1. Do Not Disturb
Nothing ruins peaceful tranquility like a cell phone ringtone. Make sure you turn your phone off or at least set it to silent. Try to find a space where you won’t be interrupted—somewhere off-limits to the rest of the family.
2. Set the mood and engage your senses
Engage all five senses. Dim the lights, burn some essential oil, sip on cucumber water, grab your fluffiest towels, and play some soft background music. It’s all about creating your own little sanctuary for an hour or two.
3. Combine your mask and bath time
Short on time? Pop on a sheet mask during your bath. SKIN REPUBLIC Sheet Masks are drenched in 25ml of serum—enough for you to also apply to your neck, décolletage, and hands. To make it feel more like a spa, add some bath salts or a bath bomb and light a scented candle. You’ll be amazed at how a few small tweaks can transform your bath into something sublimely spa-like!
4. Give yourself a hand massage
Your hands have been sanitized to the point of exhaustion—it’s time to give them some TLC. Pop on our dual-layered hand masks saturated in an ultra-moisturizing serum and give yourself a quick hand massage. The outer layer stays completely dry, so you can read your favorite book while giving your hands a much-needed treat. Skip scrolling through Instagram, though—the blue light from your phone can make you feel more alert and less relaxed.
5. Glow with a facial massage
Apply a sheet mask or under-eye patch and treat yourself to this glow-enhancing facial massage.
Step 1: Using two fingers, apply a bit of pressure and stroke from the top of your eyebrows up toward your hairline.
Step 2: Place the tips of your middle and index fingers on your temples. Stroke your fingers under your eye area, toward your nose. Continue gliding them over your eyebrows and then back under the eye area, following an oval path.
Step 3: Place your knuckles on your cheeks, next to your nose. Gently stroke your knuckles across your cheeks, toward your ears.
Step 4: Make a “V” shape with your index and middle fingers (on both hands). Place your fingers on your mouth area so that your index finger is above your upper lip and your middle finger is below your lower lip. Gently press and pull your fingers toward your ears.
Step 5: Place your knuckles on your chin so that your jawline rests between them. Gently pull your knuckles upward along your jawline toward your ears.
Repeat the above steps 5 times.
