“How you view your beauty rituals should be entirely up to what you need. For some, it’s reading a book with a cup of tea while taking the time for a face mask. For others, it’s just closing the eyes, unwinding, and doing a simple few steps,” says longtime beauty vet Eleonora Miller, founder of natural spa brand Exquisite Face & Body. “Because during challenging times, you have to relearn how to simply take care of yourself.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Miller about how beauty can be a tool for compassion during times of hardship and loss, how to cultivate compassion for yourself, and why skin care should never be stressful.
