Say what you will, but all our visible work, regardless of whether one's a carpenter, a dentist, or an executive, is done by our hands. They are the medium of the mind, I might say (and type it as I do, thus validating my own point; #sosatisfying). The life lived shows on a person's hands — and looking away is not possible. We will always look at them, notice their changes, enjoy our delicious mani multiple times a day, every day, and — use them. How else would we be slathering ourselves in intoxicating body oils, after spa-like showers? My god, how else would we fix up our brows? All that beauty and help they provide us with have to be protected and nurtured. Sunlight is THE number 1 cause of just about all of our skin's visible aging, and SPF hand creams, though still not available to us in as many delightful options as their non-spf counterparts, do both for us.

Congratulations, mama-to-be! And good for you, looking out for the health of your baby before it's even born. While the experience of pregnancy is different and personal for everyone, the one thing in common for all expecting ladies is that with pregnancy come a whole lot of changes — and among physical ones, you can expect changes in regard to your skin. If skincare is something you are mindful of, and are currently loving your carefully curated collection of beauty products, you might want to look over their ingredient lists to make sure they don't contain anything that could potentially harm your developing baby. Specific ingredients are advised to be avoided, but there are plenty of pregnancy-safe skincare products out there that can help you maintain (or get) the glow, battle dark spots or acne (infamously worsening in some women during pregnancy), nourish, heal and guard your skin — in a way that's safe for your baby.
Vitamin C is a well-established, powerhouse nutrient in skincare products, offering numerous anti aging benefits, including fighting oxidative stress, promoting collagen synthesis, boosting glow, and fading discolorations. Because vitamin C is a key player in collagen production, it can help improve skin elasticity and firmness, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and even work to prevent stretch marks. And that's not all — vitamin C can also help protect our skin against sun damage and environmental stressors, leading to a brighter, more even complexion. Vitamin C can work wonders for a variety of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, dullness, and uneven texture. By promoting collagen synthesis and inhibiting melanin production, it reduces the appearance of dark spots and brightens the complexion. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.

Oily and acne-prone skin? Some new acne skincare launches out there are making waves, and may just be the solution you've been looking for. Anyone who's battled acne will tell you all about acne stubbornness, and the diligence and attention required to get "good enough" results; product systems tend to provide quicker and more consistent results, but they also tend to cost not little of money. Perhaps you like one product from the set, but are not that into the others? The idea rules, though — never give acne any peace by fighting them gently (and consistently) with every single product in your morning skincare routine.
It may be official Self-Care Day today, but by now, we all know the importance of having those regularly, regardless of how wide or narrow the intervals are between them. Once again, we are facing the importance of consistency and the big power within
