Game-Changing Beauty Habits That Actually Work
When it comes to beauty and wellness, the secret isn’t always in the trendiest product—it’s in the consistent rituals that support how you feel from the inside out. After years of trying everything from $300 creams to intense treatments, I’ve found a handful of habits that are actually worth the hype—and the results speak for themselves.
Here are some beauty habits that can truly change your glow-up game—plus my favorite product picks to support each one.
1. Sculpt Your Face with Daily Lymphatic Drainage
You don’t need a facialist to experience the benefits of facial sculpting. A daily gua sha ritual can:
- Boost circulation
- De-puff and lift the skin
- Release jaw tension
Pro Tip: Use a facial oil for glide and consistency. Add this tool to your morning or nighttime routine while watching Netflix, and watch your face slowly transform.
My favorite facial sculpting tool – Facial Massager Red-Light-Therapy-for-Face and Neck
2. Reset Your Nervous System with Micro-Relaxation
If you’re always “on,” your stress will show on your face. One of the most calming nightly habits I swear by? Lying on an acupressure mat before bed. It helps melt muscle tension and deeply relax the body—without meds or screens.
My go-to acupressure mat for nervous system recovery—Acupressure Mat Set
3. Support Your Body from the Inside Out
You can’t glow if your body is running on empty. I make daily internal support part of my beauty practice.
A few of my ride-or-dies:
Clean protein to nourish hair, skin & muscle
This one tastes like a milkshake
Essential aminos to build lean strength & improve skin elasticity
My daily aminos
Grass-fed meat sticks for a protein-rich, on-the-go snack
The cleanest snack I’ve found
4. Sleep = The Original Botox
You can’t fake a well-rested face. I support my nighttime wind-down with two non-negotiables:
A magnesium-rich nighttime supplement
This one helps me fall (and stay) asleep
A weighted vest walk before dinner to lower cortisol
Game-changing for stress management
5. Exfoliate, Hydrate, Repeat
Forget overlining—plump, hydrated lips are always in style. I rotate between a gentle ginger-infused lip mask and a collagen-boosting balm to keep my lips smooth and defined.
My go-to lip mask – Sielkin Overnight Lip Mask Lip Butter Balm
6. Never Skip SPF, But Glow Up While You’re At It
I get it—most sunscreens leave a white cast or feel heavy. That’s why I switched to a tinted glow screen that doubles as my primer. It adds a golden finish while protecting your skin daily.
My favorite glow SPF – e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30
7. Get That Lit-From-Within Look
Nothing fakes a facial like a good highlighter. I apply a subtle molten glow to the cheekbones and collarbone after my skincare—before I even think about makeup.
This one is perfect year-round – L’Oreal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion
8. Heal + Fade Scars Naturally
Got dark spots or old acne scars? Don’t waste time on harsh treatments. Silicone tape is one of the most underhyped tools for reducing raised scars and discoloration.
The scar tool I keep repurchasing – Wifamy Silicone Scar Sheets
9. Treat Your Feet Like Your Face
Smooth, soft feet aren’t just for summer. I use a hydrating foot mask or balm once a week to prevent calluses and keep my skin baby-soft.
This one feels flirty and luxe – Moisturizing Foot Mask with Shea Butter and Goat Milk
10. Hydration Is Your Foundation
Want glowing skin? Drink your water and support mitochondrial hydration (yes, it’s a thing). One of my newer habits is adding a daily hydration multiplier with minerals and electrolytes that fuels my body and skin at a cellular level.

Final Thoughts
True beauty routines don’t just focus on your face—they start with how you feel, think, sleep, and treat your body. Pick one or two habits to start with, be consistent, and you’ll start noticing your own “glow-up” faster than you think.
