Home spa evening for about £20?

I have completely neglected myself over the last 6 months in every department, and am dreading festive photos.

Have very little time and money, but have decided that I am worth an hour in the bathroom and about £20 of bits from Boots one evening this week.

I want to dye my hair, soak in the bath and have some sort of facial.

Please tell me about your favourite budget quick-fixes! (Bit late to start oil-cleansing method...)

Here is what I would do:

Shopping List:
Simple Face Mask
Body brush
Sanctuary bath oil or Original Source Lavender & Tea Tree bubble bath
Palmers Cocoa Butter Lotion
Scholl Rough Skin Remover
Scholl Rich Moisturiser Foot cream
Rimmel nailpolish in "Black Cherries"

Light candles in bathroom, put towel on radiator to warm, together with pjs & dressing gown. Grab a magazine/book and lock door.

Whilst bath is running, slather on Simple face pack. Cheap but very effective.

DUring the 3 minutes you are waiting for face pack to take effect, get busy with some body brushing - it will slough off dry skin cells and prep your body for the soothing bath oil.

Have 20 minute soak in bath.

Get out and then sit on edge of bath and give yourself a pedicure, using the bath water to rinse away the foot scrub and painting your toenails in gorgeous shade of deep plum

Slather self in body lotion.

Put on warm pjs and dressing gown. Jump into bed and luxuriate

ooh that sounds lovely!

I think I have a body brush lurking somewhere already - what else can I buy?!
