We get asked all the time about the link between a male grooming and cosmetics company and male mental health.
Obviously, there’s the obvious, direct link between MESOA For Men and CALM, the Campaign Against Living Miserably; 10% of all our UK profits being donated to CALM.
But it goes far deeper than that.
We all know the hygiene benefits of having a shower, the aesthetic benefits of styling one’s hair and beard, and the aroma benefits of applying a deodorant or cologne, but whilst doing all that, are you aware of the mental health benefits too?
Self-esteem
Looking good on the outside, and generally taking care of yourself will help boost self-esteem, self-worth and therefore self-confidence.
Routine
When feeling down and depressed it’s easy to slip out of your routine. Fighting that urge and maintaining a routine can, in-turn, help combat negative feelings. So, take the time to look after yourself; spend 10-15 minutes everyday on your physical appearance to help yourself mentally.
We’re by no means suggesting a quick shower is the cure to depression or anxiety, but it’s the small things that can sometimes make a difference and give us a small boost.
So take time out of your busy schedule to spend some time on yourself today.
