Finding ourselves with a little more time at home than we’re accustomed to can present some unusual challenges. Using our time wisely and staying productive can be difficult with fewer outside responsibilities on our schedules. However, having the extra time at home presents some good opportunities to do certain things that we never seem to have time to do under ordinary circumstances—things like taking extra-good care of our skin and nails, especially when you can’t go to the salon.
Some of us are still staying in touch with co-workers, friends and family members through web conferencing programs on our computers, so looking good is just as important as ever. Well, now that you have some extra time, why not give yourself a special day at the salon at home? Do that facial, manicure and pedicure that might be a little overdue. With the right tools and your favorite lotions, creams and potions, you can get the salon quality you want at a fraction of the cost.
If you’re like most of us, you wash your face at least once a day. Twice a day is probably most common, once in the morning shower, and again at night before we go to sleep. But, how often do you get a deep facial cleansing, one that gets down into the pores of your skin, removing dirt and oils below the surface, and exfoliating dead skin cells? Even for those of us who wash our faces at least twice a day, skin-care experts recommend that you have a deep cleansing facial every three to four weeks—more often if you have very oily skin or acne with pimples and blackheads caused by clogged pores.
A facial cleansing brush is a great investment if you want a salon quality skin-care treatment at home. Easy to use and maintain, a good brush is battery operated or rechargeable, and has attachable brush heads for different cleansing purposes. For example, take a look at the True Glow® Battery-Operated Facial Brush. It gently removes dirt, oil and makeup, and includes three brush attachments to clean, exfoliate, moisturize and massage. You can use it with your favorite cleanser for amazing results.
If you’re looking to pamper yourself with the full salon treatment at home, you might consider the True Glow® Moisturizing Mist Facial Sauna System. It uses the three-step approach of opening pores, deep cleansing and moisturizing, and is exceptionally effective for preparing the skin for makeup application, or just go natural with a fresh, clean feeling.
There’s nothing quite like the pampered feeling you get at the spa. And now, you can have some of those specialized treatments in the comfort of your own home. Have you ever tried a paraffin wax bath treatment? It softens skin and alleviates dryness. Some say it may decrease signs of aging due to sun exposure. Take a look at the Thermal Paraffin Bath Moisturizing System from True Glow® by Conair.
Microdermabrasion is a gentle procedure that removes the outermost layer of your facial skin with mildly abrasive creams that contain substances such as sea salt. True Glow by Conair has developed an innovative tool that works a bit differently. Equipped with 3 speeds and 4 facial treatment tips, The Microdermabrasion Beauty Tool uses vacuum suction technology to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, leaving your skin feeling remarkably radiant and clean. A simple 3-minute treatment is all it takes to reveal brighter, smoother, and more glowing skin. Fully rechargeable with the USB cord provided, this home essential treats your skin to a spa-like indulgence that gently removes dirt and makeup from your pores without irritation for a fresh-faced, healthy-looking glow.
To facilitate the authentic spa experience at home, Conair® has designed the Hot Stone Spa Massage Experience. Relieve sore, overworked muscles with the penetrating warmth of real stones placed on specific areas of the body. You can also do pinpoint massage on precise areas by placing a drop of massage oil on the spot. Then, gently massage the area with the flat side of the stone.
So, use your time wisely and don’t be afraid to indulge a little. In times of high stress and anxiety, it’s okay to take a few hours for yourself. Don’t overexpose yourself to the news on TV, just check in for a quick update from time to time, then get on with your life. Remember those books you’ve always wanted to read, and that hobby you’ve neglected for way too long? Have some special moments with the people who live with you at home, and if you’re all by yourself, reach out by phone or video chat. Now might be the time to pamper yourself. It’s important for your well-being, and can certainly brighten your outlook and mood, all of which contribute to good mental and physical health.
