How to give yourself the ultimate spa body treatment at home

Most of us have stepped up our skincare game when it comes to our complexion, but we often neglect the skin on our body – at least until summer hits. Don’t forget to treat your body to some self-love and pampering. A weekly at-home spa experience is also the perfect way to create a moment of calm and clarity at a time when anxieties can be high.

1. Set the ambience

Get into the pampering mood with a luxurious scented candle – we can’t get enough of the Anam Cara collection. Next, add some relaxing music to suit your vibe, whether it’s jazz, meditation music, classical or some chilled out 90s tunes.

2. Cleanse and exfoliate

Enjoy a warm bath or shower and massage in the luxurious GINGER&ME Sugar Body Polish to slough off dead skin cells. Our skin cells renew on a daily basis, and if we don’t remove these dead cells, our skin can appear dull, rough and even start to peel. This sugar scrub is a natural humectant as well as an exfoliator, and contains the ultra-nurturing Kakadu Plum Oil for smooth, radiant skin.

3. Treat your feet

Dry, cracked feet? After soaking your feet in warm water, put your feet into the GINGER&ME 7-Day Exfoliating Foot Socks. Leave on for 90 minutes (while you complete the rest of your body care routine and relax with a book or TV show), and allow the fruit acids to gently remove dead skin, which will peel away over the next 7 days. You’ll reveal smooth, beautiful feet just in time for spring sandals.

4. Hydrate and nourish

Dry, cooler weather from winter combined with indoor heating and hot showers equals dry, dehydrated skin. If you haven’t been moisturising often, try something rich and extra nourishing such as the GINGER&ME Bath & Body Oil or Body Butter, both full of a generous blend of rich oils and therapeutic Australian essences to deeply hydrate your skin.

5. Get a faux golden glow

Winter can leave us with a dull, lifeless complexion when compared with our healthy summer glow. Add some true-to-life bronzing with the long-lasting SELF Tan by O COSMEDICS. SELF Tan is focused on natural, cruelty-free ingredients and providing an impeccable tan without streaks, stickiness or orange tones. It’s also infused with botanical oils and nourishing plant extracts.
