Hi there,
Yesterday, I shared about Queen Esther’s 12-month beauty preparation. Today, let’s dive deeper into how we can create our own sacred beauty rituals.
I recently discovered something fascinating while studying ancient beauty practices. The oils used in Esther’s preparation weren’t just random choices – they were specifically selected for their transformative properties. Just like the frankincense used then (known as “liquid gold” for the skin), each ingredient served a divine purpose.
“And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.” – Esther 1:8 (KJV)
This verse, though speaking of a different context, reveals an important principle: intention and purpose behind every action. The same applies to our beauty routines.
Here’s what I’ve learned about creating a sacred beauty ritual:
- Time and Space
Create a dedicated time and space for your beauty routine. Just as Esther had her appointed time, set aside specific moments for self-care. - Intentional Ingredients
Choose products with purposeful ingredients. Ancient wisdom used rose hip oil for restoration, sweet almond oil for nourishment, and hemp seed oil for rejuvenation. - Mindful Application
Transform your skincare routine into a moment of meditation. Each application becomes an act of self-love and spiritual connection. - Consistent Practice
Remember, Esther’s preparation wasn’t a one-time event – it was a dedicated 12-month journey. Consistency creates transformation.
Tomorrow, I’ll share more about how these ancient beauty practices can specifically address modern-day concerns like stress and environmental damage.
With grace and purpose,
Julianne
