Mondays can be tough on a lot of people. Nevertheless, whether you are excited about your job or not, how you handle the beginning of a new week determines how productive it will be.
Instead of dreading how tough the week would be, I prefer to focus on rejuvenating my mind and body; believe it or not, that takes consistent effort.
To change the way you see Mondays, you need to be intentional about setting a consistent body care ritual that improves your quality of life.
This isn't another random post about piling on a ton of products that "smell good," so you "feel good." Having a body care ritual that sets you up for a productive week can boost your confidence and make you highly productive.
A morning body care routine can be a motivating factor if it consists of activities you really look forward to doing. They help relieve mindset stress, make your day more interesting and increase productivity.
Here is how you can create a body care routine to set yourself up for a productive week:
1. Cleanse
You may not have noticed all the harsh ingredients in your body wash but many things, like perfumes, dyes, and harsh soaps, can dry out your skin. People with even more sensitive skin might have skin irritations or allergic reactions.
Choose products like a nourishing body wash that doesn't strip your skin of its natural oils. I recommend our creamy body wash, packed with folic acid and potassium, which helps slow down signs of aging and keeps skin smooth.
2. Exfoliate
As unglamorous as it sounds, your skin naturally sheds dead skin cells. Whatever dead skin you do not remove by cleansing will be handled by exfoliating.
While cleansing twice might not sound like so much fun, the glowing skin you get afterward? Totally worth it. You feel good. You look good—boosted confidence!
For exfoliation, try our foaming body scrub 2-3 times a week. This handmade exfoliating body scrub is made with sugar and fine powders that fix rough skin while the creamy Aloe Butter base and hydrating oils soften the skin. It gives you that spa-like experience.
3. Moisturize
After all the cleansing you've done so far, moisturizing renews the skin and provides hydration and extra nourishment to your skin.
You want to look for products with proven moisturizing ingredients. I recommend our triple butter body whip, which melts gently onto your skin, leaving it supple and smooth with a soft glow.
By giving your body the right amount of moisture before the week starts, you'll feel healthier and be able to focus on the things you want to do instead of what you have to do before and after work.
4. Treat
At the end of every week, our body deserves all the TLC it can get. You'll enjoy the benefits if you can get into a ritual of providing your skin with the nutrients it needs.
One way to introduce powerful ingredients into the skin is by using serums. A serum brightens, firms, protects, boosts collagen formation, soothes, and softens the skin. All this fantastic goodness in one little bottle!
Our moisturizing body serum is weightless, ultra-hydrating, and perfect for all skin types. It is also a luxurious blend of squalane oil, exfoliating and anti-inflammatory rosehip oil, and restoring baobab oil.
Once you get a consistent body care routine, you'll feel more confident and productive during the week, knowing that your body looks and feels great.
Key Takeaway
It's not easy to get up every day and do your body care routine. It takes a lot of self-control, and chances are you'll slip up more than once. This is good, though. The harder you try, the easier things get.
Self-discipline is what makes that easy. This discipline will not only help you get out of bed every morning ready to work, but it will also show in the quality of your work and your productivity level each week.
