At Home Self-Care Night Ideas for Taking Care of Yourself

We believe that self-care is essential for your overall health and wellness — both for your physical health and emotional health. With everything on our schedules and keeping us busy, we wanted to remind you of the importance of slowing down and spending time taking care of yourself. 

It’s essential to both our emotional and physical health by helping us to maintain our minds and bodies by unwinding from daily stress and prioritizing our individual needs.

This is why we strongly encourage our tribe to take part in regular self-care practices and frequently use the mantra:

“Self-care is giving the world the best of you instead of what’s left of you.”

We’re not the only ones who feel this way about self-care. Active Minds says that self-care, “enhances our ability to live fully, vibrantly, and effectively.” Everyday Health says that to them, “self-care is taking steps to tend to your physical and emotional health needs to the best of your ability.”

With the idea that self-care is essential in our minds, we’re inviting you to make time to take care of yourself as soon as possible with these self-care ideas.

What Are Some Ideas You Can Use For Your Self-Care Routine?

1. Get Plenty of Sleep

Sometimes the simplest thing you can do to care for yourself is rest. Sleep and rest are so important in taking good care of yourself. When your body is in a resting or sleeping state, it’s allowed to renew and repair itself.

Sleep allows your body to:⁠

• Regenerate and repair⁠
• Increase blood flow⁠
• Produce collagen⁠

⁠

These all allow your body and skin to recover and repair daily stresses and damages for a beautiful look. Turns out there’s a reason the term beauty sleep exists! 

Give your skin, mind, and body some much-needed rest by heading to bed a little earlier or sleeping a little later as an act of self-care.

2. Take A Bath

The simple act of taking a warm bath does wonders for our minds and bodies. Adding in a splash of bubble bath, Epsom salts, or body oil, like our Lemongrass Body Oil, can add a relaxing and inviting aroma and quality to the water.

After your soak, generously apply body butter, like our Lemongrass Body Butter, to lock in moisture.

3. Tidy Your Space

A cleared space helps to clear your mind. This type of self-care lets you set priorities that are important to you. Letting you continue being the glow-getter that you are.

What is a Glow-Getter? A driven, busy person who strives to achieve their goals in life while also obtaining a beautiful GLOW both inside and out.

4. Have A Spa Night 

If you have an entire evening or day to yourself, take part in an at-home self-care experience of a spa day. We’ve put together the perfect spa day itinerary here. Go take a look to get inspiration and spa-day ideas.

5. Practice Skincare

Skincare sets a precedent of kindness towards yourself. By caring for yourself with a skincare routine, this attitude will extend to other areas of your life.⁠

6. Deeply Unclog Your Pores

Deeply unclogging your pores is such a feel-good thing, and it’s a simple and fast way to take care of yourself. (The process takes less than a half-hour to do!) 

Treat yourself to a facial at home by relaxing with a deeply clarifying face mask. You’ll feel more relaxed with the added bonus of glowing, soft skin!

How can you unclog your pores? 

You can do this by gently cleansing your face and then applying a face mask. Our go-to recommendations for this are our Tea Tree Facial Cleanser, and our Tea Tree Face Mask since tea tree oil is a great way to clarify the skin.

Does anyone else feel like they’re winning the self-care game when they apply a face mask? ‘Cause, we sure do.

7. Give Yourself A Mani-Pedi 

Taking the time to treat yourself to a mani-pedi is a great way to have an at-home self-care moment. Pull out your manicure set, your favorite nail polishes, cuticle oils, and moisturizers, and pamper your hands and feet. 

Begin with cleaning and then exfoliating your hands and feet. After this, massage your feet with the moisturizer, and soften your cuticles with nourishing oil.

Oils like Mango Papaya Body Oil or Premium Gold Oil are perfect for softening cuticles, softening your hands, and softening and repairing dry cracked heels. (Take a look here for some of our favourite body oils to complement your mani-pedi time). This makes them perfect for adding to a mani-pedi routine.

8. Exfoliate & Moisturize Head-To-Toe

Show yourself some extra love by exfoliating your entire body. This is a relaxing practice that helps calm the mind and has the added bonus of feeling like a massage. (Sounds like perfection, we know!)

We recommend exfoliating with a gentle cloth, natural fiber brush, or body scrub. Follow this with your favourite body oil (like one of these). Once the body oil has been absorbed, massage a body butter into your skin for longer-lasting hydration and intense skin nourishment.

9. Indulge In Aromatherapy

Unwind with your favourite scent (our go-to for relaxing self-care practices is our Lavender Body Butter).

10. Deeply Condition Your Hair

Massage your scalp, tame your locks, and enjoy deeply conditioned hair by applying hair butter or hair oil. Work it in from the roots to the ends of your hair while helping yourself enjoy some downtime.

11. Journal 

Take a peek at our recent blog post for a gratitude journaling practice that welcomes positive feelings of gratefulness. Practicing gratitude is a great way to care for your emotional health. The practice can easily fit into a night routine or even a morning routine (depending on whether or not you’re a morning bird or a night owl!).

12. Treat Yourself

Last but not least, treat yourself to something that will make you feel good and supplement future self-care practices. Invest in your self-care practice with our relaxing body care products. (Go ahead, make the skin-vestment, you and your skin deserve it.) And remember, taking time for self-care is essential.
