Beauty treatments that you can do at home in less than 20 minutes

Many times I don't have time to take care of myself as much as I would like. The same thing happens to you? ¿ Your hair is quite dry but you could not even go to the hairdresser? Your skin is dull but you don't have time to go to a cabin treatment? I understand you very well. I always have work and a thousand other important things to do … For that reason, and "thanks" to my quarantine, I have perfected the art of taking care of myself at home and I have spent a couple of months focused on my skin and my hair.

So I have decided to share with you my favorite beauty solutions , perfect for women in a hurry and without time –or wanting–, but who want to take care of themselves. It's not that they are new treatments - I'm sure more than one you already do - but hey, I've taken advantage of these days to put my beauty routine in order and take care of myself again, so I can't be happier. Exfoliate the skin, facial massage, trend manicure, apply a mask more than once a month … Read on!

1. Facial exfoliation

This treatment is used to remove dead skin cells and provide extra softness and luminosity. To do this, the skin has to be clean and without a trace of makeup so first of all, do a good facial.

Apply the scrub on dry skin - unless the instructions for use say that you should moisten the face - avoiding the eye contour. Massage the skin with your fingertips but don't overdo it. Rinse your face and go! It is very important to choose the product that best suits your skin type.

We stayed with this Olehenriksen scrub , since, thanks to the glycolic acid and the double action of hot-cold - calm, it is a very pleasant sensation -, it reduces pores, absorbs excess oil and leaves the skin super clean and radiant.

2. The "mask" moment

No, for once we are not talking about hygienic or surgical masks but about face masks.

If you want to boast of a more uniform and smooth skin , in addition to cleaning it in depth, you should bet on a specific mask for your skin type. If you want, you can apply it after the scrub (this will enhance its effect) or directly after cleaning the skin with your favorite product. Look for products that remove dirt from pores and minimize their size.

Have you tried this Kiehl's white clay mask ? It is one of the best-selling products of the brand and it is worth investing in it because it cleans very well and does not irritate or dry the skin. In addition, it contains aloe vera so it also hydrates our face.

By the way, do you know what multimasking is?

3. Summer manicure

To start, record all the manicure trends and choose the one you like the most. Yes, it is possible to do a manicure like a professional at home and without suffering.

Here we leave you a Sephora kit with two products that will prolong the life of your favorite nail polishes and some nail polish remover wipes for touch-ups.

4. Deeply hydrates hair

Do you see that your hair is more dry and dehydrated? Bet on a hair mask that deeply nourishes it. After shampooing, remove excess water with a towel and apply a nut of the product from middles to ends (do not apply it to the roots to avoid weighing it down). Next, massage the hair in the direction of growth, let the mask act for about 20 minutes and rinse the hair until the product is completely removed.

We love this restorative mask from The Body Shop. It contains shea butter, a product that deeply nourishes the hair and makes the hair look healthier and less frizzy.

5. Facial massage

Get a facial massage with the famous jade roller. It promotes drainage, reduces puffiness under the eyes, facilitates the elimination of toxins and increases blood circulation. To enhance its effects, apply before a facial serum or an oil.

Apply gentle pressure, always towards the ears (first, towards the ears and then towards the sides of the neck), and in the same direction! An advice? If you keep it in the fridge, you will also enhance its benefits and now that the heat is here, what a pleasant sensation if we use it cool! Here's one, in case you don't have this beauty tool yet.

Take your time and don't do your massage in a rush. You don't have to spend half an hour, but spend at least 5 minutes.

6. Body scrub

The objective of body exfoliation is to eliminate dead cells to enhance the care that is applied next, in addition to leaving the skin soft and smooth. The perfect place is the shower to be able to apply it and then rinse it comfortably. To stimulate circulation and promote drainage, massage the product in circular motions. You can use it two or three times a week. At the end, apply a moisturizer and show off flawless skin!

This Rituals product not only exfoliates but also nourishes and revitalizes the skin. Plus, it smells great! Best of all, it also helps to prolong the duration of your tan. Can you ask for more?

7. Wine therapy: spa at home!

According to the experts at Alexandra Arraez , wine therapy is one of the best weapons against skin aging, as it prevents the breakdown of skin fibers, thus keeping the skin smooth and rigid. It also detoxifies it and helps to regenerate it and delays skin aging, since it neutralizes the free radicals that cause aging.

Fill the tub with hot water, add a bottle of red wine, and soak in. Relax for about 20 minutes (or more) and rinse your body with a gentle shower. If you want, add flower petals, a splash of your favorite perfume, light incense and surround your bathtub with candles. Turn off the light, put on your favorite music and disconnect from the world! Good wine therapy sessions will act as relaxing, rejuvenating, toning and reducing. Can you ask for more?

Ah! You don't need to take out a bottle that you have in storage for special occasions. An inexpensive wine will be more than enough. Take a look at these tips to turn your home into a spa.
