It’s all about wellness these days: taking care of oneself, pampering, and care routines are fast becoming necessities we can’t live without.
But of course, not all self-care is created equal. Skincare and body care have taken over the chat and are fast becoming statements. Being in the know when it comes to the latest self-care routines is the new cool kids’ obsession. Trends come and go in the self-care industry, like they do in the fashion or beauty worlds, with simplicity replacing the OTT routines of yore (read a couple years ago, these trends move fast). No longer required to follow dozens of different steps each day, the focus has moved on to simple products that elevate your everyday and make your life both simpler and more luxurious at the same time. And obviously, we’re sold.
Follow your nose
When it comes to finding your new simplified self-care routine, we highly recommend you follow your nose. Gone are the heavy perfumes that make fellow train commuters choke on their morning coffees: subtlety is luxury.
Smelling good will always be on trend, so we’re not suggesting you forgo fragrances. In fact, we’re suggesting you go for a long-lasting option: the scented body cream.
Moisturising is one of these non-negotiable steps in everyday care, alongside taking a shower and using deodorant. It’s not necessarily the sexiest of steps, and yet, it could be. When it comes to embracing a simpler self-care routine, looking at the things you already do without thinking and finding ways to elevate them should always be the first step.
So back to our scented body cream. It’s a moisturiser, so it’ll do the job, but it will also transform your entire routine by making you smell divine. You can choose to use a scented body cream as an under-layer for your favourite fragrance, or it can replace your perfume entirely.
Have a look at this scented body cream selection and delve into the endless options. We’re sure you’ll find a scented body cream that will work for your skin and your nose both.
Luxury is in textures
Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated. Your self-care routine should feel simple enough that you commit to it in the long run. An easy way to elevate your everyday without having to spend over an hour on pampering is to swap some of your products for more luxurious ones.
And no, we’re not saying you need to spend tons of money. Swapping your run of the mill moisturiser for a scented one is an easy step, and so is embracing textures when it comes to your body wash.
Remember the “we have to do it” steps we talked about earlier? This is about the shower part.
Move away from skin-drying gels and find the best luxuriously milky body wash
for you. You’ve just elevated your routine in a simple and effective way. If you have sensitive or dry skin, this is one swap you should have made long ago. But even if your skin is naturally perfect (lucky you!), a bath milk is always going to feel more pampering than a shower gel. It’s even in the name! Baths milks trump shower gels every day. Find your perfect new milky friend among this selection of bath milks and transform your ordinary shower into a pampering experience.
Focus on the bathroom shelf
While wellness is all about the self, it’s also the new fashion, so aesthetics come into play. Remember when everyone was posting pictures of their bookshelves during the pandemic? We’ve moved on to the bathroom shelf!
Elevating your daily self-care routine involves all your senses, your nose, your touch, and of course, your eyes. An array of beautifully packaged products will make you want to treat yourself to some much-needed self-care. Bathroom aesthetics is a thing and it all starts with beautiful bottles, neutral tones and that spa look we used to pay hundreds to experience for a couple hours.
Turning your bathroom into a mini spa is one way to ensure your daily life is as luxurious as possible, without breaking the bank.
Luxury used to be bold and loud, but it’s shifted to something simpler, more understated, and more manageable to fit into your day-to-day life. Swapping your old moisturiser for a scented body cream and your shower gel for a bath milk are small affordable steps you can take to elevate your everyday.
Small luxuries add up and engage all your senses to deliver big on self-care, wellness, and a more enjoyable life.
