🎥 More about this video:
In a world inundated with skincare routines, wellness products, and lifestyle gurus promoting the latest self-care must-haves, it’s time to peel back the layers and take a look at how hyperconsumption may be affecting how we think about self-care. In this video, I delve into the fine line between genuine self-care practices and the overwhelming array of products promising a better you. Are these products truly enhancing our well-being, or are they contributing to a culture of excessive consumption in the name of self-improvement? Let’s dig through the hype and get real about what self-care truly means.
