I was always one to pamper myself before Ailsa came along. A nice long hot bath with a Lush Bath Bomb, a face mash, a hair mask and maybe a cheeky glass of wine. Now I'm luck enough to get a 5 minute shower in the morning and be able to blow dry my hair. Over the last 5 months I have managed to perfect the art of a quick pamper using products that work quickly for a pick me up when needed. Find out about my favourite products below.
I picked this up at the start of the year when I was heavily pregnant. My skin had completely dried out and I needed something to give me that boost of moisture. This mask is amazing, I pop it on before bed after cleansing and in the morning I wake up with silky smooth skin. It's also a product where a little goes a long way so it will last me for ages. I use this once or twice a week, sometimes more if my skin needs it. I'm sure this will come in super handy when the cold nights come round again.
I love this exfoliator. Gentle enough to be used daily and super quick to use. Just mix the rice based exfoliating powder with a little water to form a paste and massage into cleansed skin for a minute or so and you are left with super soft skin. Perfect to use before the Origins mask.
I have been using this mask for around 7/8 years now and I absolutely adore it. It is fantastic if your skin is feeling a little clogged up and spotty. At the moment I am using it around once a week to help keep my spots at bay and it leaves my skin looking fresh and clear. I tend to pop it on all over before I have my morning shower on a Saturday whilst I tidy up the bedroom or get my days clothes organised. Since I don't have as much time as I used too, it's great to multi-task. I also use the mask through the week specifically on any break outs to help draw out the spot and help get rid of it.
This is a new product to me but I am loving using it. It's a roll on eye cream which makes it really easy to apply and it is super cooling so great for waking up tired mummy eyes when you have had a bad night sleep. It also leaves a nice sheen to brighten up the eye area but not in a "in your face way". I love using this before make up but also on days when I am just staying in the house I will pop it on several times through out the day as nice treat as it just feels so amazing on the skin.
Lips are always the one area I tend to neglect when pampering myself, well not any more with my Lush lip scrub. I have the mint flavour and it smells amazing. It's a sugar scrub that I just rub into my lips once or twice a week to work off the dry skin and keep my lips baby soft for kissing my little ones face. I follow this up with a nice lip balm. I'm sure this scrub will come in super handy come winter when my lips normally get super dry and cracked.
So these are my favourite quick pamper products. Let me know what yours are in the comments below.
