If there’s ever been a year that justified the idea of “treat yo’ self” it’s 2020. Make time and take time to not only buy yourself a gift but relax and enjoy it. Spoil yourself, someone has to.
DO invest in products that work for your skin
It’s no secret that winter weather can be hard on your skin and it’s common to see chapped lips, dry skin, and cracked heels this time of year. But the skin you’re in is unique, and it’s important to pick products that work for you. Chat with a skincare expert at The Body Shop and look for natural, nourishing ingredients. Want to sample a few different things at once? Look for travel-size products and stocking stuffer sets that include a variety of items before you purchase a full-sized version.
DON’T overwhelm the senses
We know there are so many great smelling products—from lotions and soaps to scented candles and diffusers—but picking too main fragrances can not only make it hard to tell what it is you’re smelling it can also lead to headaches and trigger allergies. Instead, pick a single scent you love and enjoy! Psst, needing some extra relaxation? Lavender, chamomile, and bergamot are known for their soothing and relaxing properties. But we wouldn’t blame you if you prefer something that smells like apple cinnamon or sugar cookies, too. Head to Bath & Body Works for all your fragrance needs.
DO leave some things to the pros
Have you ever heard the expression, “if it was that easy everyone would do it?” it applies to pampering and beauty services, too. While a home pedicure can be a quick pick me up and press on nails from the drug store can be cost-effective, treating yourself to professional services like a manicure, pedicure, facial, or massage means you get the benefit of professional expertise. A professional at ToeToSoul Relax Lounge will use the right products for you and can make personalized recommendations, too.
DON’T worry if you don’t know what you want
We all know someone difficult to buy for and sometimes that someone is yourself. If you can’t decide exactly what you want, get yourself a Willowbrook gift card. Purchasing a gift card reserves a set amount towards your pampering that you can use later and prevents you from coming up with excuses or worrying about the cost. It’s already covered!
Whether you find something small to brighten your day or splurge on a head to toe spa day, don’t leave yourself off your holiday shopping list this season.
