I’m a firm believer that every woman needs a little pampering from time to time. As the old saying goes, “a woman’s work is never done.” If we’re not careful, us women will find ourselves burnt out, exhausted, and possibly even at the doctor. Ain’t nobody got time for that! 🙂
The problem is that many women either don’t have the time or money for professional spas. But, the beauty of the internet and Pinterest is that it is now more possible than ever to enjoy an at-home spa. Today’s post is my attempt at encouraging you women readers to take a little time for yourself.
I used to be a consultant for a skincare company, so I’ve done an at-home spa party a time or two using their products. The problem with that though is that they aren’t always affordable if you have a tight budget and you may not have the products on hand when you need them.
Feel free to either use the products you have on hand already, or experiment with some of the recipes I’ve posted. I haven’t tried them all, but they look fantastic and many of them use very few ingredients that you might already have on hand.
Now let’s get to spa-ing yourself from the comfort of your own home!
FACE
– Wash your face with a facial cleanser to remove dirt and makeup.
– Apply a face mask or scrub to exfoliate skin.
– Apply a toner to refresh and “rinse” your skin one final time.
– Lather on some moisturizer to re-hydrate skin.
1 Face wash / 2 Facial Scrub or mask / 3 Toner / 4 Moisturizer
LIPS
– Exfoliate lips using a lip scrub.
– Apply a lip balm to lock in moisture.
BODY
– Soak in a bathtub filled with warm water.
{Check with your doctor if you are pregnant}
7 Detox bath / bath salts / bubble bath
EYES
– Apply cucumber eye pads to your lids while you are soaking in the tub.
8 Eye pads
FEET
– Once you are out of the tub, use a foot scrub to exfoliate your feet.
– Apply some foot lotion and then put on some socks.
9 Foot scrub / 10 Foot lotion
HANDS
– Use a generous amount of hand scrub to heal your cracked or dry hands.
– Apply hand cream to lock in moisture.
11 Hand scrub / 12 Hand cream
Now was that really so hard, ladies?
I’d encourage you to make a habit of pampering yourself at least once every couple of weeks. Hopefully it will help you feel renewed & recharged. You could even invite some friends over and spa yourselves together {you may have to opt out of the bath portion}.
