Self care gets a lot of attention in February, but it is often framed as something emotional or indulgent. At About Face Aesthetics & Wellness, self care is practical. It is about making informed decisions that support your skin, your health, and how you feel long term.

Whether you visit our Union or Chapin location, self care here is not about trends. It is about choosing treatments that work and building plans that make sense for your body and lifestyle.

What Self Care Means in Aesthetic and Wellness Medicine

In aesthetic and wellness care, self care is preventative. It is the difference between reacting to problems later and supporting your skin and health before issues become harder to correct.

Clients who prioritize self care often see:

• Healthier skin texture and tone over time
• More consistent energy levels
• Better response to treatments
• Improved confidence that comes from feeling well, not just looking good

This is why February is a good time to reassess routines and make intentional adjustments.

Skin Focused Self Care

Skin is often the first place people notice change, especially during winter. Cold weather, dry air, and slower cell turnover can leave skin looking dull, uneven, or congested.

Professional skin treatments are a foundational part of self care because they address concerns at a level home care cannot.

At About Face Aesthetics & Wellness, skin focused self care may include facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments depending on your goals. These services help stimulate collagen, improve tone and texture, and maintain long term skin health.

Wellness Based Self Care

Self care also extends beyond the skin. Many clients come in because they feel off physically, even if they cannot point to a single issue.

Wellness based services support internal balance, which often improves how the skin looks and how the body feels overall. Hormone support, metabolic care, and personalized wellness plans are common starting points for clients looking to feel more like themselves again.

This type of self care is not about extremes or quick fixes. It is about understanding what your body needs and responding appropriately.

Why Customization Matters

Self care only works when it is tailored. A treatment or plan that works well for one person may not be the right fit for another.

That is why consultations are an important part of the process. They allow us to recommend services based on your goals, not assumptions. Customization also allows self care to evolve as your needs change.

Clients in Union and Chapin often combine aesthetic and wellness services to create a balanced approach that supports both appearance and overall health.

Making Self Care Part of Your Routine

Self care is most effective when it is consistent. February can be a helpful reset, but the real value comes from building habits that last beyond the season.

That might look like scheduling regular skin treatments, reassessing wellness goals, or simply being more proactive about care instead of waiting for concerns to worsen.
