After a hectic week, we look forward to two relaxing days undisturbed by emails and alarm clocks—also known as the weekend. One of the best things about this mini break is that you finally get some free time to pamper yourself. Many of you have returned to work this week, so take this weekend as an opportunity to treat yourself to our pick of relaxing beauty products while you unwind with a soothing cup of tea or flick through your favorite fashion books.
Start with a self-indulgent bath and take in the blissful silence—no smartphones translates to no one to interrupt your tranquility. Light up a soothing scented candle, turn your faucet just below piping temperatures, plug the drain, and drop in the Lush Ceridwen’s Cauldron Luxury Bath Melt (US $12; AED/SAR 45). The multi-sensory oil features whole oats, which soothes the skin and leaves it feeling soft.
To obtain salon-worthy tresses that don’t require you to change out of your pajamas, opt for a moisturizing hair mask. Use the Kelly Van Gogh Rich & Delicious Intense Repair Caviar Hair Masque (US $129; AED/SAR 35) to breathe life into dry, dull strands. Apply it from root to tip, and allow it to soak while you enjoy a Netflix marathon.
Those looking to relieve tension and relax can opt for a calming hand massage. Add a dollop of the Aveeno Skin Relief Hand Cream (US $8; AED/SAR 30) to your palms and fingers, and begin your effleurage. The hand cream includes oatmeal to provide intense moisture and replenish dry hands.
