If you often find yourself rushing through your skincare routine during the hectic weekdays, you're not alone.
It seems like there's never enough time to truly indulge in self-care. But when Sunday arrives, it brings a much-needed respite—a precious opportunity to recharge and prioritize both self-care and skincare.
Today, we'd love to introduce you to a blissful Sunday morning skincare ritual that will help you unwind, release stress, and reset your skin for the busy week ahead.
So, light up a captivating scented candle, take a moment to inhale deeply and get ready to follow our step-by-step guide for a blissful Self-Care Sunday Ritual that will leave you positively glowing.
Step 1 - Gentle Cleanse for a Fresh Start
Kick off your Self-Care Sunday Ritual with a gentle, yet thorough cleanse. Take your time, focus on covering every inch and area of the face. Inhale deeply.
Here's how we suggest you try it:
- Begin by wetting your face with lukewarm water.
- Take a small amount of your favorite gentle cleanser and massage it onto your damp skin in gentle, circular motions.
- Spend a few minutes massaging your face, allowing the cleanser to effectively remove impurities and refresh your skin.
- Once you've thoroughly cleansed your face, wet a clean washcloth with warm water and gently remove the cleanser by softly patting and wiping your face with the washcloth.
- Take a moment to appreciate the clean, rejuvenated feeling of your skin after this revitalizing cleanse.
Remember, it's important to choose a cleanser that suits your skin type and preferences, but feel free to customize this step to fit your own skincare routine.

Step 2 - Brightening Mask to Renew the Complexion
Incorporate a brightening mask or exfoliating treatment to revive your skin's radiance and eliminate any dullness or surface dryness.
Here's how we suggest you try it:
- Choose a brightening mask or exfoliating treatment that suits your skin's needs. Look for ingredients like vitamin C, AHAs, or enzymes for brightening effects.
- Apply an even layer of the mask or treatment to your cleansed and dry face, avoiding the delicate eye area.
- Relax and let the mask work its magic for about 10 minutes. Take this time to unwind, read a book, or simply enjoy a moment of tranquility.
- Pat your face dry with a clean towel, and take a moment to admire the refreshed and glowing appearance of your skin.
Remember to follow the instructions on the specific product you choose and adjust the timing accordingly.
Enjoy the invigorating benefits of this brightening step in your Self-Care Sunday Ritual.

Step 3 - Micro-current Treatment for a Naturally Sculpted Look
If you own a micro-current device, you’ll want to incorporate it into your Self-Care Sunday Ritual to help you achieve a naturally sculpted and lifted appearance.
You can purchase the latest ZIIP Halo Device here and use our promo code SKINDEVOTEE to get 10% off.
If you don't own or want to use a micro-current device, you can also substitute this step with any other skincare tool or simply skip it.
We like to use a conductive gel with our ZIIP Device and we select the "Instant Gratification" program. However, another favorite trick is to stack the "Plumping and Jowls Program" on top for added oomph and extra lift.
Feel free to choose your favorite program or customize a series based on your needs. You can also freestyle if you’re comfortable using your device.
Here's how to incorporate micro-current into your routine:
- Apply a generous amount of conductive gel to allow your skin to receive the benefits of micro-current.
- Follow the instructions provided with your ZIIP GX device to set it up and choose the desired programs. Begin with the Instant Gratification program, which aims to provide an immediate lift and firmness to the skin.
- Gently glide the device over your face, following the recommended patterns and directions provided by the device's instructions. Pay extra attention to areas that may need additional lifting or toning.
- Once you have completed the Instant Gratification program, proceed to the Plumping and Jowls program. This program focuses on enhancing collagen production and addressing the appearance of sagging jowls.
- Again, follow the instructions on the device for this program, ensuring you cover all the desired areas of your face.
- Once you have completed both programs, gently cleanse your face to remove any remaining gel or residue from the treatment.
Using a micro-current device like the ZIIP can be an excellent addition to your Self-Care Sunday Ritual, offering visible results and a more sculpted appearance to your skin.
Remember to always follow the instructions provided by the device manufacturer for optimal usage.
Step 4 - Indulge in a Hydrating Mask + Facial Massage for Extra Plumpness
To complete your Self-Care Sunday Ritual, treat yourself to a luxurious hydrating or lifting mask that can also serve as a massage medium.
This type of mask does not need to be removed and can simply be used in place of your moisturizer.

This last step will not only provide deep hydration but also help achieve a plump and rejuvenated complexion.
Here's how we suggest you try it:
- Take a nickel-sized dollop of your chosen hydrating or lifting mask and apply it evenly over your face, avoiding the eye area.
- Once the mask is applied, it's time for a soothing facial massage. Start at your neck and use upward, outward motions, working towards your hairline. Be intentional with your strokes, gently lifting your face and working against the pull of gravity.
- Massage each area of your face, including your cheeks, jawline, forehead, and temples. This uplifting massage technique helps promote circulation and gives your skin a radiant glow.
- Pay attention to your cheeks – if you notice a rosy flush, it means you're doing it right!
- After the facial massage, leave the mask on and go about your day. Allow the nourishing ingredients to work their magic while you enjoy the benefits of the mask.
By incorporating a hydrating mask and a facial massage into your Self-Care Sunday Ritual, you'll give your skin an extra boost of plumpness and vitality.
It’s time to enjoy the rest of your day feeling rejuvenated and refreshed!
You deserve to glow!
