Home Facial
First you've got to make a break from the stresses and concerns of the day. Soothe your mind and mood with Sage Bath. Add a capful to a hot bath or a few drops to a foot bath and let the purifying, soothing properties of pure Sage essential oil ease you into utter relaxation.
Next it's time for a deep facial cleanse. You'll need a basin full of hot water, a towel, Facial Steam Bath and Cleansing Clay Mask. Prepare your mask - the clay should be mixed with sufficient water to create a creamy paste. You can also customise the mask by adding eight squirts of Facial Toner and three pumps of Cleansing Milk.
Next cleanse your skin as normal with Cleansing Cream.
Fill a bowl with hot water, taking care not to spill it. Depending on the size of the bowl add up to two tablespoons of Facial Steam Bath. If you are using a facial sauna, one teaspoonful added to the water is sufficient. Lean over the bowl covering your head with a towel and breathe in deeply. For sensitive skin steam your face for 3 minutes, for normal, dry or oily skin steam for 10-15 minutes.
Immediately afterwards, apply the prepared clay mask to your moist face. The delicate skin around your eyes and lips have no sebaceous glands, so are much more prone to dehydration. Protect these areas by applying eye cream and lip cream before steaming your face. Always avoid these areas when applying the mask. For an oily skin condition the mask can be left on for up to 10 minutes. It must, however, be kept damp to remain active. Dab the mask with a damp sponge or muslin when it starts to dry out.
Remove the mask thoroughly with water and a muslin. The Cleansing Clay Mask has drawn dirt, excess oil and impurities from your skin, encouraging gentle exfoliation. Now is the perfect time to infuse the skin with plant oils and extracts to revitalise and renew.
Rejuvenating Mask is the perfect choice. It nurtures the skin as it reduces pore size and soothes redness and inflammation. Apply liberally to the face and let it work for 20-30 minutes. While you wait, lay back and relax as you soothe your eyes with Eye Solace. Extracts of Eyebright and Fennel refresh and soothe tired, strained eyes and keep you well within the comfort zone. After about half an hour, remove the Eye Solace pads from your eyes and remove any remaining Rejuvenating Mask with a warm, moist cloth.
You'll emerge from your at-home treatment looking and feeling as clean, rejuvenated and glowingly beautiful as you would after a visit to your favourite spa.
Tired Feet
We take on average around 9,000 steps a day and when walking the pressure on our feet exceeds our body weight. A part of our body we often neglect, our feet, like our shoulders, can hold a great deal of tension. A warm, soothing foot bath helps us to relax.
Fill a bowl with warm water, a washing up bowl will be fine as long as your feet fit in comfortably! Make sure that the water is deep enough to cover your ankles. Add two capfuls of Sage Bath and soak your feet for at least 7 minutes. As well as relaxing our feet, the Sage draws consciousness away from the head, helping to switch off the tumble of thoughts, which can only help relax us further.
Remember a towel to dry your feet and a pair of warm socks to put on afterwards. You may also find it helpful to keep the kettle next to you so that you can top up the water when it begins to cool.
After soaking your feet, dry them, then massage in Fitness Foot Balm and Neem Nail Oil. To complete the treat put on a warm pair of socks.
Day Spa
Transform your bathroom into a day spa! After showering with Rose Body Wash, gently massage Rose Body Oil into your still-moist skin. With your body enveloped in the delicate fragrance of finest Roses, pamper your face with Firming Mask or Soothing Mask. Give your fingers and toes a treat too with a manicure and pedicure using Neem Nail Oil to complete your home beauty treatment.
