easy magic during your skincare routine: cleansing, grounding, purifying, blessing with abundance.
cleansing: when using your cleanser to first wash your face, imagine all the dirt and grime leftover in your energy gliding off you. visualize the cleanser wiping your slate clean, making what was once foggy clear.
🌸 add crushed pink salt to your cleanser (once a week) for an exfoliant. *edit: or use finer salt, oatmeal or citrus peels for a softer and less abrasive scrub. do your research and figure out what works with your skin! if it’s too abrasive for your face, try using on the soles of your feet for further grounding and clearing. visualize the salt purifying and smoothing over the rough edges in your life. add rose petals or lavender for gentle exfoliant and aroma, visualize love energy pouring into your aura, taking over all low-vibrations and amplifying them with love.
masking : use a clay mask after cleansing (2-3x times a week). clay is of the earth, and so by adding a mixture of water/oils/clay to your face you are restoring earth energy to yourself. visualize the clay activating the roots within you, encouraging them to grow and stretch deeper into the earth. continue to visualize until it’s time to wash the mask off.
🌿 fun oil combos to add to your mask: rosehip/lavender (soothing acne scar treatment), tea tree/apple cider vinegar both diluted with water (intensive acne treatment), lavender/mint tea brewed water (soothing and revitalizing).
toning: after cleansing, use a toner to restore pH balance of skin. use witch hazel, apple cider vinegar diluted in water, or rosewater after cleansing. spray onto cotton ball and lightly tap across face. toners are purifying and protective. visualize a strong protective energy field growing around you, imagine yourself becoming more secure and confident. you are safe, you are protected.
moisturizing: use a natural carrier oil to finish the routine, like grapeseed oil (all skin types, oily and acne especially) or avocado (deep moisture). all skin types benefit from carrier oils because they effectively manage the amount of oil your skin produces and restore damaged skin cells. as you rub a dime size portion of carrier oil into your skin, visualize yourself watering the seeds of your intentions. visualize your intentions coming to fruition, gradually and steadily. as you moisturize your skin, affirm that you are fertile ground for all your intentions to manifest.
