Right now, we might be wearing less make-up than ever before. With shelter in place, humans are putting less and less work into their appearance. I’m not going to lie, my shaving habits are all over the place right now. But, this doesn’t have to be a bad thing. We can give our faces and bodies a break. We can start doing some simple self care for now: workout at home, drink lots of water, and meditating. This whole experience has been very eye opening. Oil prices have dropped drastically. Air quality is the best it has been in a century! Let us learn from this. Let us treat others and ourselves better.

So, let me get back to beauty, since this lovely editorial is all about that. When we go back to putting on make-up, let’s make better choices. Let’s move this planet towards a kinder more sustainable direction. Your face has been healing. Let’s only put on clean, natural, organic, vegan make-up brands! And if this editorial isn’t convincing that those type of brands are nothing but beautiful, I don’t know what is!
