Amanda Chantal Bacon’s AM/PM routine
The founder of cult health and beauty brand Moon Juice shares her daily beauty regimen – and her secret to “post coital bliss”…
IN THE MORNING
I’m woken up…
…by my son [Rohan, seven]. I would sleep as long as I could every day, but he wakes me up around 6am and it’s brutal, I won’t lie. I do 20 minutes of meditation every morning; I simply close my eyes and use a mantra. Setting this time aside every day for me has made such a difference.
My beauty routine starts with…
…brushing my teeth with an electric toothbrush and baking soda toothpaste, then I use a copper tongue scraper. I don’t brush my hair unless I’ve just washed it; if I have, I use a wide-toothed comb and a dime-sized amount of conditioner on the ends. I use a tinted brow gel and dot a blush balm onto my cheeks and lips.
I eat tons of good fats…
…avocados, ghee, raw butter, olive oil, coconut oil or all of the above. A typical day of me getting through work and feeding my body like a machine [involves] either fermented veggies or coconut yogurt, grain-free pancakes, some kind of seaweed and often baked sweet potatoes.
If I’m feeling a lull in the day…
…and need to energize, I do ‘breath of fire’ for 3-7 minutes. I do equal inhales and exhales through the nose with my arms up. Or I add Moon Juice Sex Dust to hot water and do some breath work.
Exercise doesn’t suit me…
…but I walk a lot, simple and steady, as much as possible. Instead of classes, I book an endermologie session (a non-invasive cellulite-reducing and tightening treatment) once a month.
IN THE EVENING
Indulgence is key…
…so I’ll eat 90-100% dark chocolate, because I love the earthy, bitter taste and it gives my brain a real buzz.
I cleanse every night…
…using a Dead Sea Mineral bar soap, then I get a quarter-sized amount of Moon Juice Beauty Shroom Exfoliating Acid Potion and apply it with my fingertips all over my face. I finish by slathering shea butter on my lips and under my eyes. Once a week, I cover my scalp and hair in coconut oil and sleep with a towel on.
To help me get to sleep…
…I always take magnesium and turn all screens off, then drink a tablespoon of Moon Juice Dream Dust in hot water.
I listen to…
…Kaypacha’s weekly Pele Report, which is an astrology forecast. I’ve been doing this for the last eight years and there’s something really hypnotic about his voice that makes me sleepy within minutes.
On my bedside table…
…I have Moon Juice Holy Yoni oil for pre- and post-coital bliss and Cire Trudon’s Madurai candle – it has the most divine and calming Indian jasmine scent.
