Highlights
The video starts by introducing the concept of a 'Hot Girl Summer glow up,' emphasizing confidence and feeling one's best. The first step in the routine is self-tanning the face using a brush to dab and blend the product. The creator acknowledges that working out immediately after self-tanning is not ideal but sometimes necessary, advising dark workout clothes to avoid transfer.
The creator partners with Wild, highlighting their new limited edition Miffy collection deodorant. She praises the brand's refillable beauty products for reducing waste, being Leaping Bunny certified and vegan. Favorite scents include cactus flower and coconut vanilla. She shares a discount code for viewers. Following this, she applies a hair mask and engages in a non-sweaty workout, emphasizing the importance of physical activity and strength training for confidence and overall well-being.
After the workout, the creator prepares a simple lunch of rice, tofu, and a vegetable blend. She then moves to her 'everything shower' routine, which includes a double shampoo (clarifying followed by hydrating), regular conditioner (after a previous deep conditioning mask), hydrating body wash, and shaving. She uses a 2-hour developing self-tanner, noting it will continue to develop after rinsing off the guide color.
Feeling refreshed, the creator proceeds with an at-home facial. This involves a thorough cleanse, gentle exfoliation (Dermalogica daily microfoliant a few times a month), eyebrow plucking, and a gentle face mask. She then applies hydrating products: Good Molecules hyaluronic acid essence, Glow Recipe Plum Plump serum, Tatcha lip mask, Good Molecules Discoloration Correction serum, Byoma Pink Moisturizer (a lightweight gel cream, ideal for acne-prone skin), and eye cream. She concludes with Hero Force Shield SPF, waiting for other products to dry completely.
The video shifts to mental wellness, with the creator engaging in journaling using the 'Do-It-For-Yourself' journal. This motivational journal helps work through life's challenges and set goals. She is currently in the 'overcoming setbacks' section, finding inspiration and a positive mindset for summer.
Next is an at-home mani-pedi. She preps by removing nail polish, soaking her feet, and exfoliating with a Dove body scrub. The process includes using Sally Hansen cuticle remover, pushing back and trimming cuticles, filing and shaping nails, and buffing. She uses toe separators and applies Essie's Mint Candy Apple polish, with Essie Strong Start base coat and Stay Longer top coat, finishing with Static Nails Cuticle Oil and Essie's 'Drip Drip' on nails.
The creator discusses internal validation versus external validation, encouraging viewers to embrace what excites them unapologetically. She stresses the importance of stopping negative self-talk, advising to identify and reverse critical thoughts with positive statements. She suggests pretending to be confident and self-loving until it becomes genuine belief, promoting actions based on love rather than hate.
She moves on to a summer makeup look, emphasizing light coverage with bronzer and blush for a 'sunburned' effect, and fake freckles using a brow marker. She powders to control shine, applies a pinky nude lip liner, and finishes with Lawless lip plumping gloss and Gisou's pineapple and strawberry lip oils. She puts on a yellow dress from Addicted, and a starfish necklace. The final body care essentials include Herbivore body oil for soft skin and Pacifica's light vanilla fragrance.
The video concludes with the creator feeling summery, smelling amazing, and having soft skin. She thanks viewers and reiterates the message that everyone is perfect as they are, encouraging them to love and accept themselves.
