Double cleansing the negativity out my life.

You know that feeling when your skin is clean, fresh, and glowing, and you suddenly feel like you can take on the world? That’s how I’ve been approaching everything lately. Not just my skincare, but my energy. My boundaries. My peace. Because honestly? Life’s too valuable to let negativity clog your glow.

So yes, I’ve been double cleansing my face and my life.

And in the spirit of rinse-and-release, here’s how I’ve simplified both, with a skincare routine that’s as affordable as it is effective (everything’s under $50!), and a mindset shift that’s made all the difference.

It started with skincare, but it spiraled, in the best way. I realized the same effort I put into rinsing away impurities at the end of the day needed to apply to people, patterns, and thoughts that no longer served me.

If it’s dulling your glow? It’s got to go.

Negative energy can sneak in through old habits, draining conversations, overcommitting, or simply not resting enough. So I started double cleansing emotionally, first identifying the toxic buildup, then actively washing it off. Think: boundaries, journaling, saying no without guilt, walking away from the unnecessary.

This shift? Life-changing.

My 3-Step Simple Skincare Routine (All Under $50)

You don’t need a 12-step routine or $300 serums to glow. Just some intention, consistency, and products that actually work.

1. Every morning, I rinse my face with cold water. It wakes me up, de-puffs, and gives my skin a quick refresh. Bonus: it’s free, and it feels like a mini reset before the day even starts.

2. In the shower, I use a gentle rooibos extract cleanser. Rooibos is packed with antioxidants and so calming for the skin, especially if you’re dealing with stress-related breakouts. My current one is from a local brand and costs under $15.

3. After my shower, I steam my face using just the leftover heat, towel dry, then apply a moisturizer with SPF (under $20). I finish with a rose water mist (less than $10) to lock in hydration and give that dewy goddess glow.

It’s basic, but effective, and my skin has never felt better (well depends on the month).

It’s not just about good skin (though that helps). It’s about energy. The way you care for yourself. The small, quiet rituals that remind you: you’re worth it.

So here’s your reminder to double cleanse your life. To let go of the people, habits, and thoughts that feel heavy. To simplify what you can. To make your skincare feel sacred.

Because glowing isn’t just about what’s on your face, it’s what you choose to leave behind.
