Moms Love A Day At The Salon

As a working woman and mother, it is quite easy for me to put myself and my needs last. However, I try to give myself some time every month to pamper myself. These days I spend in a beauty salon in Doncaster area, splurging on one of their packages.  

I tried their packages for the first time after I received a voucher as a Mother’s Day gift and since then, I was hooked. Every single day, I have to work hard at the office and then spend time with my family afterward. All of the stress, however, disappears after a well-spent day at the salon.  

Here are the normal treatments included in their packages: 

Manicure And Pedicure 

Even mothers love having painted nails, and there is nothing I love more than having someone take care of my hands and nails. In fact, they are very grateful for it after all those dishwashing, doing the laundry, and all the other chores I have to do every day. Having a manicure and pedicure remains to be one of my guilty pleasures, and I am eager to indulge myself to keep my hands soft and beautiful.  

In fact, it is beyond just getting them painted, as a professional pedicure is a full foot treatment that removes that dry, cracked and calloused skin on the heels and feet. I enjoy having super soft feet like a baby afterward. 

Facial Treatment 

Stress can really make skin look old, but a facial always makes me look fresh, young and glowing. There are different kinds of facials offered at my favorite salon, but the basic thing about the facial is to do a deep clean of your skin. Every day, our skin is exposed to pollution, dirt, and make-up. These clog the pores and the facial will clear them. Afterward, the facial will exfoliate and moisturize the skin with the use of special serums and gels. 

There are other facials that use anti-aging serums, which work on stimulating the inactive skin cells and heal the skin. You can see reduced wrinkles and fine lines and leaves you with a radiant glow.  

Of course, the best part of the whole treatment is when they massage the face, neck, and shoulders, allowing me to unwind fully from all the day-to-day stress of work and family life.

Body Massage 

A day at the salon is never complete without a full body massage. After all, when I want to truly destress, this is the best way to do it in one hour. In fact, after the experience, I always feel rejuvenated and full of energy again.  

For a different experience, there is also an aroma massage that uses mineral sea salt to improve circulation. I also tried out a full body wrap which uses plant extracts, before I was wrapped in a heated blanket to let the mask work. Beyond just feeling relaxed and renewed, my skin also felt fresh and tingly.  

Other Treatments 

Beyond my usual relaxing package, I also spend my time at the salon getting a wax. I always prefer going for professional hair removal instead of doing it at home, because they are the best at it. Beyond that, my favorite salon takes a lot of steps to do the procedure in the most sanitized way possible. In fact, they were the first to implement the no double dip policy, meaning a new wax stick is used for every application. Customers also receive disposable underwear when they are getting waxed in intimate areas.  

Another treatment I indulge in especially during the colder months of the year is getting a spray tan. This procedure takes only a fraction of a time compared to spending hours staying under the sun, and this is why it is perfect for busy women like me. But thanks to this spray tan treatment, I get to keep my tan even when the temperatures outside have dropped. 

Pampering Yourself Is Important 

If there is one thing that I believe in, it is that by keeping myself pampered and healthy helps me become the best woman and mother I can be. This is the reason why I take the time regularly to visit my favorite salon and enjoy their packages. Because I am a regular customer there, they take extra great care of me and this is the reason why I keep coming back for their wonderful and personal service.
