An at-home manicure or facial can be a relaxing way to pass the time and reduce stress, and can be a good reminder to take some time to care for oneself.
No doubt beauty’s holistic approach will further widen, incorporating self-care on both physical and mental levels with the desire to bolster immunity under this treat to our health. Inge adds that “there will be a collective rethink on what exactly ‘being well’ means, physically, mentally and as a community” – as well as what it is to ‘be beautiful’.
