Because glowing starts with slowing.
Sundays aren’t just for preparing — they’re for releasing.
Let go of the rush. Step out of productivity. This is your permission to reset slowly, intentionally, and beautifully.
The truth is: your glow-up begins when you slow down enough to actually listen to your body. These Sunday rituals are designed to help you soften stress, nourish your nervous system, and prep your skin, hormones, and mindset for the week ahead — with elegance.
This isn’t a Sunday scaries post. It’s your Sunday serenity ritual — Aléora-style.
The Sunday Slow Down Ritual
1. Light a Candle & Close the Day
Choose a calming scent — lavender, rose, vanilla, or cedarwood.
Let this small act signal a shift in pace and energy.
2. Take a Full Body Reset Shower
Your everything shower guide:
→ Dry brush
→ Exfoliate
→ Shave (if you want to)
→ Rinse with cool water
→ Apply oil while skin is damp
→ Finish with your favourite body mist or scent
3. Barrier-Repair Skincare Routine
→ Gentle cleanser
→ Hydrating toner or essence
→ Niacinamide or soothing serum
→ Rich moisturiser
→ Optional: facial oil + gua sha
→ Lip mask + under-eye balm
4. Evening Journal Prompts
→ What do I need to release from this week?
→ What energy do I want to bring into the new week?
→ What does my body need right now?
5. Evening Hydration & Magnesium
→ Warm lemon water or a calming tea
→ Add a pinch of sea salt or a magnesium powder blend
→ Sip slowly before bed
You don’t need to be productive on Sunday. You just need to feel rested, nourished, and reconnected.
That’s where the glow begins.
