How To Glow Up In 2024: Self-Care For Women

Glowing up in 2024 involves a holistic approach to self-care. Here are some tips tailored for women.

 

1.      Drink More Water:

     Besides glowing healthy skin, drinking water also helps you fight tons of skin problems like acne, exczema and psoriasis. It does so by helping your system flush out toxins out of your body. But it is important to know that, if you have any of these issues, the water must supplement a treatment plan prescribed by a professional. Remember hydration also helps with digestion and overall bodily functions.

2.      Stay Consistent With Your Skincare:

     There is a world of endless skincare routines flowing around on social media, which makes it tempting to wanting to try a new product every week. Invest in a skincare routine and products just for your skin type. This may include, but not limited to a cleanser, toner, moisturizer and using SPF daily. Yes, we need SPF to protect our rich melanin. The goal is to stay consistent for at least twenty-one days. Simplicity is best friends with steadiness.

3.      Move Your Body:

      Commit yourself to move your body for 20 minutes a day, every day. Go for a walk while listening to your favourite podcast, or even going to the gym. You just need to give yourself 20 minutes a day of joyful movement—something you really enjoy doing. For consistency and results you can actually see; pick a workout program. Thanks to YouTube, you can be coached by a professional trainer, at zero cost from the comfort of your home.

4.      Meditation:

Studies have shown, repeatedly, the fantastic benefits of daily meditation practice. From reducing stress to controlling anxiety while promoting emotional health, it can also do wonders for your skin! According to recent studies, meditation can inhibit the response of inflammatory genes. This means that you will have less inflamed skin—bye acne—and fewer wrinkles as you age.

5.      Read At Least 10 Minutes Every Day:

Start with at least 10 minutes a day. One pro-tip to stick with is to associate it with another habit that you already have. For example, reading while you sip your favourite hot beverage in the morning or after you shower for bed at night.

You can even create a whole new small routine, just for reading, like sipping tea every day at 5 pm, as you go over you planner.

 

6.      Journal Every Day:

      Journaling is a significant commitment. But slowly this practice can become one of the most effective tools for personal development. Journaling has proven itself over and over. Researchers have found that is one the best ways to cope with overwhelming emotions while expressing yourself. Not only journal about your emotions, but take time to set your goals, set intentions for personal and professional development.

7.      Healthy Diet:

  Fuel your body with nourishing foods rich in vitamins and minerals. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains for wellbeing and glowing skin.

8.      Quality Sleep:

Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep nightly to allow your body and mind to recharge. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, such as writing in your journal or listening to meditations. Of course, limit your screen time before bed to improve your sleep.

9.      Personal Style:

Experiment with your personal style and find clothing that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Express yourself through fashion choices that reflect your personality. As well as your personal style, take care of your hair by using nourishing products and minimize heat styling. Get regular trims to prevent split ends and to maintain healthy locks.

10.  Positive Relationships:

Surround yourself with positive and supportive relationships that uplift and inspire you. Cultivate meaningful connections with friends, family and community.
