Too often, we neglect giving ourselves time to relax, recuperate, and detach from our busy day-to-day lives. Amongst everything else, it can sometimes feel impossible to dedicate more than a few minutes to your daily skincare routine. However, what if we told you that dedicating time to your daily skincare routine is more than just a beauty regimen? Truly, it’s an essential act of self-care.
Carving out time each morning and night to nurture your skin’s health goes beyond skincare—it’s about honoring yourself. We’re here to help you embrace this practice and show that skincare IS self-care.
So, take a deep breath, relax, and let’s create a personal ritual that nurtures your skin, body, and soul.
Creating A Self-Care Ritual
Whether we realize it or not, our days are filled with rituals and routines. From waking up and brewing coffee to scrolling through our phones, these daily habits shape how we start our day and influence our mood.
Adding intentional rituals like skincare into your morning and night routine can create a meaningful self-care practice while tending to your skin. It’s not just about following the steps; it’s about being present in the moment and prioritizing your health in a world that often feels like a never-ending to-do list.
How To Make a Skincare/Self-Care Ritual
☀️ Morning Ritual
Set the Mood
Start your morning with intention—keep your phone on "Do Not Disturb," find a quiet space, light a candle, and play upbeat music. This will nurture your nervous system and set you up for a calm, energized day.
Cleanse Away the Stress
Use a gentle cleanser to remove impurities such as makeup, bacteria, excess oil, and sweat that may have built up over night. This refreshes your skin, leaving it calm and prepped for the day.
Moisturize and Protect
Seal your routine with a hydrating moisturizer and remember to protect your skin with organic, mineral-based sunscreen to block UV rays and environmental stressors.
💤 Night Ritual
Unwind
Take a break from your devices, dim the lights, and spray lavender essential oil on your pillows. This will set the mood for a calming, restful nighttime ritual and help you sleep more deeply.
Deep Clean
Wash away makeup, dirt, and pollutants with a cleansing facial wash. Follow up with an exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and give your skin a deep, refreshing cleanse.
Restore Overnight
Apply a waterless serum, a skincare trend making waves this fall (check out our blog for more details!). Finish by locking in moisture with a rich, hydrating facial cream.
Reflect
End your self-care routine and ritual with a moment of gratitude. Take a deep breath and acknowledge the self-care you’ve given yourself—it’s a powerful way to close your day!
The Power of Prioritizing Yourself
Creating a skincare routine that doubles as a meaningful ritual sends a powerful message to yourself: "I am worth it." Taking care of yourself in small moments makes it easier to check in with your needs and nourish your body, mind, and spirit in more ways as you move through your day.
