The Ultimate 24 Hour Glow Up Routine
The Day Before: Prep
- Self-Tanning: Apply self-tanner before bed to wake up with a sun-kissed glow.
- Hydrate: Drink half your body weight in ounces of water throughout the day to boost hydration.
- Castor Oil Pack: Place a castor oil pack on your belly button to promote healthy digestion.
7:00 AM: Wake Up and Hydrate
- Drink a Full Glass of Water: Start your day with a refreshing glass of water and a squeeze of lemon to kickstart your metabolism.
- Make Your Bed: A clean slate for a clean mind.
- Morning Brew: Brew your favorite tea, coffee, or matcha. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla. Be present and savor the ritual.
7:30 AM: Set Intentions
- Journaling or Reading: While sipping your morning brew, set your intentions for the day in a journal or read a few chapters of a book. Check out my TBR lists here!
- 10-Minute Meditation: Meditate or sit in silence, preferably outdoors or by a window, and let yourself fully relax into a few moments of tranquility.
8:00 AM: Move Your Body
- Physical Activity: Spend 30 minutes walking, doing yoga, or dancing to an uplifting playlist. If working out isnโt in the cards, set a timer and tidy up areas of the house – just a light reset to organize your space and energize your body.
8:30 AM: Hair Care Ritual
- Hair Mask and Scalp Massage: Apply a nourishing hair oil mask and give yourself a scalp massage with a scalp massage tool. Follow with a hair glaze or touch up roots if needed.
10:00 AM: The Everything Shower
- Luxurious Shower: Indulge in a shower with dry brushing, exfoliation (skip if you self-tanned), and a hair mask. Light a candle, play your favorite tunes, and pull a waterproof shower affirmation card for inspiration.
- Post-Shower: Moisturize from neck to toe, slip into a lush robe, and embrace the softness of your skin.
11:00 AM: Facial Care
- Facial Massage: Use a gua sha, jade tool, or ice roller for a de-puffing facial massage.
- Skincare: Go through your complete skincare routine, apply a nourishing face mask, and finish with a hydrating lip mask.
12:00 PM: At-Home Salon Treatments
- Hair Styling: Use heat protectant and style your hair, setting in rollers for a bouncy blowout if desired.
- Beauty Treatments: Tweeze brows, tint if needed, remove facial fuzz with a dermaplaner, and apply press-on lashes. Consider a teeth-whitening treatment for a radiant smile.
2:00 PM: Makeup and Nails
- Makeup: Apply makeup that makes you feel your best, whether light or glam. Use a lip stain for long-lasting color. Check out my updated everyday makeup routine and favorite drugstore products here!
- Mani-Pedi: Give yourself a gel manicure or apply press-ons for an instant polished look. Finish with a pedicure and go the extra mile with a heel balm and a pair of moisture locking socks.

3:00 PM: Dress and Express
- Get Dressed: Wear something that makes you feel fabulous, whether it’s a cozy outfit or something chic.
- Creative Time: Engage in a creative hobby or finish a project you’ve been putting off. Limit screen time to stay present in the moment.

Evening Wind Down
- Nighttime Tea: Sip on a calming chamomile tea as you wind down from your day of self-love.
- Relaxation: Play a binaural beats video with the screen off to lull you into relaxation.
- Early Bedtime: Drift off to sleep early, letting your refreshed mind and body recharge.
And there you have it – a 24-hour glow up routine dedicated to self-care that will leave you glowing from the inside out. Remember, this day is all about feeling and looking your best, so embrace it fully and donโt forget to schedule another โSelfish Sundayโ in your planner next quarter!
