Life can get busy and stressful — and sometimes, we forget to take care of ourselves. That’s why Self-Care Sunday has become a cherished ritual for many. It’s the perfect day to unwind, recharge, and treat yourself to a relaxing home beauty routine that nourishes your skin, body, and mind.
Here’s how to turn your Sunday into a mini spa day — right at home.
1. Set the Mood
Before you begin, create a calming atmosphere.
- Light your favorite scented candle or use essential oils like lavender or chamomile.
- Play soft music or nature sounds to relax your mind.
- Dim the lights or use natural light for a peaceful vibe.
💖 Tip: Switch your phone to “Do Not Disturb” — this is your time!
2. Start with a Cleansing Ritual
Begin your self-care session by cleansing away the week’s stress.
- Take a warm shower or bath with aromatic bath salts or bubbles.
