With so many self-care trends circulating on social media, it’s easy to wonder: are they actually helpful, or could they be toxic? In this video, we explore this important question and reveal some popular practices that may not be serving you well.

We know that self-care is essential for personal growth and mental well-being, but not all trends are created equal. This video will help you understand which self-care habits are doing more harm than good, and why it’s important to be aware of toxic self-care trends.

Our goal is to provide you with real, supportive self-care tips and strategies for a healthy lifestyle that promotes true self-love and personal improvement. If you’re feeling confused or overwhelmed by conflicting self-care advice, this video is here to guide you toward practices that are truly good for your mental health.

Disclaimer: This video is based on our research and opinions, and there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. There is always nuance in everything. What works for one person may not work for another, so take what works for you and adapt it to your own needs.
