Sundays are made for slowing down, resetting and pouring a little extra love into yourself. Whether it’s a quiet morning with a favorite latte or an evening unwind with a much-needed skincare ritual, small moments of self-care can make a BIG difference to set your week up for success! If life has felt a little too chaotic lately [ahem… yes calling myself out right here right now], consider this your sign to create space for the ultimate in rest and recharge.
I’ve gone through some of my most favorite Sunday self-care rituals and sharing them with y’all… simple yet super impactful to help you feel refreshed, refocused to tackle the week ahead:
one | Chin Mask and Eye Gels
If you’ve followed me on socials for any length of time, you know I’m a loyalist to my V-Line Lifting Chin Mask and SkinPharm Eye Sculpt Patches. These little miracle workers are a staple in my beauty routine—I always have them on hand [and yes they come with me on travel, too]!! While I usually throw them on before a photoshoot to get that extra lift and glow, I also love starting my week with a fresh face by incorporating them into my Sunday reset. A little lift, a little depuffing, and a whole lot of self-care—because feeling your best is always worth the investment… and it’s even better that you can do both of these at the same time!
two | Time for Teeth Whitening
I’ve always been extremely particular about my teeth… guess that goes all the way back to my younger years and having tooth extractions, fillings and root canals = let’s just say I go above and beyond when it comes to caring for my smile. I’ve always had fairly white teeth, but with the amount of coffee I drink on the daily, I like to add in this whitening powder I found last year. Purely White Deluxe doesn’t make my teeth hurt like most of the whitening strips out there and I love the fresh, clean feeling after using the lemon-tasting powder. Just apply to your toothbrush, apply all over your teeth brushing for 30 seconds and then you’re good to go, pearly whites and all!
three | The Perfect Faux Glow with Loving Tan
I shared my full-on faux glow routine late last summer here on the blog if you want the official play-by-play, but this time I’m simply focusing on the GOAT = my Loving Tan Express 2-Hour Mousse! It’s simply the easiest to apply, the best smelling + of course the color is perfection when you rinse it off. No orange undertones and a lightweight mousse that works like magic to get me feeling + looking my best! And as always, you can score a free Applicator Mitt when you shop with my code NATASHAS on the Loving Tan website, too.
four | Face First: Microneedling and Dermaplaning
Now I will preface this by saying I get in-clinic treatments done that give my skin a dewy glow ever 8-12 weeks, but in between those visits I like to take matters into my own hands… I’ve been using the BeautyBio GloPRO Microneedling Tool for years and I’ll be the first to sing its praises by how good this at-home beauty gadget truly is. It helps boost collagen, gives an all over glow to my face, neck and chest areas and it opens up my pores for all my nightly serums and moisturizers to work their magic as well!
I also use this Schick Hydro Silk Dermaplaning Wand I learned about from TikTok… yep, even I was influenced!!! Basically, yes… I shave my face and I it’s been a GAMECHANGER. Not only does my makeup stay on better but my face is baby bottom smooth! I’ve tried a few other dermaplaning tools before but this one has a more substantial weight which makes it easier to glide across your skin and comes with refill blades to switch out when it gets dull. I love that it sweeps away dead skin and that pesky peach fuzz for a flawless finish!
five | At-Home Laser Hair Removal
Moving right along, let’s talk about one of my most favorite beauty investments I’ve ever made = my Braun IPL Silk·Expert is hands down worth its weight in gold and no, I don’t regret buying it at all! I started using this early last fall and it’s become one of my Sunday staples… smoother skin with WAY less maintenance than ever before. No, it doesn’t hurt at all and surprisingly it doesn’t take that long to work it over your legs, underarms and bikini area! I will say you have to be consistent with the routine when you start but now I can go weeks without having to shave certain areas which means less time in the shower and more time making the most of my day!
Alright alright… maybe I have six routines I can’t mess with and because I simply cannot leave this ritual out of my top 5, you get an extra = because this one is mandatory and once you do it you won’t forget!
six | Makeup Brush Cleaning
Another weekly ritual that brings me SO MUCH JOY is cleaning my makeup brushes… it may not be the most glamorous self-care activity, but the fruits of your labor will pay off instantly when you see all that excesss makeup wash away down the drain! I started using the Cinema Secrets Solution years ago, but then unearthed a dupe for far less $$$ that is identical =also known as Sapir Naturals Cleaner. It makes cleaning your brushes a breeze and keep in mind you don’t have to use a significant amount of cleaner… a little goes a long way!! A quick Sunday deep clean means I’m starting the week with fresh, bacteria-free brushes = keeping breakouts at bay and allowing my makeup to go on even better!
