DIY Self Care: Easy Ways to Keep Your Glow at Home

DIY self care is easy once you get into the habit. We have several easy ways to maintain your glow at home, whether it’s keeping your skin looking beautiful or staying relaxed.

Did you know 32% of American adults engage in self care practices every day? We believe DIY self care delivers the best results when it becomes second nature. Since we’re dedicated to skincare and general wellness, we want to share what we’ve learned. 

We’ll explore simple techniques across skincare, relaxation, and wellness. These ideas take very little time to pull off and will help you feel better than ever. 

Create a Relaxing Atmosphere 

Everyday life comes with stress and distractions, from your ringing phone to that load of laundry you haven’t finished yet. One of the best ways to encourage DIY self care is by regularly cultivating a calming environment. While a calm environment looks a little different to each person, there are a few common starting points you can try to get started. 

Soft Lighting

Lighting is a powerful component of a self care routine. The harsh glow of your computer screen or pale fluorescent lighting can be hard on the eyes, so set up soft lighting options for your moment of peace. You can try lighting tea candles for a serene glow or setting up a few strings of fairy lights in your living room. 

Soothing Scents

Did you know scientists discovered aromatherapy can reduce pain intensity and stress? Certain scents like lavender and orange are just a few you can use to help you calm down. One of the best ways of filling up your bedroom or home studio with relaxing scents is through a diffuser. These useful little devices evaporate your favorite oil to create a rich scent that lasts for hours. You can also try an incense burner if you enjoy a hint of smokiness. 

Cozy Materials

Sometimes, you need to sit down, unclench your jaw, and let a few minutes of peace wash over you. Soft and cozy materials like knitted blankets, fuzzy pillows, and weighted blankets can help you drift off with less effort.

Weighted blankets are particularly well-suited to self-care because they feel like you're being held. Many people enjoy using them to get a deeper level of sleep during a quick nap. 

Skincare Rituals for a Healthy Glow 

We believe in the power of skincare for making you look and feel brand new. A simple morning and evening skincare routine will add structure to your day without taking too much effort. 

If you need a place to start, try this straightforward skincare regimen to keep your skin supple, fresh, and firm:

1. Narrow down the basics with a cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing routine. Washing your face removes sweat and dirt, while gentle physical exfoliation will remove stubborn dead skin. A moisturizer is crucial to seal in hydration and prevent  wrinkles.

2. Always protect your skin from the sun with an SPF moisturizer. As much as 80% of visible aging comes from constant UV exposure. 

3. Create a DIY face mask once per week to start with. You can use store-bought ingredients such as honey, avocado, or plain yogurt to seal in moisture and soothe inflammation. 

Repeat this routine twice daily with the help of relaxing scents or mood lighting. You’ll be amazed by how much better you feel. 

Microcurrent Treatment Takes Skincare Routines to Another Level

Once you’ve got the hang of a simple morning and evening skincare routine, microcurrent therapy will deliver even more powerful results. Our Myolift QT Microcurrent Treatment uses mild electric currents to enhance your body’s natural healing process. 

Your body already creates subtle electrical currents as it repairs itself and circulates blood. Microcurrent technology supplements this activity to help your body relax muscles, produce more collagen, and maintain consistent blood circulation.

You can use our Myolift QT Microcurrent Treatment daily due to its simple handheld device and our instructional app. It’s so simple to use, it’s not unlike washing your face or going to the gym. 

This quick, effective treatment will improve your DIY self care results and bring out your skin’s best.

Hydrate From Within 

While cleansing and microcurrent therapy is an enriching combination, you must maintain a healthy beverage regimen. Much of your skin’s hydration comes from within, so commit to six to eight glasses of water daily.

You can take this step further with water-infused recipes, such as soaking fruits or herbs overnight for your morning water bottle. Iced tea is another option to add even more benefits like boosted antioxidants and lowered blood pressure. 

Nourish Your Body 

Give your body the tools to fight aging and keep you feeling fresh. Well-rounded nutrition is a must-have feature of a skincare regimen, so ensure you have plenty of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. 

Some of the best additions to a skincare-friendly diet include (but aren’t limited to):

• Brussels sprouts – plenty of potassium and calcium for healthy muscles

• Blueberries – fantastic for higher collagen production for firmer skin

• Almonds – useful for reducing dry and acne-prone skin

Maintain Physical Activity and Movement

When you exercise, you keep your muscles toned and your skin looking fresh. Exercise regimens stimulate blood circulation, ensuring cells regularly receive the oxygen and nutrients they need. 

You don’t have to go all-out with a new regimen to enjoy the benefits, either. A few simple workouts you can try twice per week include:

• Yoga to stretch and relax your muscles

• Walking is a great way to get  improved blood flow

• Pilates to increase blood flow and stretch simultaneously
