Your skin is a reflection of what you put into your body. During the first week of this challenge, focus on nourishing your skin from the inside out.
Action Steps:

Week 3: Rituals That Glow
Creating a Skincare Ritual:
Our skin loves consistency. This week, it’s all about making skincare a sacred ritual rather than a chore.
Daily Practices:
- Set the Mood: Play calming music or light a candle while you apply your products.
- Massage Techniques: Incorporate facial massages to boost circulation and promote lymphatic drainage.
- Gratitude Reflection: As you apply your products, take a moment to appreciate your skin and what it does for you.
Zara says: “Skincare is not just about the products you use; it’s a moment of self-love and connection with yourself.”
Mini Checklist:
- [ ] Set a dedicated time for skincare
- [ ] Practice facial massage 3x a week

Bonus Tips for a Lasting Glow
While the 30-day challenge will definitely set you on the right path, here are some additional tips to keep your skin glowing:
Mind Your Sleep
Quality sleep is essential for skin rejuvenation. Aim for 7-9 hours of restful sleep each night.
Manage Stress
Incorporate relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, or even a calming herbal tea in your evenings.
Regular Exercise
Exercise increases blood flow and helps nourish skin cells. Aim for at least 30 minutes of movement a day.
Use Sunscreen
Never underestimate the power of sunscreen! Protecting your skin from UV rays is crucial at any age.
Stay Consistent
Remember, consistency is key! Stick to your newfound rituals and nourish your skin even after the challenge ends.
