Weekend Pamper

By the end of the week my skin is looking a little crap, my nails are chipped and nasty, eyebrows are a complete state and my body is as dry as! Sounds like a sight for sore eyes, right? Trust me, by the weekend I’m verging on looking like a complete mess! So what is it time for – a WEEKEND PAMPER! Don’t you just love those times when you are free to chill, relax and partake in a little pamper time, as self indulgent as it may sound, it’s times like this that live for 😉 So what did I get up to today?

Firstly, to combat the dry skin on my body I ran myself a nourishing bath by popping in a 1/3rd of a Lush Happy Blooming Luxury Bath Melt which contains Cocoa Butter and Passionflower Seed Oil – it leaves my skin feeling so soft! I gave myself a good scrub with my Soap & Glory Exfoliating Gloves mixed with my favourite shower gel ever – Lush’s Snow Fairy, and then doused myself in Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter – dry skin be gone! The ‘body’ stage of my pampering sesh out the way it was time to sort out my dull looking face. After a good plucking with my Tweezerman’s to rid me of my au natural mono-brow, I gave my skin a good ol’ scrub! As I use my Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish twice a day with a muslin cloth I don’t usually feel the need for an exfoliator, but with my skin in such dire condition it was time for drastic action! The Liz Earle Gentle Face Exfoliator has been sitting unloved in my drawers since it came with my first ever Liz Earle purchase almost a year ago now – the Liz Earle Skin Essentials Kit (go buy it, it’s amazing), but after giving my skin a scrub with it today it’s definitely going to be something that I do an a weekly cycle. It made my skin feel so refreshed, didn’t aggravate it at all, and got ready of all my flakiness. To top off that intense cleanse and exfoliation my skin needed some moisture, so I slathered on some Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate* that contains pure plant oils, this rebalances my skin adding moisture while not leaving it greasy at all. If you have normal/oily combo skin like me, don’t be shy of using facial oils – they really do help to moisturise and are great for when your skin needs that extra little ‘treat’. Finally, I turned my attention to my nails. I think I will do a nailcare video/post soon if you fancy it, but for the mean time all you need to know is that I painted them with my favourite colour of the moment, OPI’s Sweet Heart, the most perfect polished pale pink, I just adore how this looks on my nails. Scaggy nails sorted 🙂 

You may have noticed that I missed out a major step in my pampering day – hair! But do not fret I gave my greasy mop a good wash 😉 I will pop up an updated haircare video soon, but at the moment I am experimenting with hair treatments and oils so am deciding what ones I like best. I have to say at the moment the Macadamia Healing Oil that I got in my Boudoir Privé box is topping the bill, but more on that tomorrow 😉 Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
