Host a Spa Day at Home to Celebrate Friendship with Your BFFs
What better occasion than a free weekend to celebrate friendship with your besties? We believe it’s essential to support and encourage other women around you, to honor your close friendships, and to have a day (or a few hours) of fun together. The possibilities are endless, but if you’re inspired to host a low-key party, invite your favorite girlfriends over for an at-home spa day.
Get in your comfy PJ’s, drink something bubbly, and relax with a simple skincare sesh. Here are three skincare steps that you and your ladies can do together, including applying a natural face mask, then a hydrating face serum, and finishing with some jade rolling.
Face Mask Detox
The ritual of mixing a well-formulated natural face mask powder with a splash of water to make your perfect paste consistency is a satisfying experience by itself. What’s even better is how radiant your skin looks after you rinse it off. An effective face mask will gently exfoliate and detox your skin so that it looks balanced, clear, and smooth. Look for ingredients that pull out toxins and impurities, such as kaolin clay and rice powder. When paired with soothing antioxidant-rich rosehip and chamomile, and you have a lovely natural face mask.
Facial Serum Hydration
After you and your friends bask in the glow of your freshly cleansed skin, it’s time to add a serum layer. Serums penetrate more deeply when applied right after cleansing. A potent botanical-based serum is a worthy step in your beauty routine because the best ones contain beneficial vitamins packed with antioxidants to smooth fine lines, brighten skin’s tone, and improve hydration.
Choose a luxurious serum packed with skin-beneficial ingredients, such as hibiscus extract—known as the “Botox” plant—and the ever-popular hyaluronic acid to help your skin retain moisture. After your skin is dry, it’s time to jade roll!
Jade Rolling Magic
Jade rollers are hot right now—and for good reason. For those not familiar, a jade roller is a facial massage tool made from the pretty jade stone. Rolling the cool, smooth stone over your skin feels relaxing and soothing. If rejuvenating your skin and relaxing isn’t incentive enough, jade rolling can also promote blood circulation in the face, which can help refresh and brighten your complexion. Another benefit of jade rolling is it may help your skin absorb face serum or oil more effectively. Roll your way to a relaxing day with your besties. Be sure to research how to jade roll because it matters which direction you roll. Even though the jade stone is naturally cool to the touch, some people store their jade rollers in the fridge to accentuate the effects of the facial massage.
However you end up spending time with your best friends, enjoy each other’s company and acknowledge how lucky you all are to have such good friends in your life!
