“Growing up, my mum made me moisturise every single day – now it’s an important self-care habit I never break”
I think my mum taught me the importance of moisturising around the same time I learnt the importance of brushing my teeth. And no, I’m not joking. In fact, I think I had a better understanding of the need for regular moisturising than oral hygiene for a very long time: it was simply the need to not look ashy.
The warmth of my skin meant that the oiliness of whatever product my mum or dad picked would melt into my skin with ease. I would feel like a dolphin, so slick with oil and moisture as they carried me into my room – much like one of those slippery water snake toys.
After bath time, my nan would tell my mum and her siblings to “cream up” themselves in her thick patois accent. While my childhood bath routine and my mum’s may have been completely different , the post-cleanse direction was still the same: don’t look ashy.To this day, my mum and I will go wild for a new body cream, the more bougie the better. I introduced her to thejust this month and she loved it for the high concentration of shea butter in the formula.
Those few extra minutes I take every day to care for my body really does make me feel more connected to it and, twice a month , I also use these moments to check my breasts – another habit that my mum instilled in me.
