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.
