September Reset: Embracing New Self-Care Rituals
As we settle into September, it's the perfect time for a reset. The transition from Summer to Autumn offers a fresh opportunity to slow down, refocus, and prioritise your well-being.
Whether you've been caught up in the whirlwind of summer activities or feeling the early signs of seasonal stress, September offers the chance to integrate new self-care habits that will set you up for a more balanced and mindful season ahead.
Why a September Reset?
A lot happens in September: it’s back-to-school season, Autumn kicks in, the nights start to get darker, the weather gets colder, our nights get cosier and we start to prepare for - dare we say it - Christmas!
Your September Re-Set Checklist
It’s the best time to relook at establishing healthy routines, so why not bring mindfulness into your daily life and look at some self-care?
Here’s 7 things to add to your September Reset Checklist:
1. Make Having an "Everything Shower" a Ritual
If you've ever heard of an "everything shower," you know it's one of the most luxurious and rejuvenating self-care rituals. This is where you take extra time to thoroughly pamper your skin, hair, and body all in one blissful session. Think of it as a full reset in the shower—a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own bathroom that’s perfect for once a week.
Make it an opportunity for a full body shave, a deep conditioning hair mask, face exfoliation and enjoy using luxurious body products. We love the Noughty Body Wash, which is full of natural ingredients and super gentle on the skin, leaving your body fully clean and fresh. If you pair it with the Noughty Body Yoghurt immediately after your shower, you’ll lock in lots of moisture and enjoy the soft subtle scent. You can find both of these in the ROCCABOX Heroes Box!
2. Mask Once a Week!
An easy way to refresh tired skin is by incorporating an eye mask or face mask into your routine, so why not get into a routine of relaxing with a face mask or an eye mask once a week. Eye masks are often infused with soothing ingredients to help de-puff and hydrate the delicate skin around your eyes. We love the Rodial Snake Jelly Eye Mask, which contains a potent tripetide that helps improve the appearance of crow's feet and reduces puffiness. Pair with the Rodial Bubble Face mask for the ultimate pamper! You’ll find each product in both versions of our Heroes beauty box - which one would you hope to get?
3. Morning Meditation or Journaling:
Start your day with mindfulness. Just five minutes of meditation or journaling can help you set intentions for the day, manage stress, and improve mental clarity. Buy yourself a new journaling book and a fancy new pen if you need to create a bit of excitement around it, and work out whether you’re best to do this in the morning or in the evening (or both!)
4. Daily Movement
Whether it’s a walk, yoga, or a short workout, movement is key to reducing stress and improving your mood. Find a form of exercise that feels good for you and commit to doing it regularly. You can even look at joining a gym, one that has classes, which is a great way to do some new socialising for September onwards too.
5. Update your skincare products
How often do you update your skincare products? Are you still dipping in and out of that facial cleanser that has been sat there for what feels like years? Products can go out of date without you realising, so use this new season to throw out the out of date or clogged up products, and reassess what you need to replace. If you need some help, you’ll find our customers highly rated and raved about products packed into two versions of our ROCCABOX Heroes Box, which covers you with everything from facial exfoliators and masks, to body products and moisturisers.
6. Focus on hydrating and nourishing yourself
You probably don’t drink enough water, so a new season is a great time to invest in a new drinking cup which is going to encourage you to get your 8 glasses a day! If you’re going to update your beauty routine and add new products which help with hydrating and nourishing, you have to make sure you’re doing your bit internally, too.
7. Protecting your skin for Autumn and all year round
As the weather starts to cool, your skin may react to the drop in humidity by becoming drier. Incorporating a rich night cream to your face while you sleep, and a natural body cream into your body routine are great first steps to take. It’s also key to start looking into protective ingredients, so your skin stays strong with a protected skin barrier. The iconic Zelens Power E Serum is a serious antioxidant loaded with Vitamin E to soften and protect. This hero product appears in one of our two versions of the September Heroes box, in which the product itself is £90 to buy, yet the full beauty box itself is just £15 subscriber price, and £22 one off!
