You are:
The standards you uphold
The boundaries you enforce
The habits you repeat
The thoughts you entertain
The energy you allow
The risks you take
The way you speak to yourself
The love you accept
The beliefs you challenge
The discipline you maintain
The company you keep
Choose wisely
reapply sun screen every 2 to 3 hours. don’t use anything under 30.
korean products usually already have sunscreen in them.
use a different exfoliator for your face than you do for your body. your face needs one that’s not as aggressive
you might start to break out more upon using a new, good product. this is normal. let the bad stuff be flushed out and keep using it.
I know it’s annoying but drink. your. water.
don’t use coconut oil on your face, ESPECIALLY not if you’re prone to acne.
don’t use glossier products, the ingredients are shit.
don’t let the water in the shower hit your face too much, the pressure damages the skin.
change your pillow sheet every 3 days (oily skin) to once a week.
stop touching your face for god’s sake.
don’t forget to treat your neck too!
regularly exfoliating your hands will slow down hand aging, too.
if something doesn’t work, throw it away or gift it to someone else. don’t keep using it.
start using a serum.
matcha tea contains waaaaay more antioxidants than your average green tea.
honey & salmon are good for your skin. also limit your dairy intake.
try to (deep) cleanse your face in the evening.
and don’t forget that lasting good skin takes time and consistency. ♔
guide to a evening routine 𝜗𝜚⋆₊˚ 🐈⬛🎀✨
your night sets the tone for tomorrow, which is why having a peaceful and intentional evening routine is so so important. its your special time to unwind, reset, and wind down. of course you can do these steps in whatever order feels right for you, your routine should soothe and support your needs. a good evening routine helps improve your sleep, lowers stress and creates a space comfortable for mindfulness, self love and peace. sweet dreams and enjoy! 🎀
UNWINDING:
unwinding at night is all about slowing down and letting your body know it’s time to relax. i love dimming the lights, playing soft music or subliminals, lighting a candle and just breathing. you can journal, reflect on your day, or just lay in bed and check in with yourself. your energy deserves softness after a long day.
SKINCARE:
your skincare routine should feel like a ritual—not a chore. it’s a moment just for you. cleansing the day away, moisturizing, and pampering yourself makes you feel clean, dolly, and cared for. even just washing your face and applying your favorite serum can boost your mood.
STRETCHING + YOGA:
doing 5-10 minutes of gentle yoga or stretching at night can completely shift your energy. it helps calm your nervous system, release tension, and reconnect with your body. plus, it feels so good to move with intention.
READING:
reading before bed instead of scrolling is such a dreamy habit. it calms your mind and helps you fall asleep easier. you can read anything you like—romance, fantasy, a cozy self-help—but even a few pages helps. it feels so much better to end the day with words than a screen.
WARM BATH OR SHOWER:
a warm bath or shower is one of the best things you can do for your body and your mind before bed. it literally rinses the stress off you. add bubbles, oils, salts—whatever makes it feel soft and special. when you step out clean and cozy, it’s like becoming a new version of you, ready for rest.
GRATITUDE:
before sleep, take a few moments to say thank you. list three things you’re grateful for, even tiny ones. this shifts your mindset into peace + abundance. it’s such a simple thing, but it makes a huge difference. gratitude reminds you how amazing life already is.
