A Perfect Self-Care Pamper Routine For Weekend 

Here are some easy-to-follow tips that can help you unwind and rejuvenate during the weekends.

1. Set Up A Home Spa 

Command Alexa to play a relaxing track to alleviate your mood, before you start this regime. A recent study has revealed that light music can fend off stress, tension, and depression, helping your mind and body relax. Rummage through your beauty shelves, take out your favorite skincare products and get ready for a pampering routine.

  • Clean The Whole House 

We understand that weekends are for relaxing and you may not like the idea of cleaning the whole house, as it can be tiresome. But if you want to feel relaxed and enjoy the benefits of a spa session, you need to clear the clutter.

  • Cleanse From Within 

Prepare a fruit-infused detoxifying drink for yourself, and drink in small batches so that you can finish it off throughout the day. Eat lots of fresh fruits and try to consume fresh raw vegetables such as carrot and cucumber, to maintain gut health.

  • Dress Up In Your Spa Outfit 

Shed out regular clothes and dress up in your spa outfit. It need not be an expensive outfit. Just an easy long bathrobe, a pair of flip-flops, as well as a head wrap is all you need to enhance the experience of self-care.

2. Soak In Luxurious Bath 

Fill your bathtub with warm water. To this, add 2 cups of Epsom salt, as it helps to improve blood circulation, reduce blood pressure, and ease muscle tension.

3. Pampering Yourself With Professional Styled Facial 

Skincare should be your top priority and should be first on your to-do list. Invest in quality skin care products and avoid products containing harsh chemicals. Follow these simple steps for an effective at-home facial treatment.

  1. Cleanse your face and remove all makeup with a makeup remover. Almond oil is a great makeup remover.
  2. Follow it up with a low pH cleanser, massage in circular movements on your face and neck for approximately a minute.
  3. Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  4. To open pores and clean them, steam your face for up to 10 minutes. You can do facial steam at home by placing your face over the facial steamer and steaming your face for about 8-10 minutes. You can perform this once or twice a week for clean and clear skin.
  5. After facial steaming, now it’s time for chemical exfoliation. It is a gentle way of getting rid of dead skin cells as compared to physical exfoliators, which can aggravate sensitive skin.
  6. After your chemical exfoliation, apply a moisturizing and soothing face mask. You can either use a lotion or gel-based mask or a sheet mask.
  7. Rinse your skin with cold water, and also use your regular cream, lip balm, and eye cream. A hyaluronic acid serum has hydrating as well as anti-ageing benefits. Once you are done with your facial skincare routine, your final step should be applying Hyaluronic acid serum to your skin for maintaining a spa-fresh look.
