My Beauty Maintenance Schedule: Daily, Weekly & Monthly Routine for Glowing Skin & Hair

I’m sure we all have the basics of a daily beauty routine down. Wash your face, protect your skin, etc. But I thought I’d share my complete beauty maintenance schedule—a mix of daily beauty rituals, weekly skincare treatments, and monthly self-care resets that keep my skin glowing and my hair healthy. Following a structured beauty routine has helped me wear less makeup, feel ready for last-minute plans, and glow naturally every day.

Beauty Maintenance Schedule

Daily Beauty Routine (Skin, Hair & Self-Care)

Water

I’m a firm believer that the key to every good daily skincare and hair routine is hydration. That’s why I try and drink at minimum 3 liters of water everyday. If someone asked me how to maintain clear glowing skin my number one responce would be drinking tons of water. It’s made a massive difference in my skin health as well as the way the rest of my body feels.

I take my Hydro Flask Water Bottle with me at all times to help keep track of my water intake and take the LMNT Electrolytes every morning.

Shave Legs And Exfoliate

I lasered everything years ago, to make it easier to maintain a low-maintenance daily beauty routine. But I still get light hair growth. It only takes a few minutes to shave every morning. I think it’s totally worth it to always to have silky legs and never have to worry about what I’m going to wear. After shaving, I quickly exfoliating my whole body with a hand mitt. It’s one of the easiest everyday beauty rituals for glowing skin you can adopt. Not only does this keep you extra soft, but removing dead skin cells will help avoid bumps or ingrown hairs.

Moisturize

Right after I step out of the shower, I slather on lotion or body oil to seal in moisture and keep dry skin at bay. Keeping my skin moisturized is part of my morning and evening beauty routine. I’ve been using the Kiehl’s Crème de Corps Body Lotion and Jojoba Oil for years and swear by this combo for all day hydration.

NuFace

This is a small microcurrent device that helps lift and tone your face. I added this to my daily routine a few months ago. It takes about 5 minutes, and I try to do it as soon as I’m out of the shower every morning. But if I find myself running short on time, I’ll do it at night instead. The results are instant but require consistent use to maintain the results. As with most things in life, being consistent is key.

Scalp Massage

Every night before bed, I brush out my hair with my regular brush, then use this exfoliating scalp brush to massage my scalp. It’s basically dry brushing your scalp. Besides feeling amazing, it helps to remove buildup and increase microcirculation. Both are important for healthy hair growth. Lastly I apply the Hydrating Night Serum Treatment to my hair before putting it up in a bun for the night.

Eyelash Serum

The last step of my bedtime skin routine is my lashes. I had lash extensions for close to 10 years and truly loved them. But at the beginning of 2020, I removed the false lashes. My natural lashes were in pretty bad shape, and took several months of nightly care to grow them back. After learing about the harm that Prostaglandins casue I no longer use lash serums. Instead I use the Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum from The Ordinary and Castor Oil.

Weekly Beauty Maintenance Routine

Hair Mask

I feel that my weekly beauty maintenance schedule is pretty simple and is focused on my weekly hair care and scalp routine. Once a week, I do either an oil treatment before washing my hair or a deep conditioning hair mask after washing it. For my oil treatments, I use 100% pure natural oils like coconut or jojoba oil. I try and leave it on for at least 20 minutes, but if I have more time, I’ll keep the oil in my hair longer. Just use hot water to wash out the oil and warm water with the hair mask.

Wash And Style Hair

I can usually go a whole week between washes. If I have the time, I’ll let my hair air dry and then either straighten it or curl it. If I need to get my hair done quickly, I’ll blow dry it using the T3 AireBrush. This tool has changed my life as far as being able to do a decent blowout on my hair. I also have a Dyson Airwrap Styler, for when I want to quickly rough dry my hair. After my hair is curled, it will usually stay until I rewash it, as long as I don’t sweat it out. If I need to refresh it, it only takes a few minutes to go over it again with a curling iron.

• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Bond Repair
• Leave-In Conditioner

Face Mask

Definitely a big part of my skincare routine and my self-care Sunday routine. As well as a must for every weekly beauty checklist! I choose a face mask depending on how my skin feels I’ll either do a brightening, hydrating, exfoliating, or a clay mask if I’m breaking out. Finding a suitable mask for your skin type is an easy way to impact your beauty routine positively.

• MEGA-C™ 30% Vitamin C Brightening Mask (brightens and evens skin tone)
• Super Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask (clearing pores)
• Rose Face Mask (hydrating)

Bi-Weekly Beauty Maintenance Schedule

Mani And Pedi

I’d have to say that getting my nails done is the # 1 item in my beauty routine that I dislike the most. I don’t know why; I guess how long it takes to sit there, being unable to use my hands, and it’s usually a little painful. The only thing I dislike more is having my nails not done. For a low-maintenance nail care routine, I skip the nail polish and do dip powder or Gel X extensions on my fingers and gel polish on my toes. This way, there’s no worrying about chipping or peeling paint. If I have to, I can go for three weeks between appointments, but I generally try to keep it to two weeks.

Monthly Beauty Treatments & Self-Care

Facial

Going to get a facial is something that I’ve been religious about for my entire adult life! I really don’t enjoy most beauty maintenance. But I keep up with it all because I like things to be a certain way. The one exception to this is my facials. They’re peaceful and relaxing, and I always fall asleep and wake up glowing… what’s not to love?

Home Laser Hair Removal Treatments

So recently, I bought a laser hair removal device for home use. It was a little pricey, but in reality, it’s way cheaper than doing a yearly touch-up in a medspa. I use it for about 10 minutes once a month, and it keeps my whole body fuzz-free.

Day Spa

I try and make it to my local Korean Day Spa once a month. I’ll either get a massage or a body scrub. That, plus relaxing in the sauna and steam room, helps me to decompress and reset. It’s a great way to spend the first half of the day with some girlfriends, followed by a late lunch. Or if I’m alone, I’ll bring a book and enjoy a few hours of quiet time.

Seasonal & As-Needed Beauty Treatments

Hair Cut and Colored

Since i stopped coloring my hair 3 years ago, I know longer have a monthly hair color and trim schedule. Instead I try and stick to getting my hair trimmed every 3-4 months. I do think about coloring it sometimes, I don’t know, I really want red hair. But in the meantime I’ll stick with my weekly hair mask routine and foucs on growing my hair as long and healthy as possible.

Teeth Whitening

Every 6 months or so, I do a series of Crest Whitening Strips. Even though I don’t drink coffee, I do drink a lot of tea. Using the strips makes it easy to keep my teeth white and my smile bright without spending a fortune at the dentist.

Eyebrows Microbladed

I was a serious victim of over-tweezing in my teens and thinning brows is another symptom of Hashimoto’s. Sadly my brows never fully recovered from that stage. I first micro-bladed my brows 5 years ago to help even out my shape and fill in any gaps. Besides looking much better, it saves me a lot of time every day now that I don’t have to fill my eyebrows in constantly. Touch-ups every 12-18 months keep them looking their best and only take about 90 minutes.

Botox

I don’t have the best eyesight, and I squint and frown a lot. That, plus age, has started giving me some 11’s that I’m not okay with. So whenever I see them starting to move, I freeze them again. That usually ends up being about every 6 months. It’s not something I worry about right now, but if I start to see other wrinkles forming, I may consider getting more Botox for them as well.
