This is your invitation to stop doom-scrolling skincare routines and actually become the girl with glass skin. No gatekeeping, no 20-step K-beauty breakdowns — just one week of hot-girl effort that gets you radiant, clear, “I don’t even need makeup” skin. Consider this your 7-day glow-up schedule. Hydrating, de-puffing, and reprogramming your face into its most that girl state.
Day 1: Strip It Back (Not Your Skin Barrier, Babe)
Today’s about detoxing your skin routine — and your cabinet. Toss the crusty products, retire the harsh scrubs, and stop cocktailing 12 serums that fight each other. Use a gentle cleanser, a calming moisturizer, and SPF. That’s it. Go cold turkey on actives for a sec. Let your skin breathe.
Bonus tip: No makeup today. Even if you “need it.” Especially if you think you “need it.”
Day 2: Oil Me Up, Buttercup
Facial oils are the underrated icons of skin healing. Press in a nourishing oil (rosehip, jojoba, or squalane) at night and give yourself a slow lymphatic massage. 5 minutes. Jawline, cheekbones, neck. You’ll wake up less bloated, more baddie.
What to avoid: Stress-scrolling at midnight. Your cortisol is showing.
Day 3: Gut-Skin Connection Is Real
Today we glow from the inside. Add a probiotic (pill, kombucha, or coconut yogurt moment), drink water like it's your job, and skip sugar + dairy just for the next 5 days. Your digestion is directly tied to breakouts, redness, and dullness. Make it chic to sip greens and eat foods your skin loves.
Glow food of the day: Pineapple, papaya, or kiwi — enzymes that exfoliate… from within.
Day 4: Clay It Cool
Today is detox mask day. Choose a gentle clay mask to pull out congestion and tighten pores — not your soul. Avoid those “makes your skin feel like cement” masks. Follow with a hydrating sheet mask or chilled aloe gel to bring balance back. You’re not punishing your face. You’re pampering it.
Mood boost: Do this with a candle lit and jazz playing. Romanticize your skincare like it’s a Parisian movie.
Day 5: Let There Be (Red) Light
If you’ve got an LED mask or red light wand — today’s the day to use it. If not, spend 15 minutes in the sun, SPF’ed up, doing breathwork. Red light reduces inflammation, boosts collagen, and basically makes you glow like a freshly iced donut. No red light? Take a cold shower. It’s giving, “I heal myself.”
Day 6: Skin Cycling, But Make It Sexy
Tonight we reintroduce a gentle exfoliant or retinol if your skin’s feeling calm and cute. Think one serum, not six. Follow with a thick, barrier-repair moisturizer and a silk pillowcase. You’re not a rough sleeper anymore. You’re a skincare heiress.
Extra: Sleep with your hair pulled back in a silk scrunchie — oils and breakouts, blocked.
Day 7: The Clean Girl Finale
You made it. Your skin? Calm, clear, bouncy. Your vibe? Celestial. Today is all about maintenance. Stick to hydrating and protecting, and lock in what worked. You don’t need to do more, just keep doing you. Light makeup (if any), glowy SPF, glossy lips, and confidence. That’s the whole look.
Final ritual: Face mist. Deep breath. One affirmation: "I glow from the inside out, and it shows."
