At Stardust Gang we love giving you the inside scoop on products and practises which can improve your health and well-being - especially those which you might not know about yet.
Here's a rundown of 5 lesser-known self-care tips that you can start incorporating into your life for that glow-up we're all here for:
1. Practice Earthing/Grounding: Spend time barefoot outdoors, walking on grass, sand, or soil, or use an Earthing Mat/Sheet. This practice, known as earthing or grounding, allows you to connect with the Earth's natural energy, which may help reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and promote a sense of calm.

2. Digital Detox Bath: Take a bath with Epsom salts and a few drops of essential oils like lavender or chamomile. Unplug from electronic devices and use this time to relax, unwind, and rejuvenate both your body and mind. Alternatively, use an Aromatherapy Diffuser, while you take your bath.
3. Eye Yoga: Just as you exercise your body, it's important to exercise your eyes, especially if you spend a lot of time staring at screens. Try eye yoga exercises such as palming, focusing on distant objects, and rotating your eyes in different directions to reduce eye strain and improve focus.
4. Tongue Scraping: Incorporate tongue scraping into your oral hygiene routine. Using a tongue scraper each morning helps remove toxins, bacteria, and debris that accumulate on the tongue overnight, promoting better oral health and fresh breath.
5. Breathwork for Digestion: Practice diaphragmatic breathing or belly breathing before meals to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which supports digestion. Take slow, deep breaths, filling your belly with air, and exhale slowly through your nose to help relax the body and improve digestion.
Bonus:
Red Light Therapy: Red light therapy involves exposure to low-level red or near-infrared light and has been shown to promote healing, reduce pain and inflammation, improve skin health, and enhance mood and energy levels.
