The brand has a unique emphasis on minimal but well-considered products to help you build a routine that&#8217;s low maintenance yet highly rewarding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After such a long career in the beauty industry, Thornton has compiled a quick list of her favorite products and rituals that keep her looking and feeling healthy, well, and always glowing. To come, her top picks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mbg-kluI62hpVL\">The tried-and-true: A gentle cleanser.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/how-to-double-cleanse-according-to-pros-who-do-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oil cleansers<\/a>&nbsp;from different brands, but there is no other gel cleanser that I have used or loved more than&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/howl.me\/cjotOdWFLD5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gentle Matter<\/a>. The cleanser starts in a gel format but performs more like a cream once it touches the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What I love about it is that it glides on the skin really silky. There&#8217;s no scent, it&#8217;s very aroma-natural. It&#8217;s a pleasure to use and it takes a simplicity approach in formulation, but it feels very sophisticated.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Klur<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gentle Matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who love a gel cleanser but don&#8217;t want loads of stripping soaps, welcome to Gentle Matter. This gel-to-silky cream formula is packed with antioxidants and moisturizing botanicals from olive oil, jojoba oil, primrose oil, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/mindbodygreen-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_fill,g_auto:thirds_0,w_480,h_320,q_auto,f_auto,fl_lossy\/org\/vw8aqnuuulfn1ig94.png\" alt=\"Klur Gentle Matter\" title=\"Klur Gentle Matter\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mindbodygreen-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_fill,g_auto:thirds_0,w_480,h_320,q_auto,f_auto,fl_lossy\/org\/vw8aqnuuulfn1ig94.png\" alt=\"Klur Gentle Matter\" title=\"Klur Gentle Matter\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mbg-x5Ik2_zIcw\">The surprise hit: Ashwagandha for relaxation.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Something that I ended up adoring but wasn&#8217;t totally expecting is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/ashwagandha-root-benefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ashwagandha<\/a>. I take it at night at about six o&#8217;clock because it helps me wind down. It puts me in a place where I feel like stress doesn&#8217;t affect me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I use&nbsp;. It&#8217;s a capsule and I take just one capsule. It&#8217;s not a ton of ashwagandha so I don&#8217;t feel depressed\u2014I can still feel my feelings, you know? It&#8217;s just enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life Extension<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optimized Ashwagandha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$7.50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you find yourself struggling to wind down after a long and stressful day, an ashwagandha supplement may be able to quiet that internal chatter. Be mindful of serving size and talk with your doctor if you&#8217;re unsure whether ashwagandha is a good fit in your routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/mindbodygreen-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_fill,g_auto:thirds_0,w_480,h_320,q_auto,f_auto,fl_lossy\/org\/s9ntpfc9mlfn1rlv3.png\" alt=\"Life Extension Optimized Ashwagandha\" title=\"Life Extension Optimized Ashwagandha\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mindbodygreen-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_fill,g_auto:thirds_0,w_480,h_320,q_auto,f_auto,fl_lossy\/org\/s9ntpfc9mlfn1rlv3.png\" alt=\"Life Extension Optimized Ashwagandha\" title=\"Life Extension Optimized Ashwagandha\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mbg-6hA8OvdRVO\">The secret: Using body scrubs at the gym for a mess-free experience.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;One of the most underrated things is a gym shower. I do<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/diy-scalp-scrubs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;body scrubs<\/a>&nbsp;at the gym\u2014I take a jar of my body scrub and take it there to avoid making a mess, and it&#8217;s the best thing ever. I do it once a week after a really great workout and some time in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/best-infrared-saunas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sauna<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mbg-79iHb7TtzP\">The up-and-coming: Grounding as a form of skin health.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I practice grounding as a form of skin health. I scrub my feet; I go to the park and walk in the dirt for 10 to 15 minutes and practice grounding for inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When I was a kid, I loved being in the dirt. I realized whenever I would go to the park I have the desire to take my shoes off. Rubber soles and insulated shoes disconnect us from electrons in the Earth anyway, and when I take my shoes off I feel like a whole new person, so I started making it part of a weekly routine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I do think we will start seeing more people grounding for inflammation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mbg-MPaWZnmzgA\">The steal: Affordable Korean scrubbing cloths.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I use these&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3JLYNII\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Korean scrub mitts from Amazon<\/a>. This is a cloth you can throw into the laundry; I just throw it in when I do my sheets. It&#8217;s not plastic; it&#8217;s woven fabric. Because of the way they weave it, it helps to pick up the dead skin. The best thing you&#8217;ve ever used for $6\u2014just add it to cart right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gold Sangsa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exfoliating Bath Washcloth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional shower poofs can collect mold and bacteria over time, so a washable product like these is an ideal swap. Not to mention, you can pair the scrubber with a body polish for extra power or use it with a creamy body wash for a deep yet gentle cleanse. When you&#8217;re ready, toss it in the wash and reuse it. How easy is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mbg-ZeKzJQxGGM\">The thing my grandparents taught me: Eat your protein and eat your vegetables.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;My grandfather died at 97, and my grandmother just turned 90. They were a butcher and a gardener, so they always told me: &#8216;Eat your protein and eat your vegetables.&#8217;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There are other compounds that are released when you chew foods. For example, broccoli releases&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/what-is-sulforaphane\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sulforaphane<\/a>&nbsp;when you chew it, and the saliva works on an enzyme that converts it to that nutrient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If you need a green juice on the go, fair enough. But sometimes, you just need to eat your vegetables. Skip steaming them, blending them, juicing them, just eat them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mbg-2ztIC1LY9cU\">The seasonal staples: A warming post-dinner tonic.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I love warming spices. I drink a combination of cayenne, cinnamon, and ginger in winter, and I love it. It&#8217;s a warming drink that I have either pre- or post-meal, but it&#8217;s my winter drink, and I just have to have it. In the summer, I put strawberries in it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s spicy, it&#8217;s warming, it feels Ayurvedic, it has medicinal properties to it as well.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thornton\u2019s recipe:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"mbg-RW3HGDHjtVw\">\n<li>1 cup water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 tbsp apple cider vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Juice of \u00bd lemon squeezed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bc tbsp ginger powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a pinch of cayenne powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a pinch of cinnamon powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a pinch of turmeric or turmeric extract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a couple of drops of stevia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/beauty-routine-lesley-thornton-is-using-as-of-late\">https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/beauty-routine-lesley-thornton-is-using-as-of-late<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beauty routines are never truly stagnant\u2014practices evolve and change like we do.
