Soak, Don’t Scroll: 5 Simple Self-Care Habits to Reconnect With You

We check our phones an average of 96 times a day. That’s every 10 minutes. We scroll to feel connected, but often feel more drained. We multitask to save time, but rarely feel present.

Here’s the truth: self-care doesn’t need a screen. It needs a shift in focus. A pause. A breath. A ritual.

At Marésso, we believe true self-care starts when you unplug from everything else and plug back into you. These five simple habits aren’t about perfection — they’re about presence.

1. Soak Instead of Scroll

Swap 15 minutes of phone time for a warm soak in mineral-rich Dead Sea salts. Your muscles relax. Your mind slows down. Your skin softens. It’s a full-body reset, without the endless notifications.

Try it with dim lights and calming music. Let the water be your reminder: it’s safe to rest.

2. Create a "Tech-Free Hour"

One hour a day with no screens. Use that time to read, stretch, cook slowly, or simply do nothing. Let boredom breathe room for imagination and introspection.

Self-care isn’t always action. Sometimes, it’s the absence of noise.

3. Light a Candle, Breathe, and Pause

Rituals don’t need a price tag. Just intention. A lit candle, deep breathing, and stillness can reset your nervous system in under five minutes.

Bonus: Choose a grounding scent like cedarwood, lavender, or rosemary.

4. Hydrate From the Inside and Out

Drink a full glass of water. Then care for your skin with a clean, nourishing soak. Minerals from the Dead Sea support skin hydration, detox, and glow.

The more we give our body what it needs, the more it gives us back.

5. Trade Your Scroll for a Journal

Jot down a few thoughts before bed. What made you smile today? What weighed on your mind? Let the pen be a mirror, not a performance.

Reflection builds awareness. And awareness builds peace.

The Marésso Mindset

We don’t believe in escape. We believe in return. Every bath, every candle lit, every moment offline is a quiet act of remembering who you are beneath the noise.

Our bath salts aren’t magic. But what you do with them might be.

Self-care doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to be yours.

Soak. Don’t scroll.

You’re worth the ritual.
