Reducing Skincare Frustration

Here are some stress-relieving tips to help you escape from skincare-related self-criticism. (1) Acknowledge your feelings—it’s important to acknowledge how you feel without judgment. This can help you release bad emotions. (2) Express gratitude—your skin is an amazing, living, functional organ. Take a moment to appreciate how It protects you from environmental stressors, infection, and pollutants. (3) Track small changes—achieving even small goals sends a wave of dopamine to your brain, so keep a journal or take a weekly photo of yourself to help track progress.
