The Daily Glow Ritual: How to Support Healthy Skin From the Inside and Out
A simple daily ritual using herbal tea, a lotion candle and Glow Elixir to support healthy, glowing skin from the inside out.
by Amber Boone, Holistic Aesthetician & Founder of Skin Soul Rituals
Glowing skin isn’t only about what you apply topically. It’s about what you drink, what you breathe in, how you slow down, and the rituals you return to day after day. When the body is supported internally and the nervous system is calm, the skin reflects it. Our skin is our biggest protector from outside pollutants which is one of the reasons is so important we support it in multiple ways consistently.
That’s the philosophy behind the Daily Glow Kit. I wanted to create a discovery kit of some of the very first products I created for Skin Soul Rituals. A chance to get to know my brand in a simple, sensory ritual designed to support and nourish our skin and nervous system from the inside out. 10-step routines are so 5 years ago. Now is the time for simplifying, nourishing rituals that support our every day. That we actually enjoy and look forward too.
Why glow is more than skincare
Dullness, dryness, and tired-looking skin are often signs of:
stress and nervous system overload
dehydration and sluggish circulation
lack of consistency, not lack of products
Skin responds best when our body feels supported. That’s why internal rituals and external care work best together.
The Daily Glow Kit was created to gently anchor all three.
What’s inside the Daily Glow Kit
Healthy Skin Tea
Herbal tea supports glow by:
hydrating the body
supporting digestion and circulation
calming the nervous system
When the body is nourished internally, the skin can do what it’s meant to do, repair, renew, and glow naturally.
Drinking tea daily creates a pause. A moment of warmth. A ritual the body recognizes.
Eucalyptus + Mint Lotion Candle
This isn’t your traditional candle.
Made with:
coconut wax, mango butter, shea butter, beeswax and jojoba
rosehip oil and vitamin E
grounding essential oils infused with eucalyptus & mint
As it melts, the lotion candle transforms into a warm, nourishing body balm that:
softens dry or stressed skin
delivers calming aromatherapy
grounds the body through touch
Eucalyptus and mint help clear mental fog and tension, making this especially supportive during evening wind-down or post-shower rituals.
It turns scent into skincare and relaxation into something tangible.
*Never used a lotion candle before, no worries it comes with its own lotion candle ritual card.
Glow Elixir (.5 oz)
Glow Elixir is a hydrating facial oil designed to restore the skin barrier and enhance your natural glow.
Made with:
jojoba oil slow-infused with rose petals and calendula
rosehip oil and vitamin E
grounding essential oils including hinoki, bergamot, and sandalwood
Used daily, Glow Elixir helps:
seal in moisture
support skin resilience
bring softness and luminosity back to the face
This is the perfect hydrating serum that supports your skin barrier. It also makes a great Gua Sha glide. Even a few drops is enough, this is about nourishment, not excess. It provides just the right amount of hydration without feeling greasy.
Ritual Card
The ritual card ties everything together, offering guidance on how to use each element intentionally.
Because results don’t come from owning beautiful things, they come from using them consistently.
How to use the Daily Glow Kit
This ritual can take 5–10 minutes, once or twice a day.
Morning or Evening Ritual:
Brew a cup of Healthy Skin Tea and sip slowly
Light the lotion candle and allow it to melt
Apply Glow Elixir to clean skin
Massage warm lotion into hands, arms, or body
Take a few intentional, mindful breaths
That’s it. Simple. Repeatable. Sustainable. Your Daily Glow Ritual.
Who the Daily Glow Kit is for
This kit is for you if:
your skin looks dull or tired despite “doing all the right things”
you crave simple rituals that actually feel good
you believe glow starts internally
you want consistency without feeling overwhelmed
you’re drawn to holistic, clean, self-care
It’s especially supportive during seasons of stress, transition, or when your skin feels out of sync. It’s also makes the perfect gift.
What to expect with consistency
With daily or near-daily use, many of my customers notice:
improved skin softness and hydration
a brighter, more even-looking complexion
reduced dryness and tightness
a calmer, more grounded feeling overall
Glow builds over time. Through repetition, not intensity. This is your moment to relax and support you.
A ritual you’ll actually return to
The Daily Glow Kit isn’t about chasing perfection.
It’s about creating a small, nourishing rhythm that the body and skin come to trust.
Because when care becomes ritual, glow happens naturally.

How Herbal Teas Support the Nervous System and Daily Rituals
Learn how herbal teas support the nervous system, digestion, and daily rituals through warmth and gentle plant support.
by Amber Boone, Holistic Aesthetician & Founder of Skin Soul Rituals
Herbal tea isn’t just something you drink when you’re sick or trying to relax. Although, those are some pretty good times to have it on hand.
When your using herbal tea consistently, it can become one of your favorite daily rituals. One that supports the nervous system, digestion, and the body’s natural rhythm through warmth, minerals, and gentle plant medicine.
In a world that constantly overstimulates our nervous system, tea invites us to do the opposite: it gives us an opportunity to slow down, soften and receive nourishment from the inside out.
Why warmth matters for the nervous system
Warm beverages send a powerful signal to the body and creates an inviting space for you to relax and be nourished.
Warmth:
relaxes the vagus nerve
supports digestion and circulation
reduces stress response activation
helps the body shift out of “fight or flight”
This is why herbal teas have been used across cultures for centuries, not as a quick fix, but as steady support when we need it most.
The gut–nervous system connection
The gut and nervous system are deeply intertwined.
Stress often shows up as:
bloating or inflammation
sluggish digestion
skin flare-ups
hormonal imbalance
trouble winding down
Herbal teas work gently here because they:
soothe the gut lining
calm inflammation
nourish depleted systems
encourage the body back into balance
Small, daily rituals can create big shifts over time.

I have formulated each tea with organic ingredients and an intentional mission to help support the areas we need it most, not just for flavor, but for how it feels in our body.

Tea as ritual, not just hydration
Tea works best when it’s more than a beverage.
Turn it into a ritual:
brew with intention
drink warm, not rushed
pair it with breath or journaling
use a strainer you love (check out my favorite celestial tea strainer here)
I have found for me, even something as simple as my favorite tea strainer and tea cup can make the ritual feel special and consistent, which is where you’ll get your best results and look forward to your ritual every day. It’s truly all about the little things.
How to choose the right tea for you
With herbal tea, there’s no “one size fits all.”
Choose based on what your body is asking for:
digestion or inflammation → Gut Inflammation Tea
dull or stressed skin → Healthy Skin Tea
stress or hormone overwhelm → Hormone Reset Tea
nervous system rest → Goodnight’s Sleep Tea
Many of my customers rotate blends throughout the day or keep multiple teas on hand.
Simple rituals add up
Herbal teas don’t override the body, they support and nourish it.
With consistent use, many of my customers notice:
calmer digestion
improved skin clarity
reduced bloating and inflammation
better stress resilience
easier transitions into rest
These changes aren’t loud and all at once but they are steady daily improvements you notice with consistency. Just like your favorite skincare or exercise routine, results build over time.

Does Topical Magnesium Really Work?
Topical magnesium is often used for stress, sleep, and muscle tension — but does it really absorb through the skin? This article explains how it works and who it’s best for.
by Amber Boone, Holistic Aesthetician & Founder of Skin Soul Rituals
Sacred Sleep Magnesium Body Butter
If you’ve ever taken a magnesium supplement and felt bloated, wired, or unsure whether it was doing anything at all, you’re not alone. Magnesium is essential for relaxation, muscle recovery, and nervous system balance, but not everyone tolerates it well when taken orally.
That’s where topical magnesium comes in.
So… does it actually work when applied to the skin?
Short answer: yes, for many people — and often faster than supplements.
Here’s why.
What magnesium does in the body
Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical processes, including:
muscle relaxation
nerve signaling
stress regulation
sleep quality
inflammation response
When magnesium levels are low, the body can feel tense, restless, sore, or overstimulated, even if everything else looks “fine.”
Modern stress, depleted soils, caffeine, and poor sleep all burn through magnesium quickly, which is why so many people are unknowingly deficient.
Why oral magnesium doesn’t work for everyone
While supplements can be helpful, they come with limitations:
digestion affects absorption
certain forms cause stomach upset or diarrhea
absorption is slower and inconsistent
the magnesium has to compete with other nutrients
For people with sensitive digestion, high stress, or chronic tension, oral magnesium often doesn’t deliver relief where it’s needed most.
How topical magnesium works
Topical magnesium is applied directly to the skin, usually in the form of magnesium chloride or magnesium oil, blended into creams or butters which is what we did with our Sacred Sleep.
Instead of passing through the digestive system, it:
absorbs through the skin barrier
reaches muscles and tissues directly
bypasses common digestive side effects
This makes topical magnesium especially helpful for:
sore or tight muscles
tension in the neck, shoulders, or jaw
restless legs
stress held in the body
difficulty winding down at night
Many people notice a calming or relaxing effect within minutes, especially when applied after a shower or before bed.
Sacred Sleep Magnesium Body Butter
Slow-infused with Arnica. This works to relieve tired, sore muscles and help you fall asleep fast.
Does magnesium really absorb through the skin?
Research on transdermal magnesium is still emerging, but existing studies and clinical use suggest that magnesium can be absorbed through the skin, particularly when applied consistently and to areas with good blood flow.
Beyond the science, there’s also lived experience — massage therapists, athletes, and holistic practitioners have used topical magnesium for decades because it works in practice, even when supplements fail.
In wellness, results matter.
Why magnesium butter works better than sprays
Magnesium sprays can be effective, but many people experience:
stinging
itching
dryness
A magnesium butter slows absorption slightly while nourishing the skin, making it more comfortable for daily use.
When combined with calming botanicals like arnica or soothing oils, it becomes not just functional — but ritual-worthy.
When topical magnesium is most effective
Topical magnesium works best when:
applied after a warm shower
massaged into tense areas
used consistently (daily or nightly)
paired with rest, breath, or intention
This isn’t about forcing the body to relax — it’s about giving it what it needs to remember how.
A gentler way to support the nervous system
At Skin Soul Rituals, magnesium isn’t treated like a quick fix. It’s part of a slower, more intuitive approach to care — one that honors the body’s signals instead of overriding them.
Magnesium Butter was created for people who:
carry stress in their body
want relief without harsh side effects
prefer topical support over pills
crave calm that feels natural, not sedating
It’s especially loved as an evening ritual — a moment to soften, ground, and release the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does topical magnesium take to work?
Some people feel relaxation within 10–20 minutes. For deeper benefits, daily use over 1–2 weeks is ideal.
Can I use topical magnesium every day?
Yes. Daily use is generally well tolerated and often more effective than sporadic application.
Where should I apply magnesium butter?
Common areas include calves, feet, shoulders, neck, lower back, or anywhere that you are holding tightness and tension.
Is topical magnesium better than supplements?
It depends on your body. Many people find topical magnesium gentler and faster-acting, especially for muscle tension and stress.
Final thought
Topical magnesium isn’t a miracle — but for many, it’s a missing piece.
A quiet support.
A nervous system exhale.
A way back into the body.
And sometimes, that’s exactly what healing looks like.
Ready to make magnesium body butter part of your nightly ritual?
Apply Magnesium Butter after a warm shower, massage into calves or shoulders, and allow the body to soften before sleep.
