Most of us spend our days running around after other people and forgetting about ourselves. However, self-care is just as important as looking after loved ones.

Spending time alone and doing things for yourself is important for maintaining a good quality of life. Whatever your preferred forms of self-care are, you should set aside at least a few hours a week (ideally more) to have a personal pamper day.

A day of pampering is often enough to rejuvenate you and keep you feeling fresh. Even if it’s only a rare occurrence, you will notice a significant difference in your mood and confidence when you schedule some much-needed pampering days into your routine. 

Here are four products to incorporate into your future pamper days.

Face Masks

Face masks are a common aspect of pamper days. They contain beneficial ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and antioxidants, that hydrate the skin, remove excess oils, and minimise oxidative damage. After a 10–15-minute face mask, you will feel rejuvenated and refreshed.

Consider choosing a face mask with a specific function, such as those that address dryness or those that cleanse the skin. You can also get face masks that have unique scents, whether you enjoy a sweet strawberry or classic aloe vera aroma.

Bath Bombs

Baths promote relaxation and enable you to ‘get into your zen’ and forget about your worries whilst you enjoy the feel of the warm water on your skin. Adding a bath bomb makes your bath water look colourful and aesthetically pleasing and enhances your experience.

Bath bombs create the illusion of being in a luxurious spa, and will leave your skin feeling soft, soothe, and like new. They also tend to have delicious scents, such as zesty lemon, tangy orange, or mouth-watering chocolate.

Consider also adding femme detox products to your bath routine to promote better skin health and take your pamper day to the next level. Such products include hydrating oils and scrub soaps.

Essential Oils

Whether you’re burning essential oils during a long, hot bath or relaxing in front of the television watching your favourite movie, they can enhance your pamper day significantly. There are so many different oils, including peppermint, lemon balm, eucalyptus, and bergamot.

Each essential oil is known to provide a unique range of benefits, with some promoting relaxation, others being great for reducing anxiety, and others even having pain-reducing effects. Make sure to check that your chosen essential oils are safe for use, as some can contraindicate certain health issues.

Candles

If you don’t fancy burning essential oils in your home, consider switching them for some scented beeswax or soy candles during your pamper days. Scented candles don’t just make your home smell great. They also create a calming atmosphere, thanks to the gentle flickering of their flames.

Find a couple of candles in scents that you enjoy, whether they’re vanilla, cotton linen, or cookies and cream. Turn the lights down low and allow the flicker of the candle’s flames to illuminate your home and allow you to wind down.
