Hey friend!
Tommy here, founder of The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company.
I saw that today is International Self-Care Day, and if I'm honest, it's not a day I'd normally have marked on my calendar. But the more I thought about it, the more it felt worth writing to you about, because self-care is something I think we normally talk about a lot louder than we actually practise.
For me, it's rarely anything grand.
Most evenings, once the house is quiet, I run a bath and tip in a couple of tablespoons of our Luxury No.1 Bath Salts. I'll steep in there longer than I probably should, so that by the time I'm out, I'm a different person to the one who climbed in.
I use the same Luxury No.1 Soap I've used for years now, the one we still make the traditional cold-processed way, and afterwards I apply a good amount of the Luxury No.1 Whipped Body Butter and work it into my elbows and shins, which always seem to need it most.
I think that's really what self-care is, underneath all the noise around it. Not a treatment or a purchase, but a moment you protect and take for yourself.
Skincare has always been my way in. It might be something else for you. Either way, I hope today gives you a reason to take that moment, even a short one.
Now, a small heads-up. We've been quietly working on expanding our face care range, and we'll be launching what's next soon. I can't say much more than that just yet, but if you'd like to be among the first to know when it's ready, you can sign up to our early access list now.
Thank you for your continued support of our brand, even if it's just watching all of our reels 😊,
Warmest wishes
