I feel that the most important thing in all AM skincare routine is a very good sunscreen because I feel like it's protecting me not just from the sun but also gives me a shield of confidence to face whatever is coming my way & I just feel naked without it๐ my Holy Grail shield is Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30 https://www.blackgirlsunscreen.com/product/black-girl-sunscreen-spf-30/
Iโm so glad you brought up your skincare routine as something that lifted you up! Sometimes itโs just a matter of getting the ball rolling... on particularly tough days I literally need to throw myself in the shower and physically wipe the negativity off of me and let it go down the drain. Symbolic practices like that really help me!! Gets me motivated to get out and do more ๐๐ผ
Thanks for sharing a little about your journey. I find that my night time skincare routine (on Sundays in particular-I guess you could call it my self-care Sunday) is my time to reflect and prepare for the week ahead. Thatโs when I feel at peace and just let my mind relax for the night. I canโt stress enough how much better I sleep when I do this. ๐
