Key Takeaways

  • Takeaway1

    Aim for 6–8 cups of mineral-rich water daily to counter dry prairie air.

  • Takeaway2

    Combine protein, healthy fats, and fibre at every meal to balance blood sugar and hormones.

  • Takeaway3

    Collagen peptides, omega-3s, and vitamin C-rich foods accelerate barrier serums and microneedling results.

    Limit sugar and processed dairy around your cycle if acne flares.

  • Takeaway5

    Prepare snacks in advance so busy days don’t derail nourishment.

Hydration Comes First

Start the day with warm lemon water and add electrolytes to one bottle of water daily. Herbal teas like nettle or spearmint support clear skin. Keep a water carafe at your workstation and sip every 30 minutes—hydration keeps Ritual facial results lasting longer.

Build Your Glow Plate

Breakfast: chia pudding with berries and collagen peptides. Lunch: roasted salmon salad with avocado, quinoa, and citrus dressing. Dinner: slow cooker chicken thighs, sweet potato mash, and sautéed greens. Snack on cucumber slices with hummus or Greek yogurt with pumpkin seeds. These meals supply amino acids, antioxidants, and healthy fats.

Supplements & Lifestyle Boosters

Consider omega-3 fish oil, vitamin D3/K2, and magnesium glycinate (confirm with your physician). Practice 10 minutes of movement post-meal to stabilize blood sugar. Reflect on gratitude or scripture to end the day—joyful habits support the nervous system, which in turn calms your skin.
