AM Cleansing Ritual
Overnight, your skin produces sebum, sheds dead skin cells, and releases metabolic waste. A gentle morning cleanse:
• Removes excess oil and sweat
• Refreshes the skin barrier
• Preps skin for antioxidants and SPF
• Enhances product pe*******on
• Balances pH before actives
But here’s where we elevate it.
Instead of rushing through it, pause.
While you cleanse, practice gratitude.
Gratitude lowers stress hormones like cortisol — and we know cortisol directly impacts inflammation, collagen breakdown, and breakouts.
Take 30 seconds and think of: • One thing you’re thankful for
• One intention for the day
• One way you’ll nourish your body
Skin health is not just topical. It’s neurological
It’s hormonal. It’s emotional.
Your AM ritual can either be rushed…
Or it can regulate your nervous system and support your skin from the inside out.
Clean skin.
Calm mind.
Protected barrier.
This is how you start your day.
Prayer, cleansing, gratitude...
