The BEST Skincare 7 Day Glow Reset, EVER!


Dermatologist's Personal 7 Day Glow Reset


Welcome, my beautiful new friend!


I am genuinely so glad you are here!


Our skin tells the story of everything happening inside us — our stress levels, our sleep, our hydration, our inflammation, our hormones, our environment, and yes… even the small habits we often overlook. In the clinic, I see every day how a few mindful shifts can transform your complexion far more quickly than people expect.


That’s why I created the 7-Day Glow Reset — a gentle, structured, deeply restorative week designed to help your skin breathe, brighten, rebalance, and return to its natural radiance. This is not a diet.


This is not punishment. This is you giving your body, your skin, and your mind seven days of clarity and nourishment.

You will support your lymphatic system, calm inflammation, rehydrate the deeper layers of your skin, stabilize your energy, and give your complexion the chance to look fresher, smoother, and more even.


People typically notice:

• brighter skin• improved clarity

• reduced puffiness• tighter pores

• more even texture

• calmer breakouts

• lighter under-eye shadows

• a healthier, more rested appearance


All in just one week.


Inside this program, you’ll find daily structure, simple rituals, supportive practices, and meals created to make your skin glow from the inside out. Each recipe is paired with three alternatives so you can choose what works best for your lifestyle.

This week is for you! Let it feel good. Let it feel spacious. Let it be a return to the version of yourself that feels balanced, intentional, and luminous.


May your skin glow as brightly as your heart.

WHAT THE 7-DAY GLOW RESET DOES

 

Think of this reset as a week-long exhale for your skin and body.


Your skin benefits because we are gently supporting:

• Hyaluronic hydration — replenishing the layers beneath the surface

• Inflammation calming — the root of dullness, redness, and breakouts

• Lymphatic drainage — reducing puffiness + tightening contours

• Gut–skin axis balance — improving clarity, texture, and brightness

• Skin barrier repair — essential for smooth, glowing skin

• Cortisol reduction — your skin reflects your stress levels instantly

• Mineral + electrolyte rebalancing — hydration only works when minerals are balanced


We’re not restricting your body. We’re guiding it back to efficiency, clarity, and glow.

 

THE DAILY RHYTHM GUIDE

Every day follows a gentle rhythm designed to reduce inflammation, brighten the skin, encourage hydration, calm the nervous system, and support natural detox pathways without overwhelm.


Think of it as a luxury wellness routine, not a strict program.


🌞 MORNING

Hydration Ritual


Start with 12–16 oz of warm water + a squeeze of lemon or plain warm water if your stomach is sensitive.This wakes your digestive system gently, hydrates the surface and deeper layers of your skin, and stimulates lymph movement.


Skin Awakening

Use a simple, calming morning routine:

  • Beneficial Face Cleanser

  • Rehydrating Face Emulsion (Centella + Peptides)

  • Mineral Sunscreen


    Optional: Gua sha, ice globes, or a cool jade roller for 2–3 minutes to reduce puffiness.

 

Glow Breakfast

Choose from the meal plan recipe or one of the alternative suggestions. The emphasis is protein + fiber + skin-hydrating nutrients.


☀ MIDDAY

Skin Check-In

A quick moment to breathe, soften your shoulders, and drink more water. Take 90 seconds—your skin will thank you.


Glow Lunch

Anti-inflammatory, colorful, hydrating. This meal is designed to stabilize blood sugar, reduce cortisol, and support collagen.

Optional: A short walk or 3-minute lymph-stimulating stretch.


🌤 AFTERNOON

Hydration Boost

Add electrolytes or a pinch of mineral salt to your water once per day.This supports deep hydration and improves skin plumpness and texture.


Skin Reset Moment

If you tend to get afternoon dullness or oiliness, do either:

  • A gentle splash of cool water, or

  • One swipe of a Hyaluronic Toner Pad (avoid overuse)

This refreshes the skin without stripping it.

Snack: If you’re hungry, choose from the list provided — always anti-inflammatory and glow-boosting.


🌙 EVENING

Glow Dinner

Nourishing, simple, and calming. Meals emphasize digestion, skin repair, and grounding ingredients.


Light Body Movement

5–10 minutes of walking, stretching, or mobility work helps reduce inflammation while supporting overnight skin regeneration.


🌜 NIGHT

Night Skin Ritual

  • Enriched Face Wash (or Beneficial Cleanser for sensitive skin)

  • Optional: A mid-week mask treatment

  • Rehydrating Face Emulsion

  • If dry: add a thin layer of moisturizer


    Avoid retinoids during this reset — we want calm, not stimulation.

Evening Wind-Down

Choose one:

  • 5 minutes of gratitude journaling

  • 10 minutes of box breathing

  • A warm shower to release tension

  • A calming herbal tea


Lights Out Goal

Aim for 7–8 hours of sleep. This is when your skin restores hyaluronic acid, repairs the barrier, and evens tone. 

 

🌟 DAILY REMINDERS

  • Hydrate consistently, not all at once.

  • Keep your skincare simple + calming.

  • Slow exhalations do more for the skin than people realize.

  • Be kind to yourself — your skin responds to your nervous system.


THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GLOW RESET

Skin doesn’t just “get dull.”It reflects subtle internal shifts long before we notice them — hydration levels, inflammation, mineral balance, stress hormones, blood sugar fluctuations, lymphatic stagnation, and the condition of the gut lining.


This reset gently addresses the six core biological processes that determine how radiant your skin appears.


1. Deep Hydration (Not Just Drinking Water)

Most people drink water but aren’t actually hydrating. Without minerals, electrolytes, and anti-inflammatory foods, water moves rapidly through the body — not into the cells.


During this reset, the focus is on cellular hydration, which supports:• plumper skin• improved elasticity• smoother texture• fewer fine lines• better barrier function


This is why we incorporate hydration windows, minerals, electrolytes, and water-rich foods.


2. Inflammation Reduction

Inflammation is one of the fastest ways to dull the complexion.


It shows up as:• redness• breakouts• puffiness• uneven texture• reactive skin


This reset temporarily reduces common inflammatory triggers, easing stress on your skin so it can repair and brighten naturally.

 

 

3. Gut–Skin Axis Repair

Your gut affects your skin more than any serum.


When your microbiome is balanced, you see:• calmer breakouts• improved glow• better moisture retention• smoother texture• a more even tone


Your gut communicates directly with your skin through your immune system, hormones, and nutrient absorption pathways. Our meals support a calm, nourished digestive system without extremes.


4. Lymphatic Drainage Activation

Your lymphatic system is your skin’s “detox highway.”When it slows, puffiness, dullness, and congestion appear.


This reset includes daily micro-practices that encourage lymph movement:• hydration timing• gentle morning massage• walking• breathing exercises• low-salt, mineral-balanced meals


You’ll notice contouring and de-puffing quickly — often by Day 3.


5. Blood Sugar Calm

Spikes in blood sugar lead to glycation, a process that stiffens collagen and accelerates fine lines and sagging.


This reset uses protein + fiber + hydration to keep blood sugar balanced, helping the skin:• stay smooth• avoid afternoon dullness• reduce inflammation• maintain youthful elasticity


6. Nervous System Softening

Your skin is extremely sensitive to cortisol and adrenaline.


Stress shows up on the face as:

• flare-ups

• redness

• oil imbalances

• upper cheek dullness

• premature fine lines


Each day includes a calming moment to bring your body into parasympathetic rest — the state where skin heals.


In Just Seven Days, You’re Supporting Your Skin From Every Angle


Not through restriction.

Not through harsh detoxing.

But through gentle, intelligent, luxurious care.

 

 

THE GLOW FOOD FRAMEWORK

This is not a diet. This is a curated week of foods chosen because of how beautifully they support your skin, gut, and hydration.


Here’s the core framework your meals are built on:


✨ Glow Foods to Emphasize (The Beauty Foods)

These are the foods that visibly change your skin in 7 days:


Hydrating Foods

Cucumber, berries, melon, zucchini, leafy greens, citrus, broth, chia seeds


Collagen-Supportive Foods

Eggs, salmon, bone broth (optional), berries, pumpkin seeds, greens, avocado


Anti-Inflammatory Healthy Fats

Avocado, olive oil, walnuts, almonds, chia, flax


Mineral-Rich Foods

Spinach, coconut water, bananas, potatoes, citrus, berries, herbs


Fiber-Rich Gut-Loving Foods

Oats, quinoa, chia, flax, berries, lentils, sweet potatoes, beans (gentle amounts)

 

Clean, Lean Proteins

Chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, tofu, Greek yogurt, lentils


✨ Foods to Avoid for Just 7 Days (To Reduce Inflammation & Puffiness)

These are temporary — not forever.

  • Added sugar

  • Alcohol

  • Fried foods

  • Heavy dairy (except Greek yogurt if tolerated)

  • High-sodium processed foods

  • Artificial sweeteners

  • Seed oils

  • Red meat (optional pause)

  • Refined carbs (white bread, pastries)


These foods create inflammation, puffiness, dullness, and congestion. Removing them for seven days gives the skin space to glow.

 

✨ Hydration Goals

A simple, beautiful rule:

Your weight (lbs) ÷ 2 = target ounces per dayMinimum: 64 oz

Plus once daily:½ tsp mineral salt OR electrolyte packet. Supports deep hydration, not just surface hydration.

 

✨ Snack Philosophy

Snacks are allowed — just intentional.

Think:• fruit + nuts• veggies + hummus• chia pudding• yogurt + berries• protein smoothie• rice cake with avocado• hard-boiled eggs• tuna snack pack

These keep your energy stable and prevent skin stress.

How to Use Dr. Lazuk Cosmetics® Products During the Reset


Throughout this 7-Day Glow Reset, your skin is doing three things simultaneously: calming, rehydrating, and rebuilding its barrier.


To support this process, a minimal, soothing, deeply hydrating routine works best.

Below is the recommended protocol using Dr. Lazuk Cosmetics® skincare.


🌞 MORNING ROUTINE

1. Beneficial Face Cleanser with Centella Asiatica

A gentle, calming start to the day. It removes oils and impurities without stripping or irritating the skin — essential during inflammation-reduction days (1–3).


2. Rehydrating Face Emulsion (Centella + Peptides)

Your glow anchor. This emulsion delivers hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, reduces redness, and supports collagen activity — perfect for days 2–7.

 

3. Natural Mineral Sunscreen

A must for every glow journey. Protects your skin barrier while preventing pigmentation, dullness, and inflammation.


☀ MIDDAY RESET (Optional)

Hyaluronic Toner Pads

Use only once per day during the program. They freshen the skin, restore hydration, and provide a clean, bright look without any irritation.


🌙 EVENING ROUTINE

1. Enriched Face Wash

Use when your skin needs a deeper cleanse (e.g., makeup, SPF, sweat) .For sensitive or dry skin types, alternate with the Beneficial Cleanser.


2. (Optional) Mid-Week Mask

Use a hydrating, peptide, or soothing mask on Day 5 to support collagen renewal.


3. Rehydrating Face Emulsion

Applied again at night to reinforce hydration and support overnight repair.


✨ GENERAL NOTES

  • Avoid retinoids during the reset — they can overstimulate sensitive skin.

  • Avoid exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) for 7 days unless your skin is extremely tolerant.

  • Avoid harsh scrubs.

  • Keep your routine simple — this is when your skin heals best.

This approach maximizes your natural glow without overwhelming the skin with actives.

 

 

You did it!


Seven days of caring for your skin, nourishing your body, and giving yourself a level of attention we all forget to receive from ourselves.


I hope this week felt like a gentle exhale — a reminder that your skin doesn’t need aggressive treatments or harsh routines to glow. It needs nourishment, hydration, calm, and consistency. And you gave it all of that.


If your face looks brighter…If your jawline feels lighter…If your mood feels steadier…If your skin tone looks more even…None of this is a coincidence. Your body responds beautifully when you slow down enough to hear what it needs.


Carry forward the rituals that made you feel good. Drink water like your skin depends on it. Move a little each day. Choose foods that give you life. And treat your skin with the same tenderness you want the world to show you.


Thank you for trusting me to guide you through this journey. I’m honored to be a part of your glow.
