Please
don’t get the wrong idea from the title of this post! I promise I do shower
daily, however I am a 5 min wash and go kind of girl. Mainly due to the fact I
am normally running late, I am not a good morning person! Therefore every
Sunday evening I try and make sure I get a little ‘me’ time and have a bit of a
pampering shower before bed. I have to admit it’s one of my favourite parts of
the week. I am definitely a shower girl, baths are great but I don’t always
feel that clean after a bath, I can’t get my head around the concept of laying
in a bath of dirty water?! Saying that baths are pretty nice on those freezing
cold dark winter nights, with a large glass of wine, a good book and lots of
bubbles! But that’s a whole other post for another day!
So I here
you ask what does a Super Sunday Shower involve? Well let me tell you! I take
this shower just before bed on a Sunday night as it helps me switch off ready
for bed. First of all I want to set a relaxing tone so as I am obsessed with
candles I light a few of my favourite vanilla tea lights around the bathroom
and then begin to run my shower.
First
product up is my Lush ‘The Sacred Truth’ Fresh
Face Mask. I love
lush products, especially there fresh face masks. They always leave my skin
feeling great, which is an accomplishment bearing in mind my face can be quite
sensitive! I tend to cleanse my face first using hot water to open the pores
and then apply the face mask.
Next up I
use the Korres Watermelon Body Scrub, apart from the fact it smells
delicious it’s an amazing exfoliant! I always use a scrub before I shave my
legs as it removes any dry skin and lifts the hairs allowing for a closer shave
and resulting in lovely smooth legs. To shave my legs I use a Gillette Venus Razor and Gillette Satin Care Radiant
Apricot Shave Gel. Both of
these are part of my bathroom staples. My legs always feel great after using
them, and I really like the apricot smell.
Next up I
wash and condition my hair, I won’t tell you about that here, imp planning on
doing a hair post shortly so will tell you all about it there! Whilst rinsing
the shampoo out of my hair I also wash the face mask off too. Also to rinse off
all the scrub and shaving gel remains I use Korres Guava Shower Gel, it is so moisturising and
smells so lush! If that’s not enough, to top it off its so good for your skin
as it contains Aloe, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and antioxidant
enzymes.
When I’m
out of the shower I moisture my body using Korres Jasmine Body Butter. You know how smells trigger
memories and moods? Well this one does it for me, the jasmine scent is gorgeous
and every time I smell it really chills me out and it’s definitely my Sunday
night bedtime smell! It’s also incredibly moisturising, I suffer from dry skin
on my legs and using this has really helped!
Oooh and
one final point, Fresh Bedding! It’s a must! There’s nothing better than
feeling all nice and clean and getting into fresh bedding! Perfect! Hopefully
it leads to a good Monday morning!
I love this! I used to have a pamper evening every Sunday where I'd have a bath and shave my legs and paint my nails and change my bedding etc but I got out of the habit. I might do this shower thing because I prefer showers too, and it's easier to clean yourself. Might write myself a list of super sunday shower essentials now ;) xo
ReplyDeleteLove a good old pamper evening!xx
