One way or another, our beauty journeys can be traced back to the experiences we shared with our mums. From the moment we first scavenged her make-up bag for a sneaky lipstick top-up, spritzed her signature scent to discover perfume or gushed at her elaborate haircare regimen, inevitably, every little nudge and lesson helped us form our perception of beauty, self-care and confidence. We unintentionally end up carrying these with us into womanhood.
Beyond the usual tips and tricks, our mums have also passed down traditions that are foundational to our cultures, making us cherish our heritage all the more. Whether it’s a homemade face mask or a certain way to braid your hair, these beauty rituals are about so much more than vanity. They serve as a celebration of where we come from and a reminder to embrace our roots through generations.
