25 Ways to Bring a Smile to Your Face (& Others) on World Smile Day

Fresh faced and glowing

At BELatina, we are always true to our nature — we are proud of who we are and the culture we’ve inherited.

Are you a powerful mamacita who wears a cute lippie under her mask? Us too! Whether it’s the beauty of your own natural lips, or a beautiful Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm, it feels good to feel beautiful and smile. Plus, smiling is healing. Not only does smiling elevate our mood and relieve stress – but it is believed to make us happier, improve sleep, and extend our lifespan.

So, why don’t we do it more? Well, between social distancing, wearing masks, and navigating a new world, smiles continue to be much harder to come by these days. But they’ve also never been so necessary. 

Don’t worry, we got you. October 1st is World Smile Day and Burt’s Bees and us are helping you #ShowYourSmile via moments of joy and meaningful connection. Inspired by nature’s beauty and resilience, we too are reminded that there is strength in vulnerability and the power to make big change through small acts of kindness.

Remember, BELatina is all about empowering every Latina and making sure we set everyone up for success, and Burt’s Bees is all about channeling your natural beauty, and stepping into your confidence. So here are 25 ways to bring a smile to your face and the faces of others on World Smile Day and beyond.
