2023 Self-Care Check-In Challenge

Ready or not, 2023 is here, and the Beauty Insider Community is kicking the year off the best way we know how: with our annual Self-Care Check-In Challenge! Whether or not you’re a resolution-maker, there’s something kind of satisfying about the idea of a “fresh start” 🧼 and while we’re big supporters of maintaining boundaries and practicing self-care all year round, it doesn’t hurt to have a little extra motivation to set healthy (and/or relaxing) habits.

Think of this thread as the place to check in with your fellow Community members and share how you’re practicing different types of self-care – they can be inspired by our weekly inspo prompts, or based on your own unique self-care needs or beauty intentions. If one theme doesn’t speak to you – by all means, skip it! You can still stop by to cheer on your fellow Community members! 🤗

• Week 1 (1/4-1/10): Perfecting your nighttime skincare routine
• Week 2 (1/11-1/17): Adding some movement to your day (and post-exercise relaxation!)
• Week 3 (1/18-1/24): Spending extra time on body care (dry brushing, exfoliating treatments, bath time?)
• Week 4 (1/25-1/31): Organizing your beauty collection (it can be therapeutic!) 
• Week 5 (2/1-2/7): Relaxing with home scents and candles
• Week 6 (2/8-2/14): Experimenting with a new-to-you wellness trend (supplements, rollers, CBD…) 
• Week 7 (2/15-2/21): Getting a good night’s sleep
• Week 8 (2/22-2/28): Trying a healthy scalp and haircare routine ◀

@Mellmars1185  I still haven’t tried the apple balm.  I thiiink I have it? (Is it bad I’m unsure? It may be the peach…)  

[Mellmars1185]

@heartsmyface I don't mind the apple scent. It is pink in colour. I have not tried the other ones yet. I liked this one so much I ended up getting the holiday set 

[heartsmyface]

@Mellmars1185  The temptation was there to get one of those sets as an ‘emergency gift’ (cause we all know what happens when they don’t get given;);)). I’m glad I resisted but also, ahhhh, I want to try everything! 

[Mellmars1185]

@heartsmyface We will always want more...i am proud of your will power to resist!

@v1ta  The Tula cleanser seems popular!  I haven't tried that but they make a glowy sunscreen that is really pretty that I use.

[anddebs]

@ather so gentle i love itt

[bakeamuffin]

Great products in your routine @anddebs!

[Ispend2much6]

@anddebs  Congratulations!  It feels really good to have a dependable routine!

[CynthieLu]

Your routine is fabulous 👌 @anddebs  you've got a double cleanse, I love your product choices and using an exfoliator a few times a week.  This sounds great 😍

[anddebs]

@CynthieLu really glad to ear that my skincare routine is good, specifically the product choices. 😊

[CynthieLu]

It's a personal journey, @anddebs skincare. If your skin is happy and healthy it dosen't matter what brands or anything 🥰

I really love the price on The Inkey List and The Ordinary ‌🙂‌ but I also like how well they perform on my skin ‌😄‌

I think double cleansing to thoroughly remove makeup and sunscreen is important. How can our skin look good or our products work if we leave the day behind on our faces ‌😅‌

[Mellmars1185]

@anddebs Sounds like you have an excellent routine!
