THE GLOW GUIDE

THE GLOW GUIDE

Small acts of care for skin, body + self.

This is not about having a perfect routine. It is a quick check-in to help you see what you are already doing well, where you may be running on empty, and which tiny changes could help you feel more like yourself.

Start Here: Your Glow Check

Give yourself 1 point for every “yes.”

• I cleanse my skin without overdoing it.
• I moisturize consistently.
• I use daytime sun protection when appropriate for me.
• I drink water regularly throughout the day.
• I eat enough to support my energy instead of constantly running on fumes.
• I move my body in a way that feels good at least a few times a week.
• I get some real quiet time without my phone.
• I moisturize my body instead of only caring for my face.
• I rest before I am completely exhausted.
• I do at least one thing each week simply because it makes me feel good.

Your Score

8–10: You are already pouring into yourself.
Keep what is working. Your next level is consistency, not adding more.

5–7: Your glow routine has a good foundation.
Pick one or two habits that would make your week feel easier and focus there.

0–4: Your routine needs less pressure, not more.
Choose one tiny act of care and make that your starting point.

1. Skin: Are You Doing Too Much?

A good routine does not have to be complicated. For most people, the goal is to support the skin rather than constantly challenge it.

Your simple check:

• Cleanse gently.
• Moisturize with something your skin actually likes.
• Protect during the day.
• Add a facial oil as a finishing step if your skin enjoys it.

Try this: If your skin feels tight, irritated, flaky, or overwhelmed, simplify before adding another product.

2. Hydration: Make It Easier to Remember

Water supports normal body function and can be part of a healthy self-care routine. It is not a miracle skin treatment, and you do not need to obsess over a perfect number.

• Keep water where you already spend time.
• Drink with meals.
• Refill your bottle when you finish it instead of waiting until later.
• Add fruit, herbs, or sparkling water if that helps you enjoy it.

Glow check: Is drinking water easy to remember in your current routine? If not, change the setup, not your personality.

3. Body Care Counts Too

Your face does not have to receive all the attention. A few minutes after bathing can turn ordinary body care into something that feels grounding.

Five-minute reset:

1. Take your shower or bath.
2. Pat skin dry instead of rubbing.
3. Apply lotion or body oil while skin is slightly damp.
4. Put on something comfortable.
5. Leave your phone alone for five minutes.

4. Self-Care That Actually Fits Real Life

Self-care does not have to mean a spa day. It can look like:

• Going to bed thirty minutes earlier.
• Eating before you are starving.
• Saying no without writing a paragraph to explain yourself.
• Taking a ten-minute walk.
• Doing your skincare slowly instead of rushing through it.
• Putting on clothes that make you feel beautiful on a regular day.

5. Your “Am I Pouring Into Me?” Check-In

Ask yourself:

• What has been draining me lately?
• What makes me feel most like myself?
• What am I always saying I do not have time for?
• What could I make easier instead of trying harder?
• What is one thing I can give myself this week?
