The self-care 101

You've been trying to build a routine or have been trying to get back on track but just don't know where to start? lets me help you out <3

Step one Personal hygiene:

first up are a few things that you should do daily! <3

Brushing your teeth, flossing, and mouthwash twice a day.

Showering either in the morning or in the evening.

shaving and lotion if you feel like it (my fav)

skincare twice a day, in the morning and before going to bed.

Perfect! now at first, this may seem a bit overwhelming, especially if you struggle with depression, but sticking to this will already do a lot-

Simple skincare:

my last point was skincare, so I'll give you a little run-through on a simple and affordable routine; obviously, I can't promise that this will work for you, but we gotta start somewhere, right? :)

morning:

Dove beauty cream bar works really well for me (costs like 1 €).

Neutrogena hydro boost aqua cream as moisturizer (10 €).

Any SPF that works for you, I use the la Roche-posay one (15 €).

night:

Dove beauty cream bar.

The ordinary glycolic acid as a toner (10 €).

The ordinary Niacinemid + Zinc (7 €).

and the Neutrogena moisturizer again.

This should be a good start! :)

Step two healthy habits:

mental health plays a massive role in self-care, so I have listed a few things that might help you feel a little bit better; building actual habits takes time, though, so don't stress about it too much, and just try sticking to a few! :)

Eat breakfast.

Take vitamins in the morning (Vitamin D, Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc, Iron, Folate/Folic acid, and Vitamin B-12, to list a few)

go for a daily walk.

Do a youtube yoga or stretch video.

Listen to a positive playlist or podcast.

No technology for 30 minutes.

Read 10 pages of any book.

Study something you're interested in for 15 minutes.

Write down 3 positive affirmations.

Make a to-do list.

Try a new recipe each week.

Make a grocery list.

take your time and try being consistent; eventually, you will get to where you want to be; you can do it! <3
