Daily Glow Up Routines

Daily Glow Up Routines
Simple. Sustainable. Glow-worthy. We don’t need 12-step routines or perfection. What we need is consistency—habits that are easy to stick with and make you feel good in your own skin. 



CREATE A NOURISHING ENVIRONMENT

Remember to create an environment that feels soothing and nourishing – pretty bottles, layered textures, soft lighting, calming scents! By elevating the experience, skincare transforms into an act of self-care that nurtures both your skin and your spirit. It changes how you feel in your skin.

Set the stage….

Transfer your Young Living products to lovely glass bottles. 
Arrange things on a small riser, cake stand, lovely platter, or vintage plate.
Add a lovely diffuser with a candle flicker setting.  
Diffuse Lavender and Frankincense or Stress Away. 
Add soft, organic cotton or linen towels and cloths. 

Then create your moment…

Set the mood: diffuser on, music low, phone away.
Layer your products slowly—let each one breathe.
Take deep breaths, releasing tension from the day.
Use your hands intentionally—massage, pause, enjoy
Add Frankincense to your moisturizer for grounding luxury.



MORNING GLOW ROUTINE

Start your day nourished, inside and out.


    Cleanse – Cleanse your skin with ART, BLOOM, or Mirah Cleansing Oil
    Hydrosol or Toner – Spritz Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood Hydrosol or apply ART Toner
    Serum or Oil – Apply Beauty Glow or ART Renewal Serum and allow to dry
    Moisturize – ART Light or Intensive Moisturizer
    Supplements – Longevity Softgels, Inner Beauty Collagen, Sulfurzyme
    NingXia Red + Lemon Vitality – For energy + antioxidant support


Optional Add-On: Light gua sha or facial massage to support lymph flow and circulation

As you use your skincare products, allow time for them to settle into your skin. Use those moments to breathe, pray, be present. Or if time is pressing, apply a product, get dressed, then apply the next.

If you worry about remembering your supplements, place them next to your coffee pot, toothbrush, or your bag for the day. Tie taking supplements to another task you already do to ensure you will remember!



EVENING UNWIND ROUTINE

Wind down, cleanse deep, and prep your skin to repair overnight.


    Cleanse – Remove makeup and cleanse with Mirah or ART Cleanser
    Exfoliate – Use Satin Facial Scrub (2–3x/week)
    Hydrate + Treat – Apply ART Renewal Serum or Wolfberry Eye Cream
    Moisturize – ART Intensive Moisturizer or Rose Ointment on dry spots
    Essential Oils – Apply Frankincense to the face, neck, or temples
    Diffuse – Lavender + Cedarwood for deep sleep


Tip: Keep your products in pretty glass containers by the sink or nightstand to make it feel like a ritual, not a chore.

Same thing here, let’s slow down, pause, and breathe. Remember to set the stage for nourishing self-care with your physical environment! 



WEEKLY RESET RITUAL

Give your skin a little extra love with these practices. Gua sha and dry brushing can be done daily, but even just once a week is a wonderful indulgence for your skin.


    Dry brush with Cel-Lite Magic massage
    End your day with a gua sha facial massage with Frankincense or Manuka.
    Indulge in a DIY face mask customized to your skin needs.
    Add extra Sulfurzyme or Inner Beauty Collagen to your NingXia
    Journal or meditate with Joy or Valor in the diffuser
     


DIY HONEY + BENTONITE CLAY FACE MASK

Ingredients:


    1 tablespoon bentonite clay
    1 teaspoon raw honey (manuka honey is even better if you have it)
    1–2 drops of essential oil
    (lavender for soothing, tea tree for acne-prone skin, or frankincense for anti-aging benefits)
    1–2 teaspoons filtered water or rose water (adjust for desired consistency)
    Optional: 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar for extra detox power
     


Instructions:


    Add the bentonite clay to a non-metal bowl.
    Slowly mix in water or rose water. Stir until you get a smooth, spreadable paste. You can tweak the texture by adding more water or clay as needed.
    Add honey and mix thoroughly.  The honey will help bind the mask and bring its antibacterial + moisturizing powers.
    Add your essential oil and mix again. Just a few drops is enough!
     


How to Use:


    Apply the mask evenly to your clean face, avoiding the eye area.
    Let it sit for 10–15 minutes — don’t let it completely dry out if you have sensitive or dry skin.
    Rinse with warm water and pat your skin dry.
    Follow with a light moisturizer or facial oil.
    Use 1–2 times per week depending on your skin type.


 

Your daily glow routine doesn’t have to be complicated—it just has to be consistent. Pick one, start small, and let it evolve with you.

 


Meet Traci Stensaas, a horse loving, homeschooling, boy mom.

 
Our family used to face constant bouts of illness. My son suffered from reactive airway disease as a toddler. Every passing bug knocked him down. We became well-acquainted with doctor visits and nebulizer treatments, trying anything to ease his breathing troubles. I believed that cleaning our home using store-bought cleaners was a good thing and that I was helping him get better.

Then I discovered the truth. Those chemicals were causing more harm than good. I found there were options that not only cleaned effectively but also boosted our health. I started with simple swaps. We all started a healing journey. The transformation was incredible. He is an athlete and has enjoyed all kinds of sports like football, basketball, cross country, track, and Taekwondo. We're all healthy, happy, and thankful for these positive changes.

I now support other moms and families in replacing toxic products with safe, clean options, one step at a time. If that's you, get in touch—I’d love to help.
