Your favourite massage therapist, beauty specialist, hairdresser or nail stylist might not be available at the moment. So let’s spoil ourselves now that we have more time at- or work from home. Let’s turn our own bathroom upside down and transform it in our own at-home-spa.
Self-care time!
First off…
Make sure your bathroom is nicely cleaned, turn on some relaxing music, light a candle or use essential oils. Pour yourself a glass of water and add some cucumber, lemon or mint if you like or prepare your favourite herbal tea. The mood is set!
Scrub
Summer is around the corner. The season to make everyone jealous with a healthy glowing skin. Lent your skin a helping hand by scrubbing away dead skin cells. The scrub technique has been used by women for centuries and is also gaining popularity among men. But how does one use a scrub? It’s actually very easy! Start by making your skin wet and gently scrub with circular motions. This way you simultaneously remove dead skin cells and massage your skin. Massaging your skin contributes to better blood circulation. The body scrub by Umami is made with 100% natural strawberry seeds as scrub particles to make your skin smooth and silky-soft. Once you are done scrubbing, rinse your skin with water. By scrubbing, other body care products will be absorbed more easily. Another advantage is that scrubbing allows you to get a tan quicker and more evenly. And the tan will last longer!
Don’t forget a cream
After scrubbing and a relaxing shower with one of the foaming shower gels by Umami, it is time to hydrate your skin with a rich body cream. Pamper yourself with the rich body cream by Umami that’s made with shea butter which smells nice and absorbs quickly. Follow up with a nourishing facemask. A facemask with red fruits has a high antioxidants level which is perfect for making your skin look young and healthy. Did you know that these are really easy to make yourself? Just grab the following ingredients: 4 cherries, 4 strawberries, 4 raspberries and a spoon of yoghurt. Mix everything together, apply it to your face and wait 20 minutes. Clean your face to complete your spa ritual.
A moment to yourself
Did you like your spa experience? Then why stop relaxing. Put on a warm bathrobe and make your favourite drink. For some quality time alone, read that book you’ve been wanting to read or watch that movie you’ve been wanting to watch. This is your moment.
