Sustainable Self Care for Men using Bare Goodies
Self care often gets pigeon holed into being predominantly for women alone. Is it for women alone though? No wayyy! It’s essentially for everyone!
Case in point, the Bare team. We are largely a women led and women run organisation and would like to believe that we’ve positively influenced the men in our team. Our Chief of Marketing, Mehul now uses lip balm and our Chief Financial Officer, Anand uses moisturiser! [although its used eerily similar to a shaving cream :)]
For men, taking time to spend on your mental and physical well being can totally improve your confidence, reduce your stress, all while your skin glows! Life now is super fast paced and carving some time out for yourself can be so vital.
Beyond products, we’ve learnt the importance of physical health from Mehul and the positive impact of having a hobby from Anand. The benefits of sound physical and mental health are umpteen! Taking a break from all the everyday madness helps one recharge, resulting in better focus and productivity.
And to help in the self care department, we’ve brought you boys a simple self care routine! It’s super straightforward and can be practised by anyone!
Morning Routine:
1. Cleanse with a spa bar:
Start your day by cleansing yourself with a refreshing, exfoliating spa bar that would help remove all the dirt, grime and dead skin. Some recommendations are our Brew For the Soul: Coffee Spa Bar and Rhassoul Dazzle: Orange Cinnamon & Rhassoul Spa Bar, which are super exfoliating.
And sharing some recommendations from the boys of Bare who love the Dark Knight: Activated Charcoal Spa Bar and Basil Rosemary Spa Bar: The Herbalist
2. Hydrate your skin with a moisturiser:
After showering, applying a lightweight moisturiser can help to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. This can totally prevent any itchiness and white lines that run across your skin. Both our Soak It Up and Rainforest Moisturiser are super hydrating. And if you’re apprehensive about trying a moisturiser out, try the tiny jar first.
Evening Routine:
1. Unwind with Bath Salts:
After a long day, treat yourself to a soothing foot bath with bath salts. Soaking your feet in a hot water bath with a few spoons of bath salts, can help relieve muscle tension. Our Lavender Levitate bath salt is enriched with lavender essential oil, not only promotes relaxation but also improves sleep quality
2. Nourish your lips:
Before bed, applying a nourishing lip balm keeps your lips soft and hydrated. Our lip-smackingly good lip balms now come in a pack of 3, allowing you to experiment with all before finally deciding which one you like the best!
Self care does not have to be complicated. In fact, the simpler the routine, the easier it is going to be followed and the lesser waste you’re generating too. Prioritise yourself and notice a positive difference in your health and happiness
