For all the people who love taking care of their skins, we celebrate National Love Your Skin Day on July 8 .
It is a day dedicated to embracing and celebrating the skin you are in and reminds us to prioritize skincare and acknowledge the significance of self-care in maintaining healthy, glowing skin.
National Love Your Skin Day is observed annually and encourages people to adopt a good skincare routine to enhance their natural beauty.
This day was created by the cosmetics company “ Dermastart ” back in 2007 to encourage the public to build up and maintain a healthy skincare routine.
Take some time out of your busy schedule this July 8th to show yourself some self-love!
The Development of Skincare Over the Years
The history of skincare has reached several milestones over the years, starting with pharmacist Benjamin Green inventing the first sunscreen for soldiers in 1944 to help them in World War II, marking the beginning of sun protection skincare.
Our concept of skin health and ways to maintain it progressed during the 1960s due to multiple research and experiments. Scientists discovered the rejuvenation properties of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA's) in 1988 which caused a significant surge in the innovation of skincare products.
The skincare industry experienced massive growth in the 2010s, and personalized skincare routines and products became a huge trend.
Celebrating National Love Your Skin Day
First things first, start loving your skin and build up a routine according to your preferences. It does not have to have many products, even the basic cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen would do.
If you want to take it a step further, then go ahead and splurge a bit, get a facial or treatment done to nourish your skin.
Give old favorites a try or try something new, there are so many cool new things out there.
For healthy, glowing skin, it's essential to focus not only on skincare but also on your diet and hydration. Taking care of what you consume and staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water are crucial for achieving radiant skin.
Always, invest in skincare products, even if it is just one product. Do not compromise on quality and buy one that suits your skin type.
