The 9 Feel-Good Rituals Beauty Experts Swear By

“Something that always makes me feel good is sleep. I try to get at least seven hours every night. When I have a good night’s sleep, I feel so much better. I recently got an Ōura Ring, which tracks my sleep, plus my steps during the day, and seeing the analytics has really helped motivate me to get to bed a little earlier; I truly believe health is wealth.”

“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.”

“I start this weekly treat with a magnesium bath taken 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 treat, 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. I also use my Angela Caglia Vibrating Rose Quartz Face Sculpting Roller, as it helps the skincare penetrate better.”

“Taking a bath always makes me feel great. Bath time is sacred to me and is often the only chance I have on a busy day to properly unwind. Lately, I’ve been doing a ‘love bath’ ritual, which is a whole process. I start by smudging the room with sage while the tub fills up, then I add some relaxing bath salts. I love to have a candle burning while I take a bath – it helps me enter into a deeply relaxed state. I’ll then add one or two peonies to the water, which symbolize love, and red rose petals. I’m also a big fan of crystals and have gotten into crystal healing, so I like to add rose quartz, malachite, pink opal and chrysocolla, both in the water and around the tub, so that I’m fully immersed in calming and loving energy while I’m bathing. Finally, I enter the water and close my eyes, taking a moment to express gratitude for this time.”

“I’ve always loved a long, hot bath, but a few years ago I made it part of a proactive approach to better sleep, and it has really worked. Now, just prepping my bath helps me mentally unwind, as it has become a very simple but also quite powerful ritual. Rather like how you train a baby to get to sleep, I started to have the same routine every single night: I run a hot bath (which, if followed by being in a cool bedroom, is known to help the body prepare for sleep), I add magnesium flakes and a bath and shower oil and I listen to my Audible app – there’s nothing more soothing than being read to. Doing this same routine has transformed my sleep pattern, and now, within 10 minutes of getting out of the bath, I’m asleep – I can even track it on my Fitbit!”
