JAKARTA - Taking care of the skin is not just a beauty routine, but a personal ritual to reconnect with yourself. This is also what singer Yura Yunita does.
Every morning and evening, he takes special time to enjoy the process of taking care of his face with mindfulness, which he considers a self-care moment that he considers important in the midst of his busy activities as a musician.
"Using skincare is a moment for me to be silent. I focus more on breathing, on the process. From taking water, cleaning hands, to washing my face, it feels like I'm getting to know myself again," said Yura at Oriflame, who appointed him as Brand Ambassador for skincare and makeup in Jakarta, recently.
He deliberately underwent a skincare ritual with a slow tempo and regular breathing. According to him, the habit of rushing actually eliminates the essence of self-care.
"If skincare is done slowly while adjusting your breath, it feels healing. I became more mindful, from using cleansers, serums, moisturizers, eye creams, to sunscreen every day," he said.
Yura also believes that feeling comfortable with yourself will be reflected outside. Moreover, activities outside the house often drain energy, both body and mind.
Therefore, before going to bed, he tried to close the day by taking care of his emotional side first. He chose to express his pent-up feelings, one of which was by writing, so as not to leave any mental burden.
With a lighter feeling, he can rest peacefully and wake up the next day in a fresher state to return to the self-care ritual.
"I believe that when we feel good about ourselves, we will also look good. The energy is different," he concluded.
Not only from the outside, Yura also pays great attention to what he consumes every day. He makes sure his body is filled with water and vegetable intake, while planting positive affirmations every time he eats as a form of gratitude and prayer for his body's health.
The healthy routine is also equipped with the habit of drinking juice every morning. Yura chooses a combination of fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers, celery, kencur, and pears to give a natural sweet taste.
According to him, the mixture is useful for maintaining skin health as well as helping digestion.
"Green juice is also always consumed every morning. Not only for the skin, but the benefits are also good for digestion. So if you want to start the day, you feel light," concluded Yura.
