Spa Treatments for the Hurried Mum

It's quite ironic that as maker of spa products I sometimes struggle to take the time to enjoy the products I make. I am surrounded by the finest oils, butters, fragrances, scrubs and salts that would make any product junkie envious, and yet it takes some effort and planning for me to treat myself to a much needed spa treatment. Like most working mothers with a business and household to run it is very easy to neglect taking care of yourself.

Here are a few things you can do to pamper yourself in little or no time


Cleanse: Always, always use a natural cold pressed soap. You will find that natural cold pressed soaps are rich in glycerin and are further enriched with cocoa and shea butter. Cold pressed soaps are not drying and leave your skin feeling clean and soft

Polish: A good goal would be to exfoliate weekly. You can do this with a sugar or salt scrub mixed in nourishing oils. I like to exfoliate after I take a shower. Exfoliation increases blood supply which in turn improves circulation. Exfoliating also sloughs off dead dry skin. Pay particular attention to rough areas like the knees, elbows and heels. Your skin should feel silky, smooth and moist after exfoliating, never dry.

Moisturize: Slather up with your favorite natural lotion or body butter.

You skin will feel revitalized and refined after this process. Take Care of Yourself
