If skincare had a spokesperson for the dewy, no-makeup glow era, it would be Hailey Bieber—glazed, radiant, and always one step ahead. From viral lip treatments to her now-iconic “glazed donut skin,” Hailey’s routine has become skincare gospel for anyone chasing that lit-from-within look. Her latest drop? A post-shower ritual that doubles down on hydration, barrier care, and serious glow—all without the luxury price tag. Whether you’re a Rhode devotee or just skincare-curious, this routine is the kind of simple-meets-effective we love around here.

First up in Hailey’s post-shower lineup? Naturium’s The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Butter—a rich, skin-loving formula that clocks in under $20. This luxe body butter melts seamlessly into the skin, delivering instant hydration and that signature Bieber glow. The scent? A soft, warm veil that’s beautiful on its own but layers effortlessly with your favorite fragrance. Whether your skin’s parched or just needs a post-shower pick-me-up, this buttery formula absorbs quickly—so you’ll glow, not grease.

Golden Hour’s Over—Let’s Talk Skin Rehab

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Post-Sun Pampering, but Make It Luxe

We love a sun-drenched day—sandy toes, salty hair, and golden hour selfies? Say no more. But let’s not forget what all that UV love does to your skin. Sun, sweat, and SPF buildup can leave your complexion feeling more ‘ugh’ than ‘ahh.’ That’s why a post-beach skincare routine isn’t just self-care—it’s damage control, darling.

Before you slip into that silky robe and pour yourself something chilled, let’s talk recovery. Think of this as your skin’s after-party: a decadent lineup of deep cleansers, soothing masks, and glow-restoring treatments that bring the spa to your bathroom. Because your glow-up deserves the VIP treatment—no sand, no stress, just skin that says “I vacation well.”

Step 1: Cleanse & Exfoliate

One of the first things you should do after an all-day beach bender is wash your face immediately. Lingering salt, sweat, and sand can irritate the skin and lead to inflammation if left unchecked. Rinse with cool water and follow with a gentle, foaming cleanser, such as the Inkey List Cream-to-Milk cleanser, to gently lift away residue without stripping your skin. Once clean, follow up with a mild exfoliator. We recommend the Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Pads, lactic acid-infused pads that help remove dead skin cells and boost cell turnover, leaving your complexion smoother and more even.

Step 2: Hydrate

Next, it’s time to restore hydration. Gently press a toner with ingredients like hyaluronic acid into your skin to replenish moisture levels. If you have the time and are in the mood to indulge, follow up with a cooling sheet mask to lock in the benefits. If you skip that step, go ahead and layer on a hydrating serum—such as the Superfood Skin Drip—to achieve a similar effect. Follow up by tapping in your favorite eye cream, then lock everything in with your go-to nourishing moisturizer. Then tap in your favorite eye cream and seal it all in with your nourishing moisturizer of choice.

Commit to this beauty reset, and tomorrow’s skin will look like it vacationed in Capri—even if you didn’t.

Say Goodbye to Blemishes With This Spring-to-Summer Routine

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

As the seasons shift, so should your skincare routine. Heavy creams and thick occlusives? Not it. With warmer weather settling in, your skin needs lighter layers, targeted treatments, and ingredients that soothe, brighten, and balance—especially if you’re dealing with breakouts, dark spots, or sensitivity.

Whether navigating the tail end of spring or already feeling the summer heat, this routine is built to calm flare-ups, fade marks, and keep your skin hydrated without overwhelming it. These are the real ones I’ve been using—some old favorites, some new staples—and yes, those microdart patches actually helped stop pimples in their tracks.

AM Routine

Start with a gentle cleanse to refresh your skin and prep for the day ahead. A pH-balancing formula, such as the Calm + Restore Gentle Nourishing Oat Face Cleanser, is great for those with dry and sensitive skin. Formulated with colloidal oatmeal, it gently cleanses without stripping, soothes irritation, and supports the skin barrier—perfect for sensitive, dry skin. Oatmeal cleansing milk also helps clear away dead skin buildup that blocks pores while leaving the skin with a natural radiance. Then use Bright & Balanced Aloe Vera Leaf Face Wash, which calms inflammation, hydrates with aloe vera, and helps keep blemishes in check without over-drying your skin. While the skin is still damp, apply either the Snail Rescue Blemish Busting Toner or Bolden Skin Brightening Toner.

Let the skin air dry, then layer on a serum. For daytime use, you can’t go wrong with the Physicians Formula Skin Booster Vitamin Shot Hydrating Hydratant and Physicians Formula Skin Booster Vitamin Shot Brightening Éclaircissant—or try pairing the Hydrating Hydratant with the Vitamins and Sea Beauty Dead Sea Minerals & Vitamin C Complex Toning Skin Serum. These serums help even skin tone, reduce hyperpigmentation, boost hydration, minimize dark spots, and protect against signs of aging—leaving your skin visibly brighter, more radiant, and giving it that Hollywood-meets-K-beauty luxury glow. Best of all, they don’t feel sticky, oily, or greasy, and they won’t clog pores or cause breakouts.

Once the serum has been absorbed, lock in hydration with a gel or water-based moisturizer like the Snail Rescue All-in-One Oil-Free Moisturizer. If you want your blemish scars to fade faster, follow with the Bright & Balanced Aloe Vera Spot Cream. Don’t let the name fool you—it’s not a heavy cream. The texture is gel-like, absorbs easily, and even if you apply too much, it won’t leave your skin feeling sticky or greasy. It settles beautifully into the skin.

Finish with a non-greasy, non-comedogenic sunscreen like the Suntouchable Invisi-Stick—preferably SPF 50 or higher—to protect your skin. And last but definitely not least, spot-treat active breakouts and blemishes (old and new) with the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion Blemish Spot Treatment.

PM Routine

When wearing makeup and SPF, it’s essential to start your nighttime routine with the Erase It All Makeup Cleansing Balm with Vitamin C to fully break down dirt, oil, and buildup. Always apply it to dry skin and massage for two minutes before rinsing with warm water. Follow up with a second cleanser—this can be the same one from your AM routine, or you can switch to the Snail Rescue Purifying Cleanser for a deeper clean.

Once your skin is clean and dry, pat in an exfoliating toner to help remove dead skin cells and boost luminosity. Use this step 2–3 times per week to avoid over-exfoliation. Next, apply a hydrating serum to help maintain skin elasticity, followed by a gentle retinol to support collagen production. If you’re new to retinol, start with a small amount and use it every other night to build tolerance.

REN’s Overnight Glow Dark Spot Sleeping Cream is another excellent product to incorporate into your PM routine—it works overnight to help fade dark spots and even out skin tone. Finally, finish with an eye cream and a nourishing night cream to lock everything in.

If you like a touch of color even at night, swipe on a lightweight water lip stain for a soft, just-bitten look—no stickiness, no transfer.

The Bottom Line

Healthy, radiant skin comes down to smart ingredients, steady habits, and a routine that works for you. This season, skip the overwhelm and stick with what your skin actually needs.

Goddess Aphrodite bath, a ritual for love and beauty

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, sensuality, and beauty. The legend of the “goddess bath“ tells that Aphrodite used to bathe in a small natural pool, from which emanated the charm that reunited her with Adonis, her eternal love. Although the gods rejected this union, it is said that if you bathe in the pool’s water, you will preserve eternal beauty.

Thanks to Witchtok, we have the complete and perfect recipe for taking a Greek goddess bath at home.

What is the goddess bath?

As you may know, Venus, also known as Aphrodite, is the goddess of love, beauty, and charm in Roman culture. The Goddess Bath is a ritual based on the legend we shared at the beginning.

Aphrodite represents sexuality and reproduction. It is said that taking a popular bath in her honor can attract romance and enhance one’s quality of life.

Connecting with our feminine energy is an effective way to release burdens that no longer serve us and to open ourselves up to new opportunities.

Friday is considered the best day of the week to perform rituals that attract luck, abundance, and positivity into your life. Remember, the most important elements of any ritual are your intentions and your belief in its power. As long as you feel comfortable and create a slightly mystical atmosphere, you will feel more sensual and beautiful than ever.

How to take an Aphrodite goddess bath?

The goddess bath is designed to enhance both the body and soul, but it’s not primarily about attracting others, even though that may be a natural outcome. Instead, this ritual focuses on self-love and aims to strengthen our inner selves. By engaging in this practice, we can reflect greater confidence and improve our self-esteem.

What you need:

  • Almond milk.
  • A cap of vanilla extract.
  • 2 tablespoons honey.
  • Cinnamon powder or a few sprigs.
  • A chamomile tea bag.
  • Your favorite perfume (a few pumps).

Pour the milk into a large container and add each ingredient while keeping your intentions in mind.

Next, take your usual bath routine, then rinse off. After that, apply the mixture to your body from the neck down, or immerse yourself in a bathtub filled with it.

As you bathe with the mixture, speak your intentions aloud and visualize how the liquid washes away everything you want to release. Do not rinse off afterward; simply pat your skin dry. You’ll feel even more fabulous than before!
