With everything that’s going, it’s tough to decide what’s appropriate to cover in the beauty world right now. Our thinking is this: A relaxing soak with some newly discovered bath salts, a semblance of normalcy found during our regular skin-routine, or simply having a hand cream that gives us a little comfort are all things that help rest our minds for a minute—which is a very good thing. These beauty brands think so too and are helping the cause in various ways by supporting coronavirus relief efforts, displaced industry professionals and the heroes on the front lines.
