Hello everyone!
Today I'm going to be talking to you about a little bit of pampering, my pamper evening routine to be specific. I try to do one of these evenings at least once a week, just to help me relax and stop me from getting too stressed out with whatever has been going on that week. Because I tend to get quite anxious, I find that these nights really help me forget about all my worries and just chill out. So, I am going to tell you what my typical pamper evening consists of and which are my favourite products to use during it, whether they be for my face, body or bath. On with the post.. Firstly, I always like to light a candle to give a nice relaxing atmosphere.
Today I'm going to be talking to you about a little bit of pampering, my pamper evening routine to be specific. I try to do one of these evenings at least once a week, just to help me relax and stop me from getting too stressed out with whatever has been going on that week. Because I tend to get quite anxious, I find that these nights really help me forget about all my worries and just chill out. So, I am going to tell you what my typical pamper evening consists of and which are my favourite products to use during it, whether they be for my face, body or bath. On with the post.. Firstly, I always like to light a candle to give a nice relaxing atmosphere.
The first thing I do before I even think about getting into the bath is wash my face. At the moment I am loving The Body Shop's Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter. I take a little bit out onto my fingers and rub between my fingers a little. I then just massage it into my skin, whether I'm wearing make-up or not and once it looks like all the make-up has been dissolved, I will wet my fingertips with a little water. Then I continue to massage my skin until the cleanser turns into a lather and then I wipe it off with a damp flannel. Once I have had my bath and am all dried off and have carried out the other steps of my routine, I come back to skincare, using a face mask to give my skin a little treat. At the moment, I love the Sanctuary 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask. It heats up when you rub it into your skin and is ready to come off once it has cooled down. This means that you dont walk around with your skin feeling really tight and uncomfortable waiting for your face mask to do its job because you just leave it until it cools down and it's ready to take off straight away. The next step, that I can't live without is my toner. I am currently using The Body Shop's Tea Tree Facial Toner. I fell like toner gives your skin that really good and deep final cleanse to get rid of any little nasties that may have been lurking that my cleanser may have missed. Lastly is The Body Shop's Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-Oil,which I obviously use at night time, because I tend to only have baths in the evenings. I just squeeze out a couple of drops on my fingertips and gently pat it all over my face. I always find that when I use this at night, I wake up the next morning with my skin feeling so smooth and soft.
Next is the body care bits. This scrub, I wont mention too much as it will be appearing in a post that is coming up at the end of this week, but it has been one of my favourite products to use recently. It is the Strawberry Body Polish from The Body Shop, and it is just a dream to use, and it has unfortunately now run out, but I will definitely be repurchasing it when I run out of my current scrub. For after the bath, I~ have the Butter Yourself Body Cream from Soap & Glory. Moisturiser is a must for me when it comes to the winter months, because my skin can get so dry and this works wonders. My skin drinks it up and I use it morning and night to keep my skin nice and hydrated.
Finally are the products that I use in the bath itself, to make it lovely and fragrant and relaxing. Most of the time I use a bubble bar from Lush to create all the bubble for my bath because you can't have a relaxing bath without bubbles! But I am currently loving this bubble bath from Soap & Glory, the Calm One Calm All bubble bath. It has a built in body lotion for extra moisture for your skin and it has a lovely soothing scent to it. I also can't have a bath without using a bath bomb. I am loving the Lush Christmas Collection, as I do at this time of year every year and have the Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb here to use. I love the colours that they turn your bath and the lovely properties they have for your skin. That is my recipe for a lovely relaxing pamper evening.
What are your essentials for a pamper evening?
