Skincare isn’t just about having glowing, healthy skin - it’s also a self-care ritual that can lift your mood, reduce stress, and boost overall well-being.
E45 expertly formulated creams and face care range provide targeted relief for dryness and inflammation while restoring skin health, so you can feel comfortable and confident in your skin every day.
The Connection Between Skincare And Mental Well-Being
Research shows that how you feel about your skin is directly connected to your mood - and vice versa.1a When your skin is clear, smooth, and glowing, you naturally feel more confident and positive.2a But when blemishes, uneven texture, or signs of ageing show up, it can lead to feelings of self-consciousness, anxiety, and even depression.2b
Studies also highlight the importance of hydration as a key factor in healthy, balanced skin, which can even contribute to a better mood.1b Plus, the sensory experience of skincare - like the textures, scents, and routines - plays a big role in emotional well-being.1c
