A beauty ritual for women who need a break from fighting the patriarchy
Systemic inequality and gender bias wearing you down? Are you exhausted from your ‘second shift’ tending to household chores after a long day at work? Sick of reading stomach-turning headlines about violence and harassment?
Don’t forget to take a well-deserved break to relax and recharge, especially during International Women’s Day. One of the easiest ways to alleviate stress is to incorporate wellness into your beauty routine, such as massages and mindful skincare rituals to boost the mood.
It may not fix the grim reality but every woman needs brief moments of respite to keep them going.
From indulgent hair and body oils to nourishing skincare, these are our top beauty picks for a successful self-pampering session.
