• Kris Bernal recently took to Instagram to post a beautiful gentle reminder
• The viral message was for her fellow mommies and was about self-care
• In her post, Kris posted a mirror selfie alongside the caption that stirred buzz
• Needless to say, many lauded Kris for reminding mommies about it online

Kris Bernal, an actress and first-time mom, recently took to her Instagram Story to share a poignant and beautifully-timed message about the often-overlooked necessity of self-care in the tough journey of motherhood. In a world that frequently idolizes the 'martyr mom' who sacrifices everything for her family, her words serve as a gentle yet firm reminder that prioritizing one's well-being is not a luxury, but a vital component of being a present and happy mother as well.

The image, which shows the actress in a bright, patterned yellow jumpsuit, captures a moment of personal reprieve and rejuvenation. Her accompanying caption strikes a chord with mothers everywhere who might be navigating the demanding, 24/7 "full-time job" that is motherhood.

"Being a mom is a full-time job – but that doesn't mean we should forget about ourselves," Kris wrote. She then drove home the core of her message: "For moms, taking time for beauty treatments isn't just about vanity - it's about reclaiming confidence, one glow-up at a time."

The post subtly reframes the narrative around self-care, particularly cosmetic or 'beauty' treatments, moving the focus from superficiality to empowerment, and one that is self-care.

She further expressed gratitude to the skin clinic she visited, acknowledging their role in reminding her of this truth: "Thank you, @kamisetaskinclinic, for reminding me that self-care isn't selfish - it's empowering." This last statement is perhaps the most resonant, directly challenging the deeply-ingrained guilt many mothers feel when they dedicate time to themselves.

The post is a continuation of her candid journey into motherhood. Since welcoming her child, the actress has been refreshingly open about the highs and lows of her new chapter, including the challenging moments of exclusive breastfeeding, postpartum body acceptance, and the struggle to balance her personal identity with her new role. By sharing this moment of self-pampering, she offers solidarity to her fellow mommies, validating their need for personal time as well.
