So as exams are coming up for a lot of people (myself included) I thought I'd give you a run down of my favourite way to de-stress - a pamper evening!
So after fully cleansing my face, my first step would almost always be a bath, my favourite way to relax! But as I'm currently living in student halls, that's sadly out of the question! So I began with a shower instead. I washed my hair with a new purchase, the Garnier Ultimate Blends shampoo and conditioner. I have the one with coconut oil and cocoa butter, which leaves my hair feeling so smooth and looking so shiny. Definitely what my hair needed! I followed up with the Loreal Elivive Smooth and Polish hair mask to give my hair an extra treat! Whilst in the shower I also used the Palmers Cocoa Butter body scrub, the smell of this is like chocolate heaven!
Once out of the shower I moisturise both my face and body using the Boots Botanics Triple Action Day Moisture Cream and The Body Shop's body butter in the mango scent - again, another smell I can't get enough of!
The next step is all about feet (I know, not a body part we love to touch, but needs to be taken care of!). The Body Shop sells great skin care products for this type of job, I love using the Spa Wisdom Africa Honey & Beeswax Hand and Foot Butter, and finish with lashings of their Pepper mint foot spray. You can't say no to great smelling feet!
You can't have a pamper night with out a face mask; there are loads that I love but the one I used here is the Super Facialist by Una Brennan Tea Flower Deep Clean Pore Purifying Clay Mask. This does wonders for unclogging your face of anything nasty and leaves it feeling nice and smooth!
Whilst the mask is getting to work, I usually use this time to paint my nails. Keeping with the spring theme, today I went for Maybelline's Color Show in Urban Coral, I'm loving this!
Go and treat yourself to a pamper evening and let us know your favourite products to use!
