3 Simple Beauty Rituals That Feel Like Therapy
The Ritual Behind the Routine
You ever notice how something as simple as brushing your hair, washing your face, or doing your skincare can completely shift your mood?
For me, beauty has always been more than a career — it’s a spiritual practice.
It’s my therapy, my reset, and my favorite way to reconnect with myself when life gets chaotic.
I’m sharing three beauty rituals that help me stay grounded and glowing — inside and out.
Ritual 1: The Whitening Strip Hack (for Instant Confidence)
If you know me, you know I’m a little obsessed with oral care. 😬
After Invisalign, I became religious about my smile routine — and here’s my favorite hack:
I cut my Crest White Strips in half so I get double the use for the same pack.
They’re more affordable than in-office treatments, and they really work.
💡 Pro tip:
Pop them on, slip in your retainer tray, and let them do their magic while you’re getting ready.
Because when your smile shines, your energy does too.
Ritual 2: The Simplified Skincare Reset
I’m currently on Accutane, so my skincare routine is simple by necessity — but honestly, it’s been freeing.
Just a gentle cleanser and a nourishing moisturizer.
That’s it.
One of my favorite dermatologist tips?
“Washing your face with just your hands is like brushing your teeth with your fingers.”
So instead, I wrap a small washcloth around my fingers and do soft, circular motions — it’s a mini facial every night.
💡 Why it feels like therapy:
This simple ritual reminds me that taking care of my skin doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to be consistent.
Ritual 3: The Sacred Sunday Wash Day
As much as I love wigs and protective styles, Sunday is sacred for me — it’s wash day.
I deep clean, condition, and braid my hair while I sit under the dryer with my favorite candle burning.
It’s not just maintenance — it’s meditation.
I’ve been using Beyoncé’s Cécred Restoring Hair & Edge Drops, and it’s been giving life. My scalp feels nourished, my hair is growing, and my peace is restored.
💡 Why it feels like therapy:
This ritual helps me slow down and care for what’s under the wigs — the real me.
Final Thoughts: Beauty as a Form of Healing
Each of these rituals is simple, but powerful.
They’ve taught me that beauty doesn’t have to be performative — it can be personal.
The way you care for yourself is the way you remind yourself that you matter.
So next time you wash your face, brush your teeth, or oil your scalp, remember — that’s therapy too.
