Everything You Need To Boost Your Self-Care Routine
(BPT) - When was the last time you treated
yourself so that you could feel good inside
and out? Now is the perfect time to show
some serious TLC to your skin, nails and
hair to give yourself the ultimate full-body
pampering session.
Try these ideas for enhancing your selfcare
routine:
Get that Glow
While there are a suite of serums and creams
on the market that give your face a gorgeous
glow, what about your body? Whether you
want to show off smooth legs or just want
soft, healthy skin to slip into your silk PJs,
try making your own homemade body scrub.
All you need is one cup of brown sugar and
half a cup of coconut oil for an exfoliating,
yet soothing scrub that will leave your body
feeling smoother than ever. You can add a
drop of your favorite essential oil to your
scrub that will offer aromatherapy and make
your shower smell like a high-end spa.
Cleanse your Way
To feel fresh from head to toe, use a wash
that you can trust to gently cleanse even
your most intimate areas. Summer’s Eve(R)
Cleansing Wash is essential while taking a
relaxing shower. Clinically and gynecologist
tested, it refreshes by removing odor-causing
bacteria, is designed to match your natural
pH level, and is free from dyes and parabens.
The cleansing washes feature an array of
Clinically Tested Safe Scents(TM) or even
Fragrance Free.
On days where you may not have time for
a shower, grab a Summer’s Eve(R) Cleansing
Cloth - perfect post workout or just for
a fresh pick-me-up!
Instagram-worthy Manicure
Give yourself a mani at home. With nail
design inspiration on social feeds, creating a
fresh and trendy nail look at home is easier
than ever. A new favorite design of nail
aficionados is the minimalist negative space
manicure that focuses on painting only the
mid-to-top portion of the nail with a color
and leaving the lower nail bed area bare.
Keep it simple and finish the design with a
topcoat or add in a nail jewel or sticker for
a bit of extra glam.
Luscious Locks
Infuse your hair with moisture and softness
by creating a natural oil mask with ingredients
you can find in your own kitchen. Rich
oils like extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil or
avocado oil are perfect for getting strands
moisturized. Give hair a quench of hydration
Seniors
by working in a small amount of oil from
your scalp through the ends of your hair, then
wrap your hair in a warm damp towel and
relax for 10-20 minutes. Shampoo your hair
thoroughly and condition as usual. Whether
you give yourself a blowout or air-dry hair
naturally, you’ll notice how soft to the touch
your locks will be.
Set the Mood for a Night In
As you enjoy your self-care prep for a cozy
movie night or date night, don’t forget to set
the mood at your place. First, make sure you
use your favorite delivery app to order wine
and snacks from your favorite local shops.
Next, hit play on your favorite playlist.
Self-care shouldn’t be limited to a special
occasion. Put regular dates for at-home
wellness sessions in your calendar. Treating
yourself is always worth doing. •
