Alright, I’ve decided on my spa routine. It’s not so much a day as a half day, but I think that would work better for me.
At midday, I’d apply hair oil all over and then do a five minute scalp massage with electric massager. I’d then pin my hair up out of the way and leave hair oil to soak.
I’d cleanse my face with a gentle foaming cleanser, then slap on a thick layer of eye cream followed by an equally thick layer of serum.
At this point I’d probably get on with my weekend jobs, but if I had time to spare I’d lounge in the garden for a while and get some sun, followed by a bit of light yoga and stretching. I’d also drink lots of water and snack on veg/fruit in the day. Generally eat light and clean.
Around 4 I’d head to the gym and workout hard for an hour. I’d then go to the changing rooms and spend 5-10 minutes dry body brushing (meant to be extra beneficial post exercise I’ve heard.)
I’d then spend half an hour alternating between the sauna and steam room (also meant to be good post body brushing!)
At home I’d have a light salad for dinner, plus another big glass of water with lemon, then I’d sit and relax or meditate for half an hour with my heat cap on (a plug in thing I got yonks ago that makes my hair treatments penetrate better).
I’d then have a shower, wash out my hair oil and apply a hair mask. I’d leave that to soak while applying a body scrub all over, then rinse it all off and finally shave my legs etc.
Out of the shower I’d wrap my hair in a towel and then apply first a body oil, then a body cream on top (apparently locks moisture in better).
I’d then give myself a facial, starting with a deep cleanse with an acidy foam cleanser. I’d then steam my face and cleanse again with an exfoliant. I’d then apply a clay mask and sit back for 20 minutes (with cucumber slices if so inclined) before washing it off, then I’d put on some gel under eye patches and a sheet mask.
While this mask was sitting I’d give myself a pedicure, full works with my foot bath and lots of scrubs and a pumice stone followed by lots of cream and some cotton socks.
I’d then take off the sheet mask and dry my hair big and bouncy, then set it all in sleep rollers, pinned under my silk cap for bedtime.
I’d then do my normal nighttime skin routine, but add an extra thick layer of sleep mask on top for the sake of it.
Finally I’d give myself a manicure, slap on a load of hand cream and some cotton gloves, then head off to bed!
Sounds good in theory and I’m dying to try it now! Could all fall apart in practice but I like the concept!
