Create a spa at home
You might not be able to get to the spa for a decadent body scrub or exciting facial but don’t worry because I have three of the best products for use at home for a spa-like experience. I always think having the tools to have an impromptu pamper will keep you motivated to keep your skin happy and healthy and you can always pop on Netflix while you pamper. If you are trying the ultimate experience, prepare some fresh fruit to enjoy afterwards as these will help your skin with antioxidants. Light a candle and soak up the comfort of being at home.
Body scrub
Sanctuary Spa Coffee and Oud Scrub, €13.95
Enriched with coffee grounds and cranberry seeds, the Sanctuary Spa Ruby Oud Natural Oils Coffee Scrub is a luxurious treatment to help exfoliate and smooth the skin. The blend of physical exfoliants is paired with naturally-derived oils, working to soften the feel of skin and keep it moisturised for up to 24 hours. It is perfect for removing fake tan as the oils break down the product. A decadent coffee and oud scent envelopes the body for an ultra-sensorial experience. I love to apply this on dry skin for tan removal and then shower or bathe. I highly recommend the full range for a great scent at a good price.
Facial steamer
Vanity Planet Aira, €95
Experience luxurious, spa-like pampering right in the sanctuary of your own home, with Vanity Planet Aira. By harnessing the cleansing benefits of therapeutic steam, Aira unclogs and purifies your pores, eliminating the accumulation of pollution, dirt, and dead skin cells that result in a lacklustre, lifeless complexion. Wave goodbye to dullness and stubborn breakouts, and hello to a visibly plumper, healthier and revitalised visage. Aira’s ion generator enables the steam to deeply penetrate under the surface of the skin, resulting in an incredibly thorough, revitalising cleansing experience that is 100% natural and suitable for all skin types.
Cleaning and toning
Ultrasono Device €229.99
Are you going to an event (my mind is firmly on the jazz festival) and don't have time to get a facial beforehand? Or are you like me a fan of a good night with some super beauty tech and an episode of 'And just like that'? Not to worry, the Ultrasono Device is a professional-grade skincare device that is created for you to use in the comfort of your own home. The Ultrasono Device has two modes, clean and tone. The clean mode, paired with any cleanser, used 30,000Hz high-frequency vibrations and positive ions to extract trapped dirt, dead skin cells, blackheads and oil from your pores, giving instant results. The tone mode uses high-frequency pulsations and negative ions to promote blood circulation and the production of collagen and elastin. The light tapping vibrations enhance the absorption of skincare products while stimulating the facial muscles to give the skin a lifted effect.
