NEW YEAR, NO ROUTINE W GLORIA

When my team presented the idea for me to share my beginning of the year routine, or how I like to start my new year out - I felt a little bit stumped. Which is unlike me because I used to be the type of person that had 1 million rituals and ways to ring in the upcoming year, remove “what wasn’t serving me,” and the like.

These days I liken myself more like a pendulum between The Dude and Maude Lebowski… Kinda whatever wants to go with the flow, man… I think that’s due to about two years of extreme life tests, loss, stress, mental health revelations, and burn out.

Coming out on the other end of that, I have been taking it “easy” and letting go of a lot of control I once gripped hard onto. With that said… one thing that hasn’t gone out the window is my skincare routine, if you can believe it. I will always keep a pretty consistent AM + PM routine with myself and I gotta give myself credit. This year I will be turning 40, and my skin is looking pretty good moving into this exciting time.

Also, I am trying to be more mindful of my liver and detoxing systems. I need to be the person that preps or I won't do it on the regular. So I have been prepping a pitcher of lemon water for my mornings, as well as a dense vegetable soup to eat throughout the day; getting my veggie consumption in check. I can tend to eat mostly bread otherwise. Additionally, journaling or vision boarding is on heavy rotation when I have the time.

2 // Moving into Deep Serum. My holy grail. I formulated this oil because I had terrible acne through my entire 20’s that left me with really dull, scarred skin. This oil has soothed and given me back a glow I actually never had. I love to give my face a massage with my face tool, de-puffing and distressing my face and neck.





3 // I finish everything off with a few mists of the Basil Yarrow Mist. It helps awaken my senses, tones my skin, and refreshes my bed head hair. 

PM :

1 // Once again, I rinse off my entire day with The Wash. I love washing my hair with this as well, it's so nourishing that sometimes I don’t even need to use conditioner. After using I always wake up with beautiful natural waves.

 

2 // About 1-2 times a week I use my Resurface Scrub over my entire body and face for an insanely soft and polished result.


 

3 + 4 // I love layering on my Deep Serum and Moisture Riser Cream at night for added hydration while I sleep. It’s almost like a sleep mask and when I wake up, my skin loves me so much. Super supple and soft.
