Each of us carries scars that others may not know about. It is the kind that has shattered our self-esteem and blew up our confidence. Some have experienced it in a form of insecurity due to people’s mocking and the beauty standards of our society. While others had it hard in life succumbing to exhaustion and mental breakdown. We call these battle scars because it goes deeper than skin and it can only be healed by caring and loving ourselves. As a company that envisions a scar-free nation, Derma Roller Philippines delivers premium quality products you can trust to partner in your self-care journey through skincare.

What is the importance of self-care?

Life can be very busy and stressful especially, now that we’re living in a fast-paced environment. Between looking after our families’ needs, making a living from 9 to 5pm and keeping up with our social lives and other responsibilities, taking the time to care for ourselves can often be neglected. Nevertheless, committing to a “me-time” is really important as it improves our mental, emotional and physical well-being. While others may see this as selfishness and indulgence, taking care of ourselves is the best gift we can give to other people, especially to our loved ones. Because when we are fully nourished and refreshed, we are in a better position to care for others.

Rest and self-care is important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.
