Elevate Your Bath & Body Experience & Maintain Your Self-Care

Let’s clear up one common misconception from the get-go, self-care is not self-indulgence or being selfish. We all know life can get hectic and wild and sometimes, we forget to take the time to take care of ourselves. Beauty Care Choices believes Self-Care can be one of the most important things that you do for yourself.

Self-care means taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health. When it comes to your mental health, self-care can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. It can also help you cope with daily stressors that can lead to you feeling lonelier and less able to unwind and slow down, leading to you feeling more anxious and overwhelmed by even the simplest tasks.

Five Benefits of Self-Care

• Self-care can improve your physical health
• Self-care can reduce stress and anxiety
• Self-care can boost your self-esteem
• Self-care protects your mental health
• Self-care can lead to better relationships

What are some of the best products to begin your self-care routine you might ask? Don't worry, Beauty Care Choices has a wide variety of different items that can help you get started.

One of our all-time favorite self-care products is body scrubs. Body scrubs help to exfoliate your skin by removing dead skin cells that tend to make your skin look dull or dry. Scrubs are easy to use in your shower or bath and can really make a difference in your skin! Additionally, body scrubs can improve circulation, promote smoother and softer skin, and enhance the absorption of moisturizers. They often contain nourishing ingredients like oils and vitamins that can hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. Regular use of body scrubs can leave you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and with a radiant glow.

A few of our personal favorite body scrubs are the Bonblissity Body Polish Moisturizing Exfoliant which is available in six different delicious scents and both the Yon-Ka Aroma Fusion Gommage Doux Smoothing Exfoliating Cream and the Yon-Ka Aroma Fusion Gommage Doux Hydrating Exfoliating Cream for a more luxurious shower experience.

Another great self-care product is bath soaks. I don't know about you, but soaking in a tub really helps me to relax and unwind after a long and stressful day. Bath soaks can be a rejuvenating and enjoyable self-care practice. The warm water and ingredients in bath soaks can help soothe sore muscles, reduce tension, and promote a sense of calm.

The Cuccio Naturale Milk Bath is just what you need to relax and unwind after a hard day. This bath soak is designed to hydrate and soothe the skin, revealing flawless and touchable soft skin.

After your scrubbing and soaking, it's important to remoisturize your skin. Using lotion or skin oil right out of the bath or shower really helps your skin to absorb the nutrients and moisturizing agents in your lotions and skin oils. In addition to moisturizing immediately after bathing, it's also beneficial to apply a lotion or oil throughout the day as needed, especially if you spend a lot of time in dry environments or are exposed to harsh weather conditions. By incorporating these steps into your self-care routine, you can help ensure that your skin remains youthful, protected, and smooth, promoting a healthy and radiant appearance.

A few of our top-notch lotions and oils are:

• Earthly Body Hemp Seed Hand & Body Lotion, is available in 12 delicious scents.
• Verb Body Lotion, your fragrance-free option for those with sensitivities.
• Enjoy Skinjoy Hand & Body Lotion, a great clean beauty option.
• Earthly Body Hemp Seed Moisturizing Oil Spray, available in 9 scrumptious scents to match your Hemp Seed Hand & Body Lotion.
• Cuccio Naturale Dry Body Oil, available in two different scents and features a dry oil formula that won't leave your skin greasy.
• Bonblissity Nourishing Body Oil, available in two relaxing and refreshing scents and is packed with antioxidants, omega-rich oils, hempseed oil, olive-derived squalene, and rosehip oil to promote healthy and vibrant skin.

Now that we have your body all taken care of, let's talk about those feet and hands. Proper hand and foot care can prevent serious health problems. Dry, cracked skin on your hands and feet can lead to infection. Your hands and feet are probably the most used and abused parts of your body, so it is extra important to keep them healthy and happy. Great ways to take care of your hands and feet are at-home pedicures, scrubs, lotions, and masks.

For your feet, Beauty Care Choices has the best options for you. Some of our personal favorites for foot care are the Qtica SmartPods. These are available in 8 different scents and include everything you need for your pedicure at home! Another great option to smooth your feet is the Baby Foot Exfoliation Foot Peel. This will just let the dead skin off your feet just peel off, leaving your piggies feeling rejuvenated and youthful.

For your hands, our all-time favorite scrub is the Bonblissity Mini-Me Pack: Sweet+Single Candy Scrubs. Available in six different scents, these mini hand exfoliators are perfect for on the go or storing in a purse. These cute little candy scrubs also infuse your hands with nutrients and moisturizing agents for smoother and more hydrated hands with each use. Need a little extra moisture for your hands? Add the Cuccio Naturale Vanilla Bean & Sugar Butter Blend to your self-care routine. This lotion is ultra-lightweight and non-greasy and is formulated with sugarcane to help soften and moisturize your skin.

The last thing I want to mention for self-care items is probably the most important, supplements. Supplements can play a crucial role in helping to heal and rejuvenate your body and skin from the inside out. They can provide essential nutrients and support overall well-being. Remember, while supplements can be beneficial, they should not replace a balanced diet. They should be used as a complement to a healthy lifestyle and should be taken according to the recommended dosage. Prioritizing self-care, including supplements, can contribute to your overall well-being and help you achieve healthier skin from within.

Our favorite supplement for overall health is the ProPatch+ VitriPatch Topical Patch. This patch is more than a multivitamin! This little patch provides a full-spectrum wellness supplement for a healthy lifestyle. The VitriPatch Topical Patch complements our other favorite supplement patch, the ProPatch+ RenewPatch Topical Patch. While the VitriPatch is for overall total health and wellness, the RenewPatch's focus is anti-aging and total nutrition for skin and hair renewal! The RenewPatch also aids in reducing anxiety and stress making these the perfect self-care supplements.

A few other great supplements are the Truth Treatment Systems Fulvic Cellular Repair Complex. This supplement gives your body all the minerals and nutrients that are no longer present in our foods! Fulvic minerals are one of nature's most effective anti-oxidants, are easily digested and absorbed into cells, and shown to promote cellular health, regeneration, and detoxification.
