The Skin Nerd: How boosting your confidence can help your skin glow

Jennifer Rock says the link between mental wellbeing and your skin is well established.

Skin Nerd: the way that we feel about ourselves has a huge impact on our overall wellbeing and how we live our lives. Having what we consider as a ‘bad’ skin day can be all encompassing. Not only can it impact your entire day, long-term anxiety or negative feelings about your appearance can lower your self-esteem and chip away at your confidence.

This week I want to draw attention to the connection between how you feel about your skin and your mental health. The beauty industry is often seen as an area of frivolity, one that lacks real importance or the weight of others. However, the way that we feel about ourselves has a huge impact on our overall wellbeing and how we live our lives. Having what we consider as a ‘bad’ skin day can be all-encompassing. Not only can it impact your entire day, but long-term anxiety or negative feelings about your appearance can also lower your self-esteem and chip away at your confidence.

When I created The Skin Nerd, one of my main aims was to empower hoomans to feel good in their skin. Here are some practical tips on how to give your confidence a boost that will radiate from your skin.
