Taking Good Care of Yourself: The Ultimate Self-Care Ritual
Give yourself permission to practice self-care rituals that prioritize your own standards of happiness.
In today’s busy, over-stimulated world, taking the time to slow down can often
feel overly indulgent and unproductive, but it’s actually the opposite.
Allowing yourself the time
and space to rest and revive is one of the best ways to stimulate clarity and
increase an overall sense of happiness.
Take moments to take care
of yourself, physically, emotionally and spiritually. To make the most of your
me-time, create a ritual of consistent practices—routine habits that are
nourishing and motivating and can be realistically sustained.
To get you started, we’ve
curated the ultimate self-care ritual, specially designed to soothe and
improve. Plus, a few of our favorite products.
Skin Brushing. A morning
moment, dry brushing offers energizing qualities while improving the look and
feel of your skin. Just 3-5 minutes will buzz your body’s connections.
Skin is the human body’s
largest organ, and skin brushing helps us keep it detoxified with a tantalizing
and awakening effect.
A healthy, invigorating
way to turn sluggish and dull into bright, smooth and glowing. For travelling,
we love the Dry Body
Brush by EcoTools. (EcoTools produces 100% cruelty-free and vegan
synthetic makeup brushes, sponges, applicators and bath accessories that are
both stylish and eco-friendly.)
Oil Massage. Follow skin
brushing with nutrient-rich, organic body oil for a calming, soothing effect
that replenishes dry skin—locks in moisture and ensures glowing softness,
firmness and radiance. We opt for pure jojoba
oil, as it’s the closest molecule to our natural skin.
HD Infrared Sauna Blanket.
Perfect at-home or on-the-go, sauna
blankets provide a slimming, detoxifying and mood-heightening
experience—using radiant infrared heat to relax and revive the body.
Reduce stress and anxiety,
purify your system and trigger a feel-good dose of your brain’s happiness
chemicals: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins.
Face Mask + Hair Mask. A
nice, gentle way to enhance quiet, calm reflections. Face and hair masks put
you into total spa mode and boost confidence in appearance. To save on time,
let your hair and face masks set while soaking in your sauna blanket.
Infrared heat raises your
core body temperature, opening your pores to better absorb face masks. Also,
the heat from your scalp will help activate and enhance nourishing hair masks.
For the face, we love Clear Improvement
Charcoal Honey Mask to Purify & Nourish by Origins—formulated
with bamboo charcoal, this purifying mask deep cleans and draws out
deep-dwelling pore-clogs, impurities and debris, while golden wildflower and
fermented honey nourish the skin.
For hair, we look for castor oil,
which stimulates natural hair growth while restoring and moisturizing damaged
strands and nurturing the scalp.
Breathwork + Meditation. Where
consciousness and subconscious meet. Focus on slow, intentioned, mindful
breathing to encourage deep emotional, psychological and physical cleansing. We
can participate in our breath and immediately feel the effects.
Enter into meditative
states, letting go of unhealthy thoughts, embracing clarity, establishing
positive control of energies…effective and endlessly beneficial, regardless of
busy schedules and limited spaces.
