We’re in extraordinary instances. Life has made an entire and virtually sudden-180. For the final 2 months, my regular routines have been turned in, in favor of staying-in & staying-safe, however I’ve made lots of modifications and easy changes to attempt to make this new-normal (for the unforeseeable future) work for me.
One of many luxuries I’ve introduced house is a weekly at-home-spa expertise – the place I actually benefit from my hair-washing days and pamper myself just a little extra. I’ll mild some candles, add soothing oils and salts to my bathtub, encompass myself with florals or crops, spend further time on my skincare routine, and soak in my tub with a fluffy bathrobe awaiting me on the opposite aspect.
I do know lots of people are eschewing hair-washing all collectively on this interval of uncertainty, however for me, it makes me really feel extra like myself to do my hair and make-up (albeit, undoubtedly to not the extent I might if I had been going to an occasion). It’s a small ritual for me — massaging my scalp, cleaning my hair, wrapping my hair with conditioner and utilizing the time it soaks in to use a nourishing face masks, and lean into the nice and cozy cocoon of my bathtub, inhaling soothing scents of rosewater — that makes me really feel comforted and extra ready to tackle the day & week.
I’ve been utilizing Pantene Professional-V Nutrient Blends Miracle Moisture Enhance Shampoo & Conditioner with Rose Water, and the scent alone is sufficient to transport me to a different world; it’s impressed by the Center East (my folks, my tradition — rose water is one thing that all the time jogs my memory of my household, of Friday nights at my grandmother’s home, and of the meals we’d eat on particular events). The system consists of rose water, buds, and petals of rose gallica, wealthy in nutritional vitamins B5 and B3. It’s additionally sulfate and paraben free, and made with out mineral oils or dyes, however nonetheless foams right into a wealthy, luxurious lather. The shampoo & conditioner combo leaves my hair feeling moisturized and hydrated, shiny, and silky easy, and the calming scent lingers as I’m going about my day; I’ll catch little whiffs at completely different moments and it’ll take me proper again to that calming, spa-like place. And for what it’s price, my hair feels cleaner, longer, too.
On my non-wash days, I’ll refresh my hair with a spritz of dry shampoo on the roots (particularly at my hairline and the nape of my neck), and my new-found obsession: Pantene Professional-V Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist on the ends of my hair. It rejuvenates my day-2 or day-3 hair with immediate shine and it smoothens, and helps detangle my very thick hair. It’s sulfate and paraben free as nicely, and formulated with Professional-Vitamin B5, Omega 9, and jojoba oil to go away hair feeling and looking wholesome for 24-hours (extending these hair washing days out, child!)
For me, one of the best a part of these merchandise are how they remind me to care for myself and indulge within the elements of my routine that make me really feel like my finest self – no matter whether or not anybody outdoors of my residence goes to see me! It’s one thing I do for me.
