The Feel-Good Rituals Beauty Experts Swear By

“I always feel my best when I’m eating clean and exercising regularly, but the real feel-good factor for me has always been a great blowout. It just truly makes me so happy! When I can’t see the lovely stylists at David Mallett in New York, I’ll treat my hair to his Mask No. 1 for a hydration boost, and then I’ll rub a bit of the Hair Serum through my ends for a natural, silky shine. Faking a bronzed glow with makeup always perks me up, too. No matter the season, sweeping a touch of Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlight in Peau de Soleil over my cheekbones and eyelids instantly brightens my mood.”

“I take a lot of supplements. I really like Danish brand Puori. I add its CP1 Pure Collagen Peptides powder to coffee or water, and I also take fish oils, magnesium and vitamin C with zinc. Puori also does these great packs of vitamins that contain everything you need each day. I take vitamins for hair and nails, and Basis NAD+ by Elysium Health, plus I drink Skinade, which is really good.”

“One thing I never miss is taking a shower in the morning. It’s the only way I can start my day – with a clear mind and feeling fresh enough to tackle anything. I always put a couple of drops of Aromatherapy Associates’ Revive Morning Bath & Shower Oil into my soap mix. It wakes me up and smells great. Hot showers are nice, but I also love the benefits of a refreshing cold rinse. A cold shower – even a short one – improves circulation throughout the body, which energizes me and makes me alert for a full-on day on my feet. I’ll always start with a regular warm shower and slowly lower the temperature over the course of several minutes. The goal is to go freezing – even if it’s just for a minute or two at the end. It’s not easy, but I always feel better for it.”

“I start this weekly Sunday treat with a magnesium bath early in the evening as a way of prepping for the week ahead. I love making up a face mask, using fresh honey from central California, Greek yogurt, avocado and mashed-up strawberries. It’s the ritual of making it that feels like such a joy, and the results are fabulous, too. I love to do a face massage or use a face roller over a cream or oil – always working upwards and outwards. If I’m stressed, I work more firmly over the brows and temples – it’s a really relaxing little ritual that also helps my skincare penetrate better.”

“When I want to get a good night’s sleep, I add an entire bag of Epsom salts with magnesium to my bath and then surround myself with candles (favorites include Diptyque’s Green Figuier and Roses) and my crystal bowls. I have crystals that I have collected over the years, and I find them healing – I play my crystal bowl sound bath.”
