Sundays are important to me. It’s my reset day. Just a few months ago, Sunday was the day when I would race to turn in my assignments before 11:59 hits. Now that I’m out of school, I cherish my Sundays and use that day for self-care only. I wrote a post a while ago about how I use my weekends to prep for a successful week. I talked a lot about the different chores and tasks I do on the weekends. On this post I’m focusing on physical self care.
Self-Care is defined as “the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health.” Self care for me is both physical and Mental.
- Face Mask
I love a good mud mask, but for today I tried something a little different. Something a little chocolatey. I used this Chocolatey Peel Off Mask as my mask of choice today. I like this mask, although I wouldn’t recommend it for sensitive skin. While the mask was drying, I read a chapter of a book and completed a chapter of my real estate course.
- Exfoliating
I don’t just love to drink coffee, I also love a good ‘ol coffee scrub. I used this Cocoa Coffee Scrub to exfoliate my skin. This scrub smells so delicious and gentle on the skin. It comes with a wooden spoon, which is super convenient.
Okay, so am I the only one that still use a shower gel after exfoliating?
Quick Tip: Shave your legs after you exfoliate. This helps buff and prepare the skin before shaving.
- Eyemask
I just got on the eye mask wave and honestly I still don’t know where In my routine they should fit, but I used these Caffeine Dermis eye masks right after my face mask to help with the puffiness under my eyes.
- Moisturize
This is probably the most important part of my process. I first moisturized with my lotion, followed by a body oil. For my face, I’ve been doing a three step routine; which includes my Neutrogena sunscreen, CereVa face moisturizer and Callyssee Vitamin C Serum .
After my skincare process, I finished a few task of my to do list and rested for the rest of the day.
