Self-care + beauty routines help to make you more confident, release stress and feel more beautiful. This is no wonder many people love a good pamper session. I always try to fit in at least one self-care evening a week – usually happens on a Friday or Sunday. It includes a good face steaming, my favorite mask, and a steep in the tub with Epsom salt + essential oils. The Epsom salt helps with pain relief, soothes tired muscles, detoxifies the body, and softens the skin. My go-to essential oil combo is peppermint + frankincense. Together, it literally melts all of my worries from the day away and I fall asleep so quickly afterward.
Here are a few essential oil kits I recommend:
Here are some of my must-have home essentials for a beauty junkie like myself!!
SHOP THESE ITEMS
- Travel makeup brush holder – is such a neat invention as it keeps your brushes protected + doubles as a brush holder and stands up on its own.
- Eco Tan remover mitt – I never believed anything could remove fake tan off your skin. This does the trick and also gives your skin a gentle exfoliation.
- Heated eyelash curler – For someone born with board straight lashes, this little thing helps a lot!! It a no-brainer and works like a charm – lashes stay curled all day.
- Makeup brush cleaner – the BEST on the market hands down!! It cleans your brushes with ease and also disinfects them from bacteria or any gross residue.
- Organizer caddy – can be displayed nicely under the sink or on top of your vanity. Either way, it provides so much storage in an organized fashion. A definite must-have!!
- Gua Sha stone – this is great especially in the mornings when your face is most puffy. This stone helps to smooth out the skin and drain in any extra fluids reducing puffiness + improves blood circulation. I keep mine in the fridge which makes me wake up and feels so refreshing.
- Facial steamer – with just a little water and a few drops of essential oil you have a spa in your home. It steams so well and opens your pores so you can clean your pores or exfoliate your face. I love mine and it is such a great value.
- LapCos Korean sheet mask – these come in a variety to choose from, Hydration, Aloe, Honey, Milk, etc…My favorite is the Escargot! I try to focus on anti-aging products the most. This helps to restore + repair my skin from any damage. It leaves my skin feeling plump + so youthful – highly recommend.
- Hair towel wrap – this is made with 100% real cotton. I always prefer cotton over microfiber – microfiber doesn’t really help to dry your hair in my opinion. The cotton helps to absorb all the water and still keeps your hair frizz/damage free. Also comes in various colors.
