It can be hard to remember to take time to yourself, especially with all the festivities and fun of this time of year.
Self-care is just as crucial as caring for others, so it's incredibly important to slot this into your busy schedule. It could be a whole pamper day or simply a little hour to yourself in the evening, whatever you can manage. Trust us, it'll be worth it.
We've put together our top tips for the ultimate winter pamper evening, so get planning!
1. Adjust the lighting
Blinding light is not ideal for the relaxed feel we're going for, so get those lights dimmed! If you have a Christmas tree then pop on the lights on there, add a few warm lamps and you're all set!
2. Light a candle
There's nothing more relaxing than being surrounded by your favourite scent. Whether you prefer fresh scents like citrus or cotton, or the sugary sweet festive scents like gingerbread or cinnamon, light a candle or two before you start your pamper to allow time for the aroma to spread.

5. Apply a face mask
Face masks are a must for a pamper evening, and we have a gorgeous range to choose from! It's not always easy to find the time to use a face mask for a long time, so when you get a chance you have to act on it! Why not try our new Perfecting Radiance Resurfacing & Detoxifying Hyaluronic Jelly Mask?
6. Use follow up skincare
Once you've washed off your face mask, take the time to apply some follow-up skincare. Whether you prefer a moisturiser, serum or oil, make sure it isn't too harsh as the ingredients from the mask will still be working on your skin. You'll love our Squalane Anti-Oxidising Day Light Moisturiser.
7. Treat yourself with a few extras
You don't have to stop there with your pamper routine! Why not add a few extra steps that you wouldn't normally have time to do, like maybe a neck mask or a full body treatment.
