By Davina Catt

As this week marks UK Mental Health Awareness Week 2022 with the theme 'loneliness', a condition research shows now pervades all ages and demographics across the country, this year's awareness week is focused on helping people heal from the aftermath of the pandemic period.

As reports show that, across the UK, 74% people have felt 'overwhelmed or unable to cope' at some stage due to mental health stresses, psychologists are connecting the benefits of self-care with improved mental health and wellbeing. Whilst experts have found that following a simple three step skincare routine morning and evening can lower the amount of cortisol (stress hormone) in your body by up to 83%.

Giving the brain structure and stability allows it to relax, which extend to daily routines, giving you the feeling of being in control.
