Lately, Sunday pamper sessions have been a thing of the past due to work commitments and studying and boy did I notice them not happening. I find it a really good way to set myself up for the week and unwind,which is so important.
Heres a few things I like to do for a Sunday session:
The Routine - Since I started doing these at the beginning of the year, I looked forward to them and if I had to study on Sundays (which always happened) then I would do my best to be finished by 3pm or 4pm to allow for a couple of hours of time to unwind and relax. Ideally, I would just take the whole afternoon and potter around read magazines or a book, watch a movie or catch up on some youtube. Just whatever helps switch you off or that you don't have time to do Mon-Sat.
The Masks - Clearing my skin of all the make up and everyday nonsense is essential. To do that I will pick a clay mask, most often the Aesop Parsely Seed Mask. Soft on the skin, always leaves my skin feeling deep cleaned. I also like REN, Sanctury and Omorivicza, to name a few. I like clay masks...ok?! Then Its time to hydrate, reaching for my tryst Origins Drink Me up. Sometimes if Im not going out at all that day, I will wear this throughout the day as an extra treat for the skin. I also like to apply one of the Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Sheet Masks. My face loves me after this stage!
The Oils - Facial oils are always so luxurious and I use them throughout the week too. After a day of relaxing and time to spare I like to take my time in applying a facial oil, either Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Facial or Clarins Blue Orchid Oil and massage it in. This part I completely make up, and I am holding out for a video on from Caroline Hirons Youtube channel to teach myself. It just adds a little extra luxury to my routine.
The App - I recently became really into having apps on my phone that were for relaxing and clearing my mind. A new one I would recommend if you struggle to switch off is Relax Lite. It is free to download, will make you giggle slightly but i think it helps you to relax.
Basically, I like to think of Sunday as my day to recharge and get ready for the week ahead and give myself some time to unwind from the previous week. Try it this Sunday and you will be amazed at how well it works taking some timeout of your week to regroup.
Is it Sunday yet?!
