1. Feed Your Skin From the Inside Out
For seven days, be really intentional about hydration and whole foods.
- Drink plenty of water or mineral-rich herbal teas (like nettle or hibiscus).
- Add glow-boosting foods: berries, leafy greens, avocados, bone broth, eggs, and healthy fats.
2. Simplify Your Routine
For one week, cut back how many products you are using on your skin and stick to a simple, natural, toxin free skincare routine:
- Cleanse with a gentle natural cleanser (oil-cleansers works beautifully).
- Treat the skin with a skin barrier safe serum (rosehip, plum, and jojoba are all wonderful).
- Moisturize with something rich in essential omega fatty acids (like tallow or emu oil).
3. Exfoliate (Just a Little!)
Choose one gentle exfoliation session during the week:
- Facial dry brushing
- Gentle kaolin grains
- Lactic acid
Don’t overdo it however! One or two light sessions help brighten the skin without stressing it.
4. Support Your Lymph + Circulation
- Do a little facial massage for 2–3 minutes each night using a natural oil or tallow balm.
- Use upward strokes, gentle pressure, and move from center outward.
- Even dry brushing your body for a minute or two helps with overall glow and softness.
Improved circulation = natural radiance.
5. Prioritize Deep Rest
Your skin literally repairs itself while you sleep (there’s a reason it’s called beauty sleep!)
For the next seven nights:
- Keep your room cool and dark.
- Limit screens before bedtime.
- Create a nighttime ritual that signals your body to wind down.
Even a few nights of truly restful sleep makes your complexion look calmer and more radiant.
6. Stress Offloading
Stress hormones can dull your skin in a surprising way, so giving your nervous system some love is key.
You might try:
- A warm bath with natural salts.
- Journaling to clear your mind.
- A few minutes of stretching.
- Deep breathing or grounding outside.
7. Red light therapy
If you have access to a red light panel, handheld light, or even a small mask, adding a few minutes a day can boost your skin’s glow quickly.
Red light encourages cellular repair, supports collagen, calms inflammation, and improves circulation — all without chemicals or irritation.
Use it on clean skin for 5–10 minutes a day this week.
