Lucia's picks

What does your ideal day of self-care in Lisbon look like?

I’d start with a morning workout—either mat pilates or yoga at Core Collective, which always leaves me feeling centered. After that, I’ll grab a matcha and head to the park with my dog for some fresh air and time in nature. Once I’m back home, I like to dry brush before showering to boost circulation and support my lymphatic system. In the shower, I’ll apply a nourishing hair mask, and afterward I go all in with my favorite creams and products for my body, face, and hair. The best part? Wrapping myself in a robe and watching one of my favorite shows from bed—total bliss.

Is there a ritual or habit that helps you feel your best, especially on busy days? 

A walk outside, without a doubt. Working from home, I really rely on that time to step away, get some fresh air, and clear my mind. It makes a huge difference.

What inspires and motivates your approach to wellness and feeling good in your own skin?

Honestly—just feeling good. When I take care of myself, I notice it immediately. That physical and mental shift is all the motivation I need.

Can you share a recent discovery—big or small—that you can’t live without?

Dry brushing has been a game-changer—it instantly makes me feel more awake and energized. I’ve also gotten into facial lymphatic drainage, which helps with puffiness and tension, especially around the jaw and eyes. It’s such a small thing that makes a big difference.

If you could recommend one experience or tip for someone exploring Cuerpo for the first time, what would it be?

Start simple: sweat it out in the sauna, then follow it up with a lymphatic drainage massage. It’s incredibly detoxifying and leaves you feeling light, fresh, and totally recharged.

What’s your go-to move when you’re feeling off balance or anxious?

Taking a walk by myself
