Prepare to be pampered Five bucks say you aren’t treating yourself enough - get in on the game with these tips and products

Don’t assume that the only way to pamper yourself is to book yourself an appointment for a fancy body treatment, with a few luxurious products, your home can be as relaxing as any high-end beauty salon or day spa (and more so, if you’re someone who dreads being left on the massage table, sticky and shivering, while the therapist disappears to prep your shower/look on their phone). Just dim the lights, put some chill out tunes on your Spotify and get the hot water running in your bathtub.

Set the scene - fragrance-wise - with a scented candle and prep your face by washing off dirt and make-up before applying a sheet mask - Bioxidea’s Mirage48 Excellence Gold Face & Body Mask is a game-changing hydrogel sheet that will detoxify, moisturise, tighten and plump in 15 to 30 minutes - and once you’re done, chuck it straight into the tub with you, where it will dissolve to infuse your limbs with a little extra radiance.

Because we’re in extra-pampering mode, spoon a little extra something into the bath for optimum relaxation, like Aromatherapy Associates’ Deep Relax Himalayan Bath Salts, a blend of mineral-rich salts and essential oils that melt muscle tension away. Right before you rise from the pool like a phoenix from the ashes, slough off dead skin with Vitaclean HQ’s Golden Shimmer Coffee Scrub, which will not only exfoliate, but also rev up circulation and boost lymphatic drainage for a leaner silhouette (but, like with real coffee, stay off this brew right before bedtime hours).
Nothing says pampering like the perfect fluffy bathrobe, and Frette’s Unito Bathrobe is the ultimate cotton cocoon with which to envelop your now super-soft, super-soaked skin. Plus, having access to your very own Aquis Waffle Luxe Hair Turban will make life easier, too.

All that’s left really is to slather on some body cream - Rodial’s Pink Diamond Body Soufflé is made with diamond dust, and has magical firming and lifting capabilities, too -, and lay back in bed. What’s the rush? There aren’t any other customers at this spa but you. Hang out for as long as you like - or until you get sick of Enya. Whichever comes first.
