Use + Practice

when my skin is hungry

Filed Under
when my skin is hungry when my skin is hungry

 

After bathing my body feels exposed

I stand naked

The water has taken the residue of the day
and what remains is warmth

Skin flushed
Softened
Luminous

Clean, unguarded
Alive

(this is when my skin is hungry)

 

I notice how differently my skin feels in the moments following a bath - softened, unguarded, and highly receptive.

That window matters.
