There’s not a woman out there who’d say no to a little pampering, so if your purse strings are feeling at bit tight at the moment why not treat your mum to a DIY spa day this Mother’s Day? You won’t have to spend a bucket load of cash, and not only will she enjoy every minute of it, she’ll love the thought and effort you’ve put in to it, too.
PREPARATION
Before you put your pamper hat on, do your mum and favour and hide her phone (she doesn’t need the distraction), light a few candles, put on some relaxing tunes and pour her a cup of tea. Oh, and I’m sure she’d enjoyed some fresh fruits to snack on, too.
DIY PAMPER DAY PLAN
Detoxifying bath: Fill the tub with warm water and amp up your mum’s state of relaxing from the get go with a calming, detoxifying bath. Mix ¾ Epsom salts with ¼ cup baking soda and add to water. Complete this perfect bathing combination by adding a few drops of essential oil. endota spa calm essential oil will work a treat. Note: get your mum to dampen her hair just before she gets out of the bath (you’ll see why in two steps time!).
Hand exfoliation: While your mum is letting her hair treatment penetrate, grab a bowl of warm water, dampen her hands and give them a good ol’ scrub. (Don’t be rough, though. Gentle is best.) Something like Sally Hansen Hand Re-Surfacer with Micro-Crystals will remove any dead skin cells, leaving your loved one with smooth, soft, happy hands. Remember to remove any product residue with a warm damp towel.
Healthy complexion facial: Further add to your mum’s state of relaxation by removing all traces of her make-up with a cream cleanser and some cotton pads, before gently massaging a skin-balancing product like Decleor Paris Clay and Herbal Mask into her skin and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. This purifying and softening mask also contains extracts of chamomile, which will amplify her state of bliss.Make-up makeover: Complete your Mother’s Day DIY spa treatment day with a little make-up. Don’t go overboard, though – we’re talking a hydrating and skin-perfecting tinted moisturiser like Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturiser with SPF 15, some nourishing lip balm and a coat or two of mascara. She’ll be left feeling pretty, but her recently pampered skin will be happy, too.
