We live in fast-paced times. Today’s woman is a professional, mother, entrepreneur, partner, manager of her own life and, even so, she feels that she needs to always be present, always available, always impeccable. But who takes care of the woman who takes care of everything? Self-care can no longer be seen as just a gesture of vanity or an occasional whim. It is a powerful tool for mental health, a necessary respite to balance the chaos of everyday life.
Science has already proven that moments of deep relaxation reduce levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and increase the production of endorphins, promoting well-being and mental clarity.
When a woman allows herself to stop and do a skin cleansing, for example, she is not only taking care of her appearance, but allowing her body and mind to slow down and renew themselves. Simply touching the skin during treatment can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for feelings of calm and relaxation. Likewise, a relaxation massage is not just a physical relief, but a way to release emotional tensions accumulated over the days.
Going to the hairdresser, getting your makeup done, getting your eyebrows done, putting gel polish on your nails – all of this, when done with intention, becomes a ritual of reconnecting with yourself. The world stops for a moment and, in the reflection of the mirror, the woman sees herself again, recognizes herself beyond the roles she plays. It’s not about frivolity, it’s about well-being. About remembering that you deserve this time for yourself.
In the long run, these little breaks directly impact the way we view life. A woman who takes care of herself, who respects her free time, becomes more confident, more centered, lighter. Relationships improve, productivity increases, anxiety is reduced. At Bonadea, we believe that luxury is not just about excellent treatment, but about the experience of allowing yourself to stop, breathe and take care of yourself. Because when a woman feels good, everything around her changes. Bonadea – where beauty and well-being meet.
