we all get tied down and pre-occupied with kids, work, family life etc and as i've said before its very important to take some time out for yourself, even half an hour once a week can make a massive difference.
So tonight I decided to take half an hour for me!! :)
I made myself a cup of tea, ran a lovely hot bubble bath, and while waiting for it to fill I set to with the nightly facial cleanse:
First I massaged in the lovely Loreal '15 second miracle cleansing oil' to remove all my make up (which was minimal anyway),washed off thouroughly with a flannel,
I then massaged in the gorgeous smelling nspa 'melting cleansing gel', and used my No7 'Facial cleansing brush' all over my face and neck, again washed off thouroughy with flannel,
I then applied the SuperFacialist by Una Brennan 'rose hydrate intense moisture mask' smells divine this stuff does (who knew i liked the smell of roses?)
So far so good, face is cleansed and luxuriating in a new mask, so I hop in the bath and set to for the rest of me, after a quick soak I don my bright pink scrubbing gloves, lather up and manually exfoliate all over, I add a little of Soap & Glory's 'pulp friction body scrub' and go again, once satisfied I rinse off and decide to use the boyf's BullDog 'original shave gel' - well, he hasnt bothered using it and it was just sitting there, now I never normally use a shave gel, but thought i'd try it and see if it makes a difference, it does, it definitely does, this one is packed with essential oils and has a cooling/zingy effect when applied, smells fresh, not bad.
All defuzzed and exfoliated, its time to remove the mask, I soak my flannel and massage it off, it hasnt 'set' like most masks do, but has kept a firm, creamy texture, and removes easily, my skin definitely feels hydrated, after it being a little dry lately this is very welcome, and this mask will make its way into my weekly routine! ( I also use the rose hydrate calming creamy cleanser on rotation, love it!)I round up by moisturising my body with my amazing tub of 100% pure coconut oil, utterly delicious stuff that works for literally EVERYTHING, apply my Rana Argan Oil to my face, then massage in Ila face oil (which contains only hand blended natural oils) and the smell is to die for i tell you!!! and top it off with LP Skin Therapy overnight replenishing cream, and for the hands L'occitane dry skin hand cream
So i'm now all cosied up in my PJ's and slipper socks, my skin feels amazingly soft and supple, and i feel ready for a lovely sleep!
So goodnight guys, hope you enjoyed this post!
Make time for you, be happy :)
