HAIR

Start with your hair and work downward. Who wants to wash their hair after cleaning their face and body anyway?

Massage Scalp and Brush Hair
A relaxing scalp massage isn’t just luxurious—it’s great for your hair’s health. Use a scalp brush to increase circulation and promote hair growth.

Hair Mask
Healthy, shiny hair is a major glow-up booster. Apply a deep conditioning hair mask to hydrate and revive your locks. Leave them soft, sleek, and lux. Another great hair treatment is a glow treatment. The shine and glow your hair has after putting that sh*t on your hair is insane!

Blow-Dry Hair
A salon-style blowout at home? Yes, please! Blow-dry brushes make it easy to achieve smooth, voluminous hair in about 20 minutes. No knots, no breeze!

Heatless Curls Tools
We are OBSESSED with heatless curls/waves tools here at Glow Up Girls? Heatless curl tools are perfect for preserving your style while keeping hair damage-free, so your curls and waves get to last much longer. You can even DIY it with socks…LOVE LOVE!

Silk Pillowcase
Switch to a silk pillowcase to protect your hair and skin while you sleep. Less friction means fewer tangles, breakage, and even fewer wrinkles over time. So it’s not only great for your hair but for your skin too.

FACE

Double Cleanse
Remove all traces of makeup and impurities with a double cleanse. This leaves your skin fresh and ready to absorb skincare products. Here’s are our top picks for acne prone skin, dry skin, and combination skin.

Skin Care Devices
Invest in skincare tools like LED face masks (fav) or microcurrent devices to lift and tone your face. Gua sha tools are a great, low-cost alternative for a sculpted look.

Steam Your Face
Facial steaming opens pores, removes dirt, and enhances skincare absorption. It’s an at-home spa treatment you shouldn’t skip.

Face Mask
Overnight face masks work wonders. Choose one designed to hydrate and brighten your skin while you sleep. Over favorite pick is the Biodance Bio masks because it will literally give your skin an instant glow and glass skin look.

Whiten Teeth
A brighter smile makes a world of difference. Try one-hour express whitening strips for instant results.

Clear Breakouts
Use hydrocolloid patches or spot treatments to reduce blemishes overnight without irritating your skin.

Drink Water
Hydration is key to glowing skin. Aim for eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily to keep your skin plump and refreshed.

Smooth Lips
Exfoliate your lips with a gentle scrub, then apply a thick balm for soft, kissable lips by morning. Don’t forget to lip tint in the morning for that all day natural lip color look.

De-Puff Eyes
Use hydra-gel eye patches and a hydrating eye cream to reduce puffiness and dark circles for a well-rested look. Pick one according to your needs but they are a best seller for a reason.

BODY

Exfoliate
Scrub away dead skin cells with an exfoliating mitt or body scrub. This reveals smooth skin and enhances your moisturizer’s effectiveness. Salt scrubs are our favorite and they are a much healthier option. Self care secret that’s underrated and barely spoken about…EXFOLIATING GLOVES! I use them every single day and my body is ALWAYS soft. Use the body exfoliator weekly, but the gloves daily with your regular soap. I can go without an exfoliating scrub but not the gloves.

Remove Body Hair
Shave, wax, or epilate for silky-smooth skin. For best results, exfoliate first to avoid ingrown hairs. Another option that I ALWAYS go for are hair remover cream, if you’re not a fan of shaving. I personally think everyone should try this method. But be sure to read the instructions for use and use one that’s for sensitive skin.

Lymphatic Drainage
Dry brushing or lymphatic massage can reduce bloating and improve circulation, giving your skin a natural glow.

Manicure
Shape, file, and buff your nails, and apply polish if you’re feeling fancy. But you can always go all out and get a home manicure kit. It’s not for everyone but a great option.

Pedicure
For soft feet, use a callus remover, then slather on a thick ointment or castor oil. If you can, wear socks overnight for extra smooth and beautiful looking feet.

Moisturize
Moisturize your body with a hydrating cream and seal the moisture with a body oil right after your shower. Shea butter-based products work wonders for dry skin.

Eat a Healthy Diet
Fuel your glow with nutrient-rich foods. Eating fruits and veggies boosts your energy and enhances your skin’s natural radiance. Now we all know that sometimes that’s easier said than done so that’s why we are a huge fan of Bloom here at Glow Up Girls. It tastes good and it will give you all the nutrients you need on a daily.
