In her second column for BritishVogue, bellamackie explores the changing face of self-care – and what it looks like during lockdown.

in the past few years. The activist and writer Audre Lorde spoke about self-care as a radical act – looking after yourself in a world hostile to your very existence – but the term was inevitably co-opted by brands looking to sell you a bunch of stuff to make you feel better. Bath oil is self-care, weekly manicures are self-care, new shoes are definitely self-care. Self-care has become, for many of us, a way of justifying treats.

But in this strange new world, this has all gone out the window. Our little trips to the salon are no longer possible. We cannot browse the make-up aisle in Superdrug for a quick pick-me-up. Why bother putting on your glad rags when you won’t be leaving your four walls for the foreseeable?It’s not surprising that my skin has erupted since we all went into lockdown. It’s fairly predictable that my nails are bitten and gnarly.
