Create a spa day in the comfort of your home
A spa day does not necessarily mean that we have to turn our bathroom into a beauty salon and make a mess that will later give us more work than good.
Take some time for yourself and treat yourself to a spa treatment - at home.
A spa day does not necessarily mean that we have to turn our bathroom into a beauty salon and make a mess that will later give us more work than good. A face mask or a rich, foamy bath can have the same effect.
Also, we can treat ourselves to a product that will give us the feeling that we have escaped from everyday life and imagine that we are in a wellness resort abroad. Beauty routines can make our difficult and tiring day easier and can help us cope with everyday stressful situations.
Dry-brushing
The dry brushing technique has been one of the favorite spa methods in Scandinavia, Russia, and Turkey for hundreds of years. The reason for this is that this method successfully removes the dry and old surface layer of the skin and makes the skin soft, nourished, and smooth. In addition to having a positive effect on the outer layer of the skin, it is believed that dry brushing also leaves deep traces, i.e. well-being for the whole organism.
Dry brushing also helps fight cellulite, strengthens the immune system, helps the glands to function properly, and improves circulation, and the body gets rid of excess water and toxins.
Best of all, the dry brushing technique is simple and easy to apply in any home. Also, it should be noted that after brushing, the skin should be showered and deeply nourished in order to restore the skin's lost hydration. Dry brushing is a well-known treatment among wellness industry representatives such as Miranda Kerr and Gwyneth Paltrow.
A combination of face mask and bath
It is known that we women are good at multitasking, which is why we can use our ability in our routine. Why not enjoy a bath, but also a mask that will give us smooth and silky skin.
It is important to choose a mask that is intended for your skin type and not to overdo it. Namely, a common mistake that we all make in the hope that we will speed up the process and see the results faster is too frequent use of the product, although the instructions for use say otherwise. In that way, we are exposed to a higher risk of creating a counter-effect and drying out the skin even more.
When it comes to a bath, you can't go wrong if you add various additives to it, such as aromatic bath salts, a bath with rich foam or essential oils, and make the whole experience even more special.
Create an atmosphere with the help of fragrance
When was the last time you took an extra minute and lit a candle before you went to take a shower? Scents can help us relax and indulge our thoughts, but also remember people, events, or feelings. They can also serve as a decorative element and bring a touch of atmosphere to any home.
For maximum enjoyment, choose a candle with your favorite scent and take a few deep breaths, thus releasing all your problems and being in that moment.
Deep foot detox
Since spring is coming and the time will come when we will replace our winter shoes and socks with more open shoes, we need to dedicate ourselves to our neglected feet and dry heels.
Our lifestyle, the shoes we wear, how much time we spend on our feet, the seasons, but also the products we use to care for them have a big impact on our feet. The best way to restore softness and hydration is to establish a quality routine that will give us the desired results, but also maintain well-groomed feet.
Quality care should start with a warm bath, which will soften the outer layer of the skin and prepare the feet for the next step. While the skin of the feet is softened, it is necessary to make an exfoliation that will help us scrape the thickened areas, but also help the later care to be better absorbed. After these steps, it is necessary to apply a rich and moisturizing cream or balm to dry and clean feet, in order to nourish and protect the skin from the previous scraping and peeling.
