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 isnβt 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), shaving, hair washing, and a hair conditioning mask. Light a candle, play your favorite tunes, and pull a waterproof shower affirmation card for inspiration.
- Post-Shower: Moisturize from neck to toe using your favorite body butter or try out a wet skin moisturizer, 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.
