BEAUTY: A WEEK OF TREATS

Facial time! A lot of face masks take just a few minutes or can be left on overnight, and while these are great for busy evenings, Tuesdays should be reserved for addressing skin concerns, whether than be dehydration or inflammation. Tata Harper’s Purifying Mask is great for deep cleaning, while Dr Barbara Sturm offers an array of more intense, targeted treatments. Add in one extra anti-ageing solution, like Angela Caglia’s Rose Quartz Goddess Face Mask or LED therapy using MZ Skin’s Light-Therapy Golden Facial Treatment Device.

Take a few extra moments after your shower today to give a little TLC to parts of the body prone to the effects of gravity. A weekly massage will do wonders to lift and tone – call in help from Clarins’ suite of bust-lifting products.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have long touted the benefits of foot soaks to enhance the flow of energy around the body. Add some This Works Deep Sleep Bath Soak, scrub away dead skin cells and revel in the Z’s you’ll enjoy later that evening.

A nice long bath is a great way to end the working week. Light a Mad et Len candle, pour in L’Objet salts, suds up with soap from Senteurs d’Orient and wrap your hair in a Shhhower Cap to keep it dry and frizz-free.

Whether you’re heading out or staying in, Saturday is the perfect time to take care of details. Take your Rubis tweezers to your eyebrows, do your nail care and touch-ups or try out a new make-up look with an online tutorial.

Now that the body is well taken care of, it’s time to focus on the mind. Indulge yourself today in whatever way you need to set the scene for happiness. That might be with a fresh flower arrangement from Ellermann, aromatherapy oils by French Girl, noise cancelling headphones by Bose or simply meditating to music or a spoken track from your favourite app or video channel.
