Sometimes, after a long while of working a 9-5 in the cold weather, what you really need is an indulgent beauty treatment to make you feel fresh, confident and energised for the Christmas festivities ahead. Buying yourself a beauty treatment is a great form of self-care, so if you feel like you need that extra boost of confidence, indulge in a beauty treatment this winter.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a great way to rejuvenate your skin. If you’ve found yourself looking in the mirror, thinking your skin looks tired and dull this winter, microneedling might be the perfect treatment to revive your skin and leave you looking fresh and dewy for the upcoming festivities. Microneedling works by puncturing tiny holes in your skin with miniature, sterile needles. These holes cause your skin to start resurfacing and producing more collagen, an essential ingredient for youthful looking skin. Microneedling, although a fairly new skincare treatment, is now widely available at a number of clinics. If you’re ever in London, consider visiting Dr Liesel Holler’s beauty clinic Bromley for a chance to walk out with fresher, more even and younger looking skin.
A Hair Mask
There’s nothing like a good hair mask to relax you and give you stunning, noticeable results at home without breaking the bank. Hair masks work on the hair in a similar way to how face masks work on the skin – they provide a nourishing, hydrating treatment that penetrates deep into each individual hair, causing your locks to look both revived and conditioned. The benefits of hair masks include shinier hair, added moisture, reduction of frizz, breakage and damage, a healthier scalp and overall stronger hair. Hair masks are an amazing treatment that can be done in the comfort of your own bathroom – simply buy a good quality hair mask and you’re good to go! If you’re feeling extra crafty and want to make an at home face mask, ingredients like bananas, eggs, olive oil, coconut oil, aloe vera and honey all work amazingly on hair.
Dry Brushing
Dry brushing is a great way to revive dull skin throughout the winter season. The mechanical action of dry brushing helps to physically exfoliate dead skin cells, and also helps with detoxification through increasing blood flow to the skin and aiding lymphatic drainage. Dry brushing helps with good circulation and, when done correctly, can leave you feeling energised afterwards. Dry brushing, like hair masks, can be done from the comfort of your own home, so invest in a good dry brush and you’re good to go! Dry brushing should be done about one to two times a week for optimum results.
The winter months can often leave our skin feeling dull and dry and our hair feeling lifeless and lacklustre. Whether you go for a resurfacing treatment such as microneedling, or a relaxing home procedure like a hair mask or dry brushing, you’ll be sure to feel both revived and confident and ready to tackle the upcoming months head on!
