RELAX & UNWIND
After a particularly stressful year, it’s so important to take some time out and pamper yourself
Bath with benefits
There’s nothing more relaxing than a nice, hot bath, especially in these uncertain times. It’s the perfect opportunity to lock out the rest of the world and de-stress. One of our go-to products is Epsom salts, which have a host of health benefits, including easing muscle tension. This offering from Westlab infuses the salts with bergamot and frankincense for an uplifting aroma. If you’re more of a shower person, try out shower steamers – they’re mini bath bombs that you leave to fizz at the bottom of the shower. It’ll make the experience feel fancy, and create a gorgeous scent.
calm your complexion
Stress can really take its toll on skin, whether it’s stubborn blemishes or dryness. Taking the time to care for it will make a huge difference, and make you feel better too. Use a mask treatment weekly, making sure to use the right one for your skin’s needs. A jade or rose quartz roller will come in handy, too, as it will help drain away excess liquid from a puffy face, ace, plus it feels relaxing to use.
Care For Your Body
We wrap up in layers as soon as it gets cold, so it’s easy to forget our skin needs a little extra TLC. While bathing or showering, make a point of using a gritty body scrub once a week. Work into skin in circular motions to slough away dead skin cells and leave it feeling silky smooth. Follow with a moisturiser or an oil – products with a warm, tingling sensation will cheat a spa experience at home.
Get savvy with scents
The sense of smell is one of the most effective – it has the power to transform your mood and mindset. Lavender will help to set you up for a good night’s sleep, while rose has a calming quality, and citrus scents can lift your mood. Essential oils are a great way to experiment with different smells – apply to pulse points or add a few drops into a water bottle to spritz around the room. Candles also work a treat.
