Last minute holiday beauty
Take care of yourself before the holiday – you’ll look and feel better if you pamper yourself just a bit.
- Soften your skin * Use a dry skin brush before you shower, or a lathered up scrubbie or a body scrub in the shower. Then after your shower, while you’re still a little damp, slather on the moisturizer.
- Take care of your hands * Since they’ll be busy this week, warm them up before bed in a sink of warm water, then work almond or olive oil into the cuticles. Cover them in moisturizer, and then put on some white cotton gloves and go to bed that way.
- Home manicure and pedicure * If you can’t get an appointment at a salon, no worries. Just give yourself a manicure and pedicure. They don’t have to be perfect. Just use a good top coat, to keep them from chipping.
- Facial mask * Treat yourself to a mask before bed. They only take about 15 minutes, but your skin will love the attention. (If you don’t wash your hair every morning, be sure to do the mask the night before you will be washing your hair – to ensure all the mask is gone from your hairline.) There are masks and scrubs for every skin type and price range, but if you want a simple one, just use an egg white on a clean face. Let it dry, then rinse it off.
