Hey beauty babes,
“The privilege of aging is learning how to care for yourself in ways you didn’t know you needed.”
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about this.
Aging isn’t just about what we see in the mirror. It’s about how we slow down enough to listen to our bodies, spend more time in nature, and start paying attention to the small daily habits that support our health and our skin.
One thing I’ve become much more mindful of over the years is light — specifically natural morning sunlight.
Getting outside in the morning, with bare eyes (no contacts, glasses or sunglasses) during sunrise and again during UVA rise (usually about an hour after sunrise), can help support your circadian rhythm, which influences things like:
• sleep quality
• energy levels
• hormone optimization
• improved vision
• skin health & preparation for UV rays
• hormone balance
• skin repair
Our bodies are designed to work with natural light rhythms, and I personally try to get intentional morning sunlight, before applying sunscreen for the day. I believe we NEED sun and the light it provides.
But balance matters.
