Skinny Confidential Founder Lauryn Bosstick Reveals Her Rigorous Wellness Routine – From Dry Brushing to Red Light Therapy
LOS ANGELES, CA – Lauryn Bosstick, founder of the popular skincare and wellness brand Skinny Confidential, has shared a detailed look into her daily routine, revealing a commitment to holistic self-care that fuels her roles as a podcast host, entrepreneur, and mother of three. The regimen, recently highlighted on her Instagram, emphasizes lymphatic drainage, circulation boosting, and preventative skincare, attracting attention from celebrities like Lea Michele, Miranda Kerr, Charli D’Amelio, and Alix Earle.
Bosstick’s dedication to wellness extends beyond her latest product launch – a limited-edition “Butter Brush” cream – and offers a blueprint for integrating self-care into a busy lifestyle. Here’s a breakdown of her key practices:
The Morning Ritual: stimulation & Invigoration
Bosstick’s day begins with a focus on physical stimulation. A long-time proponent of dry brushing, she explains her 15-year practice evolved from a search for truly effective exfoliation. “I even started using a dish brush at one point because I couldn’t find bristles intense enough,” she confessed. She emphasizes the benefits of dry brushing for stimulating the lymphatic system, increasing circulation, and providing full-body exfoliation.
when time doesn’t allow for a cold plunge – a practice gaining traction for its health benefits including reduced inflammation and improved mood – she substitutes with dry brushing followed by a three-minute freezing cold shower.She describes the cold shower as “like a shot of espresso,” highlighting its energizing effect. Research published in the journal PLoS One in 2016 demonstrated that cold showers can increase dopamine levels, contributing to improved mood and alertness.
Skincare Focused on prevention & Glow
Bosstick’s skincare routine is streamlined but potent,prioritizing preventative measures and a natural glow. She opts for a gentle cleanse using filtered water and a cotton pad, followed by ice rolling to reduce puffiness. Facial massage, utilizing either her hands or a face massager, is incorporated to further enhance circulation.
Her daily makeup routine is minimal, consisting of Skinny Confidential’s Caffeinated SPF (which combines sun protection with caffeine to combat redness and fatigue) and Brow Peptide. The inclusion of caffeine in skincare is based on its vasoconstrictive properties, temporarily reducing blood flow and minimizing the appearance of puffiness and redness.
To address lifelong struggles with hyperpigmentation – discoloration of the skin – Bosstick credits regular red-light therapy as the most effective solution. “Some products have helped in the past, but nothing comes close to the results I’ve seen with regular red-light therapy,” she stated. Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low levels of red and near-infrared light to stimulate collagen production and reduce inflammation, with studies showing potential benefits for skin health and wound healing.
Habit Stacking & Prioritizing self-Investment
Bosstick advocates for “habit stacking” – linking desired habits to existing routines to increase adherence. She emphasizes the importance of making time for self-care, reading, exercise, and quality time with family.
“When you’re a working mom you have to get creative, which is why I always share my habit-stacks,” she explains. She views self-care not as a luxury, but as an investment in all aspects of her life. “Finding time for yourself to do the things that make you feel your best helps you show up as a better parent, wife, colleague, and entrepreneur. … I think of it as investing in myself and all aspects of my life.”
Beyond the Routine: Skinny Confidential’s Expanding Universe
Skinny Confidential has grown from a blog into a multi-faceted brand encompassing skincare, wellness products, and the popular Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast.Bosstick’s latest launch, the “Butter Brush” cream, joins a product line that includes ice rollers, mouth tape (designed to promote nasal breathing during sleep), and the aforementioned caffeinated SPF. The brand’s success is partially attributed to its focus on addressing common skincare concerns with innovative and accessible solutions, coupled with Bosstick’s authentic and relatable online presence.
