As many of us look at ways to add a little bit of luxury and self-love into our lives during this ongoing pandemic, Self-Care Sundays have become the go to thing to do – at least according to my Instagram feed. For me I do a little reset in the week whenever I feel a bit bla, rundown, or am just in need of something fun. I don’t generally wait for Sundays to be honest; I do a little midweek reset! This breaks up my week, lets me add in some extra skin and hair love into my week, which in my opinion is always a good thing. So, if you are having one of those days or just have a little extra time to yourself try my little go-to’s and see yourself glow!

step one

I like to start any at home skin care session by first removing any makeup

• Makeup remover

step two

Then I clean my skin using my daily cleanser but will also use my exfoliating mitt to add in a bit of exfoliating, I like to do this in the shower so I can also work on my hair. In the shower I will wash my hair and use a hair mask to add in some extra hydration for my hair.

• Consonant Natural Foaming Face Wash

• Exfoliating Mitt

• Hair Mask

step three

Next, I like to use something to exfoliate and detoxify my skin! Jump out of the shower, dry off and apply your mask, then don’t forget to moisturize your skin! I like to sit back and let it work, maybe read a book – you have about 15-20 mins ☺ Some of my favourites are:

• Consonant DHE mask

• Caudali Detox Mask

step four

Wash off the mask using a towel and some warm water. Now to add back some moisture and have a little Zen moment, apply a hydrating mask, lay back, close your eyes and just let it do your thing!

• Consonant HydraExtreme Charcoal Sheet Mask

• Fresh Rose Mask

step five

Remove your mask, and apply your favourite face serum, and lip treatment. DONE!! 

Try doing this little mini at home spa session once a week or when you need a little pick-me-up.
