Are you feeling a little bit run down? If so then you may need to start focusing on taking better care of yourself. This is easier said than done, but there are things you can do to make a positive change to your life, today. If you want to find out more then take a look below.
Paint your Nails
The great thing about painting your nails is that it can add a splash of color to even the dullest of days. You can also pamper your toes if you want, as this is a great way for you to make yourself feel better. If you are the sort of person who knows that a manicure won’t last five minutes then why not go for a pedicure instead? Whatever option you decide to go for, you have to remember that you’re doing this for yourself, so go all out or go simple. Focus on what’s going to make you feel better, and then go from there. If you want to give yourself a little TLC right now then trim your nails and then go over them with a nail file so you can create smooth edges. You can then go ahead and paint them. A bottom coat will help to stop your darker nail polish from staining, and it also makes the nail polish easier for you to remove. Do this and then add two coats of color, before adding a final top coat if you want a stunning result. If you can do this then you will feel better in no time.
Find a Face Mask You Love
Another thing you can do is find a face mask you’ll love. Self-care sometimes begins online, so take a look at what’s on the high street. Pick out something that’s going to give you the look you’re going for and get ready to experiment a little. If you have never used a clay sheet, a peel-off or even a charcoal mask before then now is the time for you to do that. Apply as directed and then leave it on. When you have done this, you can then remove it and welcome smoother, fresher and clearer skin. With your face mask in place, you can then sit back and relax while the ingredients do their job. The great thing about face masks is that you can use them while you’re doing other things, so keep that in mind. If you have super dry skin, check out these skincare tips for sensitive skin.
Have a Soak
There is nothing more relaxing than you having a hot bath, with all of your favorite products and scents. If you can, use a lavish bath soak or even add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. This is great if you want to relax. When you have done that, you can then light a couple of candles so you can get that spa-like ambience. Of course, it’s recommended that you add a small amount of magnesium salt if you want to help your muscles, so try and keep that in mind. While you have the water running, now is the time for you to prepare yourself. Put a towel and your bathrobe on the radiator so it’s nice for when you get out. You can also grab a glass of wine or a book if you want to unwind a little. Small things like this often make the biggest difference, so make sure that you keep that in mind.
Wash your Make-up Products
Another thing you need to do is wash all of your make-up sponges and brushes. They could probably do with a thorough clean. Beauty experts have said time and time again that you need to wash them regularly as they can harbor germs and bacteria. That being said, not many people do. Use some baby soap and clean each of your brushes with care before you rinse them with lukewarm water. Squeeze out any moisture, and you will soon find that you get the result you are going for. You can spread all of your brushes out on a flat surface if you want them to dry out, but most of the time they will do so naturally so you don’t have to worry about this.
Want to take things to the next level? One thing you can do is make your own hair mask. Combine a few tablespoons of coconut oil with double the amount of sugar in a bowl. When you have done this, add some tea tree oil, and apply it for 10 minutes. Rinse it off, and you’ll have luxurious locks in no time.
