Nature and Beauty Meet Big Hearts — self love

In a world where instant gratification often reigns supreme, there's a precious virtue we sometimes overlook in our pursuit of healthy skin – patience. I've seen countless individuals make one of the biggest skincare mistakes: hopping from one product to the next too quickly. Today, I want to emphasize why it's crucial to be patient with ourselves and our skincare routines, allowing our skin to bloom naturally and radiate its beauty over time.

The 28-Day Miracle

Imagine your skin as a canvas, and every cell renewal cycle as a brushstroke of rejuvenation. It takes approximately 28 days for your skin to complete this miraculous transformation. Just like an artist patiently crafts a masterpiece, we should grant our skin the same patience. Let's not rush the process; instead, let's celebrate the beauty of each moment and give our skin at least 4 weeks to see noticeable change.

The Hopping Habit

One common skincare pitfall I've observed is the temptation to switch products too quickly. It's understandable; in a world filled with skincare promises, it's easy to get lured into the next big thing. However, it's essential to resist this urge unless your skin shows signs of adverse reactions. If your skin seems to "like" the products you’re using, give them time to weave their magic. Remember, patience is the key to unlocking the full potential of your skincare routine.

The Ritual of Self-Love

Your skincare routine should be more than just a mundane task; it's a ritual of self-love and self-care. Each step is an opportunity to connect with yourself, nurture your skin, and embrace your unique beauty. Patience allows you to savor this journey, making it a moment of empowerment and self-celebration.

Trust the Process

The art of patience is built on trust – trust yourself, trust your skincare routine, and trust the natural rhythm of your skin's renewal. By giving your products the time they deserve, you're embracing a positive and uplifting approach to skincare. You're saying yes to the process, and with every passing day, you're one step closer to your most radiant self.

So, Beautifuls, let's embark on this journey together, celebrating the beauty of patience in our skincare routines and in our lives. In a world that often encourages haste, let's trust the process, savor each moment of self-care, and empower ourselves to embrace our unique beauty. The most radiant you is worth the wait!

Love and Romance are common Valentine's Day themes but what about Self Love? Can you truly say you love yourself? If so, do your actions and the way you treat yourself reflect love? Negative self talk and lack of proper self care are unhealthy, so this Valentine's Day show yourself some love in these 4 easy ways:

EAT- I've talked a lot about how proper nutrition is the best way to fight acne and skin issues from within. The foods you consume is also a reflection of your self esteem. If you're depressed or discouraged you may try to cope in unhealthy ways by consuming extra sugars, sweets and junk food. Love on yourself by trying healthy new recipes that nourish your body. 

THINK- As a person thinks so they are. It all starts in your mind. Remove that negative self talk by thinking good thoughts about yourself. Speak positive reinforcement over your life. Sometimes we may need a little help in this area. When was the last time you read a good book? I like to read inspirational books that not only feed my spirit but also help me to gain new insights on life. 

MOVE- Exercise is very important in self care as not only does it improve circulation in the body but it also releases endorphins and remove toxins. Getting your body engaged in some form of exercise helps ease tension and anxiety. If you're struggling mentally try incorporating regular movement into your self care habits. 

USE- I'm a big supporter of non-toxic beauty including makeup. Try using makeup products that treat your skin and not harm. This is what Apple Rose Beauty is all about; clean and safe ingredients.
