Reset & Radiate: The Ultimate At-Home Facial + Spa Day

Sometimes, healing looks like boundaries.

Sometimes, healing looks like therapy.

And sometimes-healing looks like a towel-wrapped head, a jade roller, and the sound of soft spa music while you pour love back into the body that’s carried you through everything.


This is your full-body reset. A glow-up for your skin, your scalp, your soul.

You don’t need a spa membership or hundreds of dollars.

You just need a little time, a little warmth, a little cold, and a lot of intention.


Set the mood:

Plug in your earbuds and try this immersive ASMR experience:


Not into ASMR?

You can play my personal Spotify spa playlist here:

Or just say “Play spa music” on your Google Home or Alexa.


Now take a deep breath. Let’s begin.

STEP-BY-STEP FACIAL RESET


  • Start with a steamy hot shower-this is where the reset truly begins:


  • Use purple shampoo for tone correction


  • Follow with regular shampoo, then conditioner, and finally a deep conditioner let it sit while you finish the rest


  • Wash your body thoroughly


  • Exfoliate with a Tree Hut body scrub-especially arms, legs, elbows, and any rough spots


  • Shave whatever areas make you feel your best


  • Use a nail brush to scrub under your fingernails


  • Wash your face using a scrub and cleanser combo to prep your skin


  • Brush your teeth, floss, mouthwash, water floss, and tongue scrape-clean mouth, clear mind


  • Rinse out your deep conditioner


  • Pat dry and wrap up in a warm towel (bonus if it’s from a towel warmer)


  • Moisturize your entire body with your favorite lotion-Hempz is my go-to



Now you’re ready to glow:


  • Apply a hydrating sheet mask and relax


  • Fill your facial steamer and let it warm up


  • Steam your face-inhale peace, exhale stress


  • Heat a hot towel and drape it over your skin


  • Apply toner to balance your skin


  • Use a face mask and gently roll over it with a jade roller


  • Apply a jade mask overtop for cooling calm


  • Use ice globes to soothe puffiness and inflammation


  • Apply your favorite serum, then use your dermablade for peach fuzz removal


  • Tweeze your eyebrows-light shape-up only


  • Add a lip mask and eye masks


  • Rest watermelon ice gels from the freezer under your eyes


  • Finish with an ice roller across your face


  • Lock in hydration with face and lip moisturizer

HAIR HEALING RITUAL


  • Brush your hair gently from ends up


  • Use a scalp extractor tool to loosen buildup


  • Massage in rosemary & mint oil and argan oil at the scalp


  • Work coconut oil into your ends


  • Wrap in a shower cap to soak in


  • Shampoo over the bath thoroughly


  • Purple shampoo again if needed


  • Apply conditioner, then a deep hair mask


  • Comb through with a wet brush, rinse


  • Add leave-in conditioner


  • Use any styling products


  • Stimulate with scalp brushes


  • Brush with a bamboo brush, blow dry, then straighten


  • End with a final scalp massage


---


THE FINISHING TOUCH


  • Give yourself a foot massage with lotion or oil


  • Sit back and breathe


  • Thank your body for holding on, for showing up


Speak this over yourself:



"I am safe"
"I am healing"
"I am worthy of rest and love"

You can also use a massage gun to release any last tension in your back, shoulders, or legs-let your body fully exhale


---


You don’t have to earn this kind of care.

You don’t need to prove your worth before you slow down.

This isn’t vanity. This is holy rest.

This is honoring the temple God gave you-with gentleness, grace, and intention.
