourish our bodies with whole foods. Properly shopping for nourishing foods that aren’t ultra-processed is an act of love toward ourselves. Choose fresh produce, wash it thoroughly, and seal it for freshness. This ensures we’re fueling our bodies with the nutrients they need to function optimally and glow from within.
Exercise is another cornerstone of a vibrant and healthy life. Regular physical activity keeps our bodies strong, boosts our mood, and enhances our overall well-being. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a high-energy workout, find what moves you and make it a part of your daily routine.
These foundational chores—proper hygiene, nourishing food choices, and regular exercise—are acts of love that support the “decorations” like makeup in our lives. We can’t decorate over things that aren’t healthy and hygienic and expect them to thrive. By taking care of the basics, we create a solid foundation upon which beauty and joy can flourish.
Remember, beauties, taking care of yourself at the most fundamental level is the best way to ensure that everything else, including your makeup, looks and feels amazing.
Until next time, stay healthy and beautiful!
