Little Ways To Pamper and Care For Yourself. (Pt 1)

Try a Relaxing Foot Bath
Get a basin. Fill it with warm water, Epsom salts or bath oils and plonk your feet in there. It beats away the winter blues by warming you up and leaves your feet smooth and soft. This is a perfect way to unwind if you don't have the time or energy for a full bath.

Go Make Up Free
Have days where you just let yourself go make up free so that your skin can breathe. Clean it. Steam your skin and open up your pores. Make up can really clog your pores and dirt can build up on your skin from make up and day-to-day life. Have days of cleaning your face and leave it nude after.

Don't Use Old/Out Of Date Make Up
Treat yourself to new make up and bin anything more than one year old. Bacteria builds up in our make up and applying dirty, old, bacteria-riddled make up is not good for your skin at all. You deserve make up that is clean and relatively germ free.

Try to find a shampoo with NO sodium lauryl sulphate
Sodium lauryl sulphate/sulfate is often what makes your shampoo lather up to clean your hair. The problem is that it's really not good for you. It dries out your hair, robbing you of your natural hair oils. Try to minimise the amount of bad chemicals you use on your hair. Maybe even try to cut down on how regularly you wash your hair so that you can let your hair thrive in those natural oils. It should really strengthen your hair over time. Similarly, minimise the amount of products you use on your hair in general and try not to apply heat too often. Maybe on weekends, let your hair dry naturally after a shower. Have days where you don't straighten it. Just let your hair be...

Eat fruit and vegetables
I cannot even stress this enough. No more running out and buying creams, pills and potions. Just eat your 5 a day and you should see and feel the difference within weeks. Even picking a vegetable at random, a red bell pepper for example, has plenty of benefits. They're packed with antioxidants, help you to absorb iron, a great source of vitamin B6 and magnesium, they can help to boost your metabolic rate and help to keep skin smooth and more wrinkle free. Eat fruit and vegetables. Blend them into smoothies and drink them. Make them into face masks and apply them to your skin. Throw fresh lemon juice into as much of your cooking and beverages as possible. Fruit and veggies are the closest thing to beauty potions that we have.
