At home DIY spa day!
Hi everyone,
How are we all doing? I hope the good weather is lifting your spirits – wouldn’t it be great if this lasted for the next few months!
I know it’s a very strange time we are in and how we like to spend that time will differ for each person. One thing that is so important is self care and for me, I like to dedicate a few hours specifically to this every week. It could be reading a book, going for a walk, listening to my favourite music or having an at home spa day which is what I’m going to cover in this post! I love the feeling of freshly washed hair, a new layer of tan, applying face masks, cleansers, moisturisers … the list goes on!
Below you will find a round up of some products that you can use for a spa day at home until we are allowed to visit a real one (although sometimes I nearly prefer doing my own haha). I hope you enjoy and find something you would like to buy as a treat – you deserve it! 😉
Nuxe Reve de Miel Ultra Comforting Face Balm is an unctuous, enveloping and rich care designed to comfort dry and sensitive skin. Formulated with Honey, Propolis and Precious Oils intensely nourishes the skin, soothes and repairs, protecting it from external aggressions. It is particularly interesting for skins that are sensitized by wind, cold, and sudden changes in temperature. With an ultra-unctuous balm texture, it fuses gently into the skin for infinite comfort. As a result, dry and sensitive skin regains smoothness and elasticity. The sensation of tightness, redness, and roughness decrease significantly. And the skin regains its comfort
Vichy Double Glow Peel Mask is the first mineral mask with volcanic rocks and AHA to gently peel off dead cells for a refined skin texture and a fresh and luminous tone. Suitable for skin that lacks radiance. From earth, water and rock, Vichy has rigorously selected minerals to create its first range of face masks charged with Vichy mineralizing thermal water, tailored to suit different skin types.
One thing I always like to do for a pamper day is give my face a really good cleanse. Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Shea Butter is a gentle effective cleansing milk. This creamy mousse floats away make-up, pollutants and pore-clogging debris without disturbing skin’s natural moisture balance. Softens, smoothes and soothes with nourishing Shea Butter and Pro-Vitamin B5. Clean-rinse formula neutralises the drying effects of hard water. Suitable for Dry/Sensitive skin.
A spritz of Summer in a bottle! Introducing SOSU Dripping Gold Wonder Water Watermelon. I have used the original Wonder Water that was brought to market a while back and absolutely loved it so I’m looking forward to trying this one too! Infused with the revitalising, freshly cut, sweet scent of Watermelon, one spritz will take you right back to your fondest sunny holidays abroad. Wonder Water Watermelon infused delivers a radiantly healthy, natural face tan!
SOSU Dripping Gold Wonder Water Coconut is infused with the most uplifting, light & fresh exotic scent of Coconut, a spritz of this bestselling hero product will leave you looking as if you’ve just stepped off a plane from the Canaries. Wonder Water Coconut infused delivers a long-lasting sun-kissed golden glow!
Before we even think about re-applying a fresh layer of tan, we have to get rid of what’s already on our skin as otherwise, it will not apply smoothly and evenly. With the Dripping Gold Fresh Glow Tan Removal Mousse you will be ready to glow all over. This quick and easy mousse is a dream to use, forget harsh ingredients and swap endless hours of excessive scrubbing for tan free skin in minutes.
Sosu Dripping Gold Luxury Tanning Mousse comes in 3 shades: Medium for a golden olive tone, Dark for a deep golden sunkissed tone and Ultra Dark for an intense deep tone. This easy to apply tan mousse is ready to wear and packed with hydration for maximum skin health and a natural fade. It is hands down my favourite tan and the wear off is fantastic, there is a red undertone meaning it does not develop into an orange colour – not a look any of us want!
Revive the spirit of summer with Nuxe Sun Delicious Fragrant Water. Inspired by the addictive scent of the Nuxe Sun Skincare range, this mist conjures up the spirit of summer. Comprised of radiant tones of sweet oranges and petitgrain laced with soft tones of coconut, Tiare flower, vanilla and musk, this delicious mist will take you to the tropics – a touch of summer to every season.
Vichy LiftActiv Supreme Eyes features rhamnose, a naturally-derived plant sugar, clinically-proven to act on skin rejuvenation and fight the signs of ageing. Also formulated with caffeine and escine to help visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. This eye care product is gentle enough for use on all the delicate areas around the eye, yet strong enough to deliver clinical results. The thick creamy texture melts immediately into the eye contour area, leaving the skin feeling lifted, hydrated and smoothed. Other benefits are that it helps reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, de-puffs the look of under eye bags and improves the appearance of dark circles.
The new Lancome exfoliating Rose Sugar Scrub has been specifically designed to remove dead skin cells using dissolving sugar grains to provide gentle exfoliation. Its formula is enriched with acacia honey and rose water to leave your skin smooth, comfortable and supple. Skin instantly feels smooth, comfortable, refreshed and supple with an even-looking texture and glow. Also suitable for people with sensitive skin.
… and there we have it! Lots of different products for you to choose from so I hope this was of benefit for any upcoming DIY spa days you may have! They are very fun to do and a great way to pass the time but if you have any questions in relation to your skin, get in touch with the girls in Magees and they will be more than happy to help 🙂
Talk soon,
Emma
