In everyday life we are always being presented with imagery of perfect faces with perfect skin. Not a single blotch, line, blemish or dark circle peeking through. But that’s not reality or even remotely realistic. All of us have different skin textures, tones, colours and types which is exactly what makes each of us unique and beautiful.

But unfortunately, once we have become so used to seeing perfect skin flaunted everywhere from our favourite films to the pages of our magazines, skin confidence can become an issue.

What Is Skin Confidence?

Skin confidence means feeling confident, beautiful and powerful in your own skin. This doesn’t mean loving your skin because it is perfect but because it belongs to you. We have all heard about having ‘good hair days’ but what about good skin days? We all have a different idea of what ‘good skin’ might look like, but whatever your version is you know that when you feel like your skin is at it’s best - you’re going to feel good. This is how we want you to feel every day!

How Can I Build Up Skin Confidence?

Building up confidence whether it is in regards to your skin, body or just yourself in general is a personal journey that can take a lot of time, work and self love. There are a few starting points that are popular ways of beginning your confidence journey, from slow beauty rituals to daily affirmations. No matter what journey you decide to take, it is important to remember that your skin is beautiful, no matter what your idea of beautiful skin is.

Slow Beauty Rituals

Slow beauty rituals are great ways to spend more time getting to know your skin and enjoying the mindfulness aspect of skincare, as well as helping you to make sustainable choices. The best first step to take on any slow beauty journey is to look for products made with natural ingredients. For centuries our ancestors have been using natural ingredients on their skin, and there is one simple reason for it. It is because they work! Nature knows best when it comes to caring for your skin, rather than a short lived trend that uses mass produced products.

Slow beauty products focus on improving your skin’s own functions, like the rate of cell turnover, meaning that the results of the product can be seen long after you apply it. This means that it is important to stick to your routine so you can give your products time to work their magic. It’s recommended to try a new product for at least 28 days to really see the benefits, something you wouldn’t be able to dedicate to if you’re jumping on board with a short lived fad.
