Self-Care is the buzz word for the ’twenty teens’
Self-Care basically means looking after yourself, physically and mentally, giving yourself permission to rejuvenate and refresh.
When you look after yourself, you are ready to carry on with mormal life which usually involves, for women especially, a great deal of time looking after others.
When your needs are taken care of, the person you care for will benefit, too.
Once you’ve decided it’s time to start nurturing yourself, block off some time where you won’t be interrupted, put on some soothing music, and try some or all of the following suggestions: Take a Bath: Get out the bubbles, oils and scented soaps, and soak until you’re wrinkled.
Deep-Condition Your Hair: While you’re in the tub, put on a deep-conditioning treatment for your hair, and let it work as you relax. Deep-Clean Your Pores: With a nice clay masque, you can draw impurities out of your skin and stress out of your system. Care For Your Feet: After you soak your feet to soften calloused skin, use a pumice stone to slough off dead skin, and finish with a rich foot cream, and perhaps polish. Nourish Your Skin: Rich, luxurious creams smell wonderful and feel smooth, especially if you exfoliate your skin in the tub before putting them on.
Because the air is thinner and drier in the winter, it drains the skin’s hydration, which is why the skin gets dry when it’s cold.
The solution is a thick, rich cream that will help to seal in the moisture.
Adding a gentle exfoliater into the mix will work wonders too.
Use it once or twice a week to remove any dead skin. Tend to Your Nails: Correct the beating your nails probably take from your busy life by filing and buffing.
