The Beauty Move That Makes Rosario Dawson Feel Especially Empowered

One of the reasons she's decided to partner with Burt's Bees is the brand's emphasis on self-care and rebalancing the skin and body — an important lesson Dawson had to learn the hard way. "I grew up in an abandoned building, so I thought shelter, food, and those basic things are important," she said. "One of the things I've noticed after so many years with that mentality is that I'm too used to pushing past my discomfort because you've got to get things done. It's too much of a compromise. I ended up hitting too many walls and recognised I was running on empty in a lot of really critical areas."
"I've recognised that what's also important is your relationship to your community and your own self-care — that's just as important as having a roof over your head. Practices like meditation and just general mindfulness are critical, at least for me, because otherwise you're crawling over the finish line and collapsing. That does no good for anyone."
