Gratitude is increasingly becoming a step in the routines of skin-care obsessives — and it could actually make a difference
Photo: zakokor/Getty Images/iStockphoto Have you thanked the universe lately? I highly recommend it. For one, it’s a nice thing to do for the ever-expanding assemblage of space and matter that supports your very existence. But also, gratitude is increasingly becoming a step in the routines of skin-care obsessives — and it could actually make a difference.
“I absolutely consider gratitude to be a part of my personal beauty routine,” influencer Christina Grasso, aka @thepouf, tells the Cut.
Affirmations do more than change your mind, though. Dr. Howard Murad, pharmacist and founder of Murad Skincare, says they can even change your skin. In addition to his brand’s popular Replenishing Multi-Acid Peel and AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser, the doctor offers the Dr. Murad’s Inspirations app. Download it, and a daily push notification presents one of 11 positive affirmations.
Summer Fridays co-founder Lauren Gores Ireland will vouch for that. “When we are grateful, there’s a certain light that exudes from our eyes, and when we’re in a rut, it’s as though our faces look foggy,” she tells me. “The inside work manifests into a whole new kind of glow that even the best highlighter in the world can’t give you.” Sadly, her Jet Lag Mask can’t either, so Gores Ireland keeps a gratitude journal.
“The inner and outer can be a reflection of each other — sometimes our blemishes and things on the outside are because something on the inside is processing,” Delia tells me at the Create & Cultivate Self-Care Summit in Los Angeles. She believes, to an extent, that acne may represent a deeper issue around being seen; dull skin could result from ignoring your soul’s purpose.
