We hope you all have had a sweet summer and are enjoying the slow transition into a new season. ?? If you been following, selfmade is taking a break from hustle culture and slowing all the way down to rest our nervous systems. We’re calling this period of time?Rest Mode, which is our response to a society that’s constantly telling us to move faster. And just like feeling burnt out isn’t a solo experience, the radical act of resting is also meant to be shared. We're creating a series that features our community’s stories of rest and we’d love to feature yours! There are three questions that we have for you below. Feel free to share as much as you feel comfortable. Reply to the post with your answers and or DM us! As a thank you for sharing your story with us, we'll gift you one selfmade product of your choice + our newly published NeuroBeauty Field Guide! Here are the questions: 1. List 3-5 things that you currently need rest from. This could be people, world events, emotions, projects, work, school, relationships, or anything else that’s weighing you down. If you’d like, you can share a little about how and why they’re making you tired. 2. If you had as much time as you needed to rest, who would you be? How would you feel? 3. What are your go-to rituals that help you tend to yourself?

We’re?anti-grind?culture, rest with?us. Our rest mode has been activated and we're OOO until??? You'll find us where rest is *productive*. Learn more: https://beselfmade.co/

We love Taylor deDiego's take on the future of beauty and wellbeing after reading about our sciency approach to neurocosmetics in this PopSugar, Inc. article: "Stephanie Lee hopes neurocosmetics will teach consumers more about their bodies and the direct relationship between skin and their mental state. "The discipline and advancement of psychodermatology posits that emotional and stress intervention is a key piece to dermatological health," she says. As research continues to explore the mind-skin connection, neurocosmetics have the potential to make beauty even more holistic, supporting both your skin and mental health."

We were born with it! It = psychodermatology powered by neuroscience. Check us out in The Atlantic as they navigate if Neurocosmetics and psychodermatological products are real or just more mental health washing.
