Skin Vitality Handbook Final

Practicing mindfulness also encourages us to be more aware
and accepting of the present moment. This tends to take
away our judgment of what society and other people may
have and experience what is there specifically for us in the
now. In a way we should stop caring so much about what
other people may think about our skin and instead try to
manage the emotional impact the mindset we have for our
skin has on us.
Through acts of mindfulness it helps us acknowledge what
went well and what did not. The act of mentally separating
the negative and positive allows us to get rid of habits that
causes negativity within ourselves and our skin.
Skincare is a lifestyle and the habits we choose will reflect
that. Mindfulness keeps us attentive of what we are actively
choosing to put inside and apply outside of our body. 1 We can
keep track of what is working for us and what isn’t. With that,
we can keep or remove specific aspects that are not helping
to enhance the overall health of our skin, mind, and soul.
Whether that is a specific product, negative energy, or the
attitude of being a perfectionist that isn’t working for you, try
and filter these distractions out of our life.
