A New Year begins and with it lots of resolutions; to lose weight, get fit, save more, learn something new, the list is endless.
What we suggest is that you include a little ‘me time’ in your New Years’ resolutions, and ensure you schedule in some beauty time each week.
Full Body Exfoliation
If you were good and Santa bought you lots of lovely smellies for Christmas, then schedule in an afternoon each week to have a good long soak in the bath. Take time to fully exfoliate—using a loofer for those hard to reach places if you don’t have someone who can help out and give you a back scrub.
Not only will you be scrubbing away any dead skin cells and leaving fresh, soft skin behind, but if you like to tan then you’ll be giving your self-tan the best start ensuring there’s no rough patches or streaks.
Exfoliation is particularly important if you like to wax away any unwanted body hair as it prevents in-growing hairs.
Treat Yourself to a Bikini Wax
Just because you’re not stripping down to a bikini on a beach any time soon, it doesn’t mean you can’t make everything look neat and tidy downstairs.
If you’re new to bikini waxing, now is a good time to start the process as you can slowly build up your stamina in time for summer.
Do a stocktake of your beauty products
If you’ve got cupboards full of products that you barely use, now is a good time to have a bit of a clear out. Throw away anything that looks or smells strange, or that you’ve simply never used.
As we age, our skin needs different products so ensure that your stash of beauty supplies is right for you skin now. Also remember that our skin needs can be very different in the winter to the warmer months, as many of us need a richer moisturiser to cope with the drying effects of the cold weather and indoor central heating.
Get a Professional Facial
If you’re not sure of the products you should be using for your skin, getting a professional facial is a good way to find out. Getting an in-depth analysis of your skin type and the products you should be using for your skin, along with professional advice on how to address any skin issues you may have, will leave you with a healthy glow and have you looking your very best for 2014.
