What inspires Cauteaux (you can also call her Cat) about skincare is not just the physical benefits, but also the emotional and psychological ones. She feels that a person’s glow is a multifaceted concept that encompasses both physical and emotional aspects of well-being. It is a reflection of how they take care of their mind, body, and spirit. Through her passion for skincare she has learned the importance of self-care and self-love. Taking care of our skin is not just a superficial act, but a way to show ourselves the love and respect we deserve. It is a way to connect with our bodies, nurture our souls, and boost our overall well-being.
