Hot baths are the best cure for the soul
Adulting is hard, we tell you that. There’s work, socializing and endless bills to pay. Doesn’t matter how strong-willed or extroverted you are, in the long run, stress always has a way of creeping up on you. While there’s no magic spell to cast them all away, a little me-time is as good as any reset button. From lighting your favorite candle to lathering your skin with the creamiest body wash, it’s little indulgences like these that make a whole new difference. You can imagine it as a full-on pamper spa experience, only that it’s taking place right at the premises of your home: the bathroom.
Keeping Things Simple
Sometimes all you need after a long day is an unscented body wash to wind you down. Scents are invigorating, though, they can be nose-pinching too. For days when you feel like skipping the frills, opt for Ivory’s original body wash. Dermatologist-tested, and features a readable ingredient list that’s free of dyes as well as heavy perfumes — this one cleanses deep and takes care of your skin through and through.
Skincare Is Selfcare
Long showers take away the stress. But at the same time, it sucks away all your moisture, leaving you with dry, cracked, and irritated skin. When that happens, turn to Olay’s Ultra Moisture Bar to rehydrate parched skin. The creamy formula instantly leaves skin soft and supple — thanks to the main star of the show: shea butter that’s also known for healing skin problems, fighting breakouts and wrinkles.
All For Beauty
Uno Premier’s soap bar may only be Php 199, but the benefits that come with it are boundless. Not only will you get the usual effective cleaning and hydration, but there’s also the skin whitening and age-defying part to look forward to. The ingredients that made it all happen? Rosehip oil, grapeseed, vitamin C, vitamin E, and collagen. And here’s an insider’s tip: it’s perfect for the face too!
Candles That Transport
Picture this: you come home all worked up, with job-related thoughts still freshly in your mind. At this point, a quick whiff of FAVORI’s eucalyptus and peppermint candle can instantly untangle any tight head knots and soothe unresolved tensions. Minty and cooling — if that doesn’t take you on a mental walk in the woods, inhaling the blend can still be beneficial by opening up your sinuses and clearing your head.
Unwind With Lavender
Lavender always makes sense when you’re looking to unwind. And this one by Happy Island particularly is a reminiscent of rustic, romantic Italy. It has that floral, herby, balsamic scent tempered with tangy notes of lemon verbena. Familiar yet unique, which makes this the perfect addition to your candle stash when traveling across borders are still not considered safe yet.
Don’t Play With Fire
Being the careful you, there will be instances where you worry about your bathroom catching fire. But that’d be clashing with the whole point of self-care here which is to relax and unwind. For a trouble-free moment, Yankee Candle’s candle warmers are your saving grace. In addition to melting wax sans the open flame, this brilliant invention also helps prolong your candles as they do not produce any soot.
Self-care can be as easy as taking a long, relaxing bath. But before you proceed with that, you need the right body washes, soaps and candles to get you into the mood. Get everything you need at ZALORA Philippines now!
