My Anti‑Inflammatory Routine: Body Gua Sha, Foods, and Flow

My Anti‑Inflammatory Routine: Body Gua Sha, Foods, and Flow

Introduction

I used to think skincare started with serums. Now I know it starts with inflammation.
When your system is overloaded—stress, processed foods, poor circulation—it shows up on your skin first: puffiness, redness, breakouts, dull tone.

This isn’t about beauty standards. This is about what helps your entire body function better—so your skin can reflect that.

Here’s how I use gua sha, clean food, and targeted oils to support my system, reduce inflammation, and create real change in 4 minutes a day.

Why I Treat Skin From the Inside Out

  • Inflammation drives puffiness, clogged skin, and reactivity
  • Lymphatic stagnation shows up as dullness, water retention, and discomfort
  • Food, movement, and gua sha aren’t add-ons — they’re tools to reset your system

This is not about softening your body. This is about clearing it out—daily.

What My Skin Routine Actually Looks Like

Time of Day

What I Do

Why It Works

Morning

Activate lymph nodes, Dry brush, apply Unapologetic Body Oil, gua sha thighs + abdomen

Opens circulation, supports lymph, preps body to release excess fluid

Midday

Light movement (walk, mat Pilates), hydrating meal with healthy fats

Supports digestion and blood sugar (see 7-Day Reset for exact meals)

Evening

wind down, eyemask to sleep (link) 

Calms system, reduces puffiness, aids sleep quality

It’s not a ritual. It’s just what I do. Because it works.

Why I Use These Oils & Tools (Daily)

  • Body Gua Sha Tool  → Lifts stagnation. Clears water retention. Works on jaw, thighs, arms, abdomen.
  • Unapologetic Body Oil  → Fragrance-free, non-toxic glide for gua sha and post-shower skin support.
  • Glow Up Trio  → For days I want to layer in dry brushing + full-body care in under 5 minutes.
  • 7-Day Reset  → It includes the entire food plan, meal map, and daily movement support I follow when I need to recalibrate.
  • Eye mask

This isn’t a curated shelf of products. These are tools that do something.

My Food Is Part of the Plan Too

The meals I eat support my skin because they:

  • Keep my blood sugar stable
  • Are free of soy, gluten, grains, nightshades, legumes, alcohol, and seed oils
  • Include fats that support the skin barrier: olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil

And most importantly? They take under 5 minutes to prep.
You’ll find these mapped out fully in the 7-Day Reset program — so you’re never guessing.

What’s Changed Since I Stopped “Treating Skin”

  • My cheek bones and jawline is more defined (less water retention)
  • My skin tone is smoother — especially after travel or late nights
  • I feel good in my body, not inflamed or bloated
  • I no longer waste time or money on skincare fads that don’t address the root

Start Your Own 4-Minute Flow

You don’t need to overhaul everything. Try this tomorrow:

Activate lymph nodes

  • Dry brush for 30 seconds
  • Apply Unapologetic Body Oil while your skin’s still damp
  • Use Body Gua Sha on thighs, arms, or jawline (whatever needs support)
  • Move your body for 60 seconds — it keeps things flowing

It’s a system. Not a moment.
 And when you treat your body like a system, your skin shows you what’s working.

Ready to Reset from the Inside Out?

Everything you need is already mapped out. No fluff. Just clarity, flow, and results.

The skin glow is a side effect. The real win? Feeling lighter, clearer, and more you in your body again.
