Begin to relax
Shut down your phone and television. Switch on your favourite relaxing music and sip on some camomile green tea.
Face up to it
Clean your face: Use a makeup remover and then use a gentle face cleanser to get rid of impurities.
Scrub and exfoliate: Dermatologists say that this process helps in removing the superficial layer of dead skin. Be careful not to use harsh products nor scrub too hard, otherwise it could prove to be abrasive and harm skin.
Moisturise well: Use a rich creamy nourishing moisturiser generously on your face. With circular and upward movements gently massage it in. Wash off your face with cold water.
Mask it right: Use a soothing face mask that has nourishing, moisturising, brightening and tightening properties.
Body beautiful
Polish and shine: Exfoliating the entire body is essential. Use a body scrub to get rid of dull deal skin. Rub it all over the body in a circular motion and then wash off with lukewarm water.
All steamy and hot: Take at least two sets of hot towels and wrap yourself in them one after the other. You can also use hand-held, table-top steamers along with this. The hot steam improves your circulation and gives you a radiant glow.
Do-it-yourself foot spa
- Fill a wooden bowl (any pretty bowl will do) with warm water, epsom salts, a few drops of shampoo or foot soak, a few drops of your favourite essential oil and of course fresh rose petals. Let your feet luxuriate in your homemade spa bath for eight to 10 minutes.
- Trim your nails. Use a nail file to shape them. Avoid trimming and filing too deep at the corners to prevent painful in-growing nails. Toe nails are best left square.
- Apply a cuticle gel and push back your cuticle one after the other with an orange stick. Rub in a cuticle cream or a few drops of argan or olive oil.
- Scrub your feet with a scrubbing gel or cream for ten minutes and then wipe it clean.
- Use a pumice stone to give a light brush to your heels. Slough off the dead skin. Wash it off.
- Wipe your feet dry and then apply a foot cream or a moisturiser generously. Massage it in.
