My Fall Self-Care Routine: Finding Calm & Balance

Self-care is a top priority for me, and taking time to relax, restore, and feel my best is essential—especially as the colder months approach. Here’s a peek into my current routine, from cozy essentials to skincare favorites that keep my skin and mind feeling refreshed.

Cozy Amazon PJ Sets for Ultimate Comfort

Nothing says "me-time" like slipping into a comfortable pair of pajamas! I found these cozy sets on Amazon, which are not only soft but also stylish enough to make even lounging around feel luxurious. You can find them here to add a pair to your self-care routine.

My Less-is-More Skincare Approach

When it comes to skincare, I believe less is more. With the weather turning colder, I’m all about being gentle on my skin. Instead of daily exfoliation, I switch to exfoliating every 2-3 days, which helps avoid any dryness or irritation.

AM Skincare

My morning routine focuses on cleansing, protection, and hydration:

- ZO Exfoliating Cleanser and Skinbetter Science Oxygen Infusion Wash to cleanse and refresh.

- Alto Defense Serum by Skinbetter Science for powerful antioxidant protection.

- Elemis ProCollagen Marine Cream SPF 30 to keep my skin hydrated and shielded from the sun’s rays.

PM Skincare

At night, I focus on recovery and nourishment:

- AlphaRet Overnight Cream by Skinbetter Science for gentle overnight renewal.

- Estée Lauder Advanced Repair Overnight Treatment to help my skin bounce back and stay smooth.

Extra Indulgence: Masks and Treatments

I love adding a bit more time for deep treatments to my routine, especially on weekends.

- Chris Appleton’s “Money” Hair Mask: keeps my hair soft, shiny, and healthy despite dry winter air.

- For face masks and under-eye patches, I’ve been using these sheet masks and these eye patches which are perfect for an instant hydration boost.

Quick Morning Meditations

Starting the day with calm and focus is a game-changer for me, so I carve out five minutes every morning for a guided meditation. I rotate between a few favorites on YouTube:

- 5-Minute Morning Meditation to Start Your Day

- 5-Minute Guided Meditation for Relaxation and Positivity

- Morning Meditation for Positive Energy and Inner Peace

Just a few minutes of mindfulness sets a peaceful tone for the day.

Wrapping Up

Creating a consistent self-care routine has made a huge difference for me, especially as life gets busier. I hope this peek into my routine inspires you to find what feels best for you, whether it’s a new product, cozy pajamas, or a few minutes of meditation each morning. Remember, self-care is all about treating yourself with the same kindness and care you give to others!
