Home Pampering

Today I thought I would share with you my pamper evening routine. I don't always do the same thing or use the same products but these are just some of my favourites... Enjoy!

The first step is making yourself a cup of tea, hot chocolate, or any drink of your preference. Today I used my Anthropologie "something good mug" and I had a cup of T2's English Breakfast tea. Once you've done that I start running my bath, it takes about 5 minutes to do , so while that's doing it's thing I cleanse my face and remove any makeup I had on that day, (if any). I love BRYT skincare's foaming facial cleanser. This isn't a very well known brand but I picked this up at my Christmas fair in December and have used it ever since. I believe they sell it in Waitrose and it is a reasonably good price so I would definitely recommend it. After I've done that I put on a candle. Today I chose my White company candle in the scent Cassis. I love the smell of this candle so much! It smells like blackberries, cedar and cloves and is a really sophisticated scent. Next I have the difficult job of choosing which products to use in the bath. Today I decided on my French Kiss bubble bar from Lush and the Jo Malone Amber & Lavender Bath oil. French Kiss smells like lavender, and the bubbles it makes are so soft and relaxing. I find that this works really nicely with the Jo Malone Bath oil because they both smell quite similar and both have the same relaxing and soothing effect. The bath oil makes my skin feel really soft and hydrated.

After you've put all the products into the bath you get in. I don't think I need to tell you how to do that. Once your in the bath deciding which shower gel to use is your next job, and today I chose the Wild Argan oil Shower Gel by the Body Shop. it smells quite nutty and luxurious, and it makes you feel very sophisticated once you've got it on. After I've done that I just sit in the bath watching YouTube, listening to music, or read a book. Whatever you want to do really. And after about 40 minutes I get out and dry myself.

The next part of your pamper evening routine is putting on a face mask. I am a big fan of the Superdrug Superfruits Exfoliating Mask, but today I decided to use my Love Lettuce Fresh Face Mask by Lush.  This is my favourite face mask from Lush as it's really exfoliating and has a really relaxing smell of Lavender, which I really like. Just a little tip for all Lush face masks, keep them in the fridge, and use within a month otherwise they will go really mouldy and horrible. I keep this face mask on for 15 minutes and while it's working its magic I normally watch YouTube or read a book, you know the usual. When the 15 minutes are up I moisturise my face and body. I like using Steam cream for my face, and any of the body shop body butters on the rest of my body, today I used the glazed apple one. I was given the Steam Cream as a Christmas present two Christmas's ago and recently I've really gotten back into it. It moisturises my face and leaves it feeling really soft, and it has a really neutral scent which is relaxing at the same time. The body shop body butters are always of a really high standard and if you haven't tried one yet I would definitely recommend them.

And that's the end of my little pamper evening routine. I hope you enjoyed it and in the comments below tell me one thing you can't live without on your pamper evening.
