Steps to follow in a pampering session

:beer:To use up some of the stuff in my stash and as a treat, I am Planning to have a pampering session today including a relaxing bath and hair mask. I am generally not a bath person as I don't feel clean enough if I don't follow it with a shower/ hair wash as the bath makes my hair oily because of the oils in the bath bomb even if I wear a shower cap but then I think that the shower has taken away all the softness/ fragrance my skin got from the bath melt because of using the soap So I want to know what steps you follow in a pampering session? Apologies if it's just plain common sense for everyone else but I come from a country where baths are not that common.

Thanks :T

Following are the things that I would want to do

Face wash
Face exfoliate
Face mask
Bath with bath melt/ bath bomb
Wash hair and condition/ hair mask
Body exfoliation including feet
Shave
Body lotion

  • When I have a pamper session, I usually put on some relaxing music and lock myself in the bathroom. I take off my old nail varnish and pluck my eyebrows. I wash my hair and apply deep conditioner and then pile it on top if my head and secure it with some old scrunchies and leave it. I use starflower oil as a face mask and apply this round my eyes. Then I get in the bath (with deep conditioner and face oil on). I exfoiliate in the bath, as well as shave. When I get out of the tub, I dry off and then wash the oil off my face and exfoiliate that. Then I rinse the deep conditioner out of my hair and wrap it in a towel. I usually go to my bedroom and smother myself in body cream. In the winter, I blow dry my hair, summer I let it dry naturally.

    Then I go down stairs with a nice glass of wine (or a cup of tea, depending on the time) and paint my nails.

    Bliss!

    I would bathe -shave - exfoliate - wash. Pedicure - fake tan/cream up - manicure -dry off hair.

    Shower in the morning if you don't feel it has cleansed you enough maybe?
