I’ve created a beauty maintenance checklist with self care in mind. Self care means to nourish our emotions, body and mind. So this beauty maintenance checklist can be part of your personal self care kit in PDF form.
7 Signs that you need self care now
According to this ‘extreme’ self care book (affliate link!) there are 17 signs which show you need self care badly.
I will share 7 of the 17 signs which I feel are relevant to us.
You need self care right this second if you have a few of these thoughts:
“It’s rare to relax or to enjoy things that are fun.”
“I can’t remember the last time I had a good night’s sleep.”
“I hate disappointing people.”
“I give in to others because it makes me feel needed, important or worthy.”
“I often feel like I’m living my life for everyone else.”
“When I’m overwhelmed, tired, or stressed, I rarely think to ask for help.”
“I sometimes feel foolish about the ways in which I’ve put the needs of others before my own.”
You can find the other 10 signs that you need self care in this self care book.

Beauty therapy and self care
You can read about the link between beauty and self care from this blog post.
Women have been using beauty routines as self care since forever.
Massaging our face, a thorough body scrub after a long day, a skin-softening bubble bath, pampering our hair with luscious masks, layering a mask on our faces and resting are all examples of beauty and self care.
What is a beauty maintenance checklist?
A beauty maintenance checklist is a list of beauty habits to keep ourselves looking and feeling good. It’s no secret that when we look good, we feel good!
A beauty maintenance checklist tracks the days which you exfoliate, mask, wash your hair or anything else you wish. It makes sure that you are clean, fresh and lookin’ good even when your life is hectic as heck!
How does a beauty maintenance checklist give us self care?
A checklist gives us some sort of control in our lives.
During times when you feel like life is spiraling out of control, focusing on what you CAN control will empower you.
Feeling empowered is mental and emotional self-care. Besides, having a healthy and glowing skin is a triple bonus!
You can also have a checklist for your meals, a fitness checklist or a self care checklist. You can easily find these online.
I’be created a blank beauty maintenance checklist for you and one more with suggested beauty maintenance activities. These activities will give you some beauty self care ideas.
