Here’s a fun little question for today: what beauty or self-maintenance routines actually feel worth it to you these days?
I’m thinking mostly about recurring appointments and upkeep like hair color, facials, Botox, massages, manicures, waxing, lashes, laser treatments, etc. — but I’d also love to hear about anything else that takes regular time, money, or effort and still earns a permanent place in your routine.
Do you:
- color your hair or get root touchups regularly?
- get massages, facials, or other wellness appointments?
- do Botox or other anti-aging treatments? (here’s a link to our last discussion on “aging intentionally“)
- keep up with manicures, lashes, waxing, threading, or similar salon maintenance?
- have any standing appointments that take real logistical effort but still feel worth it?
- used to do more upkeep than you do now?
I feel like my own routines have changed a lot over the years. This is partly because life got busier, partly because priorities changed, and partly because aging itself changes the equation. I still love the idea of regular massages, for example, but I get them very irregularly. I used to thread my eyebrows every 6 weeks or so, but one of the strange “perks” of aging is that there’s simply less hair growth to manage. Other maintenance issues went away due to choices I made — my laser hair removal worked so well that I almost never think about shaving anymore.
Have your routines changed over time? Have you streamlined things intentionally, or are there services/products you now consider absolutely worth the upkeep?
