Every girl knows how exhausting life can be sometimes. During those stressful days, the best way to cope is with a totally awesome self-care night, but make it really chic. Here are some essentials that will have you feeling relaxed, refreshed, and fabulous.
5 – Face Masks
Seriously, what kind of self-care night could be considered complete without our beloved face masks? They’re like, the most characteristic self-care item ever. Be it purchased or homemade, these will take your evening from relaxing to fabulous. Plus, your skin will look amazing afterward.
The coolest part is the variety you’ll find. Pharmacies and beauty stores have endless options in different colors, purposes, scents, and textures, so you’re covered no matter your needs. Feeling creative? Try making your own using ingredients such as avocado, egg whites, honey, cucumbers, or even oatmeal — all believed to have skin benefits. And if you want to take it up a notch, apply a hair mask at the same time. Talk about multitasking!
4 – Turning Off Your Cell Phone
Social media can often be draining. To truly achieve the utmost relaxation, you’ve got to unplug. That way you won’t be checking for notifications every five minutes, and you can focus on the whole point of the night: yourself. Don’t be afraid of that “do-not-disturb” button. In fact, challenge yourself to use it regularly, but especially on these nights.
3 – Journaling
Nothing screams social detox like purging all your repressed thoughts and feelings onto paper. It’s a must if you want to truly cleanse yourself from the everyday chaos. If you can’t truly commit to the laborious task of regular journaling [same], then at least make it part of your self-care nights. Grab a notebook and a pen, and don’t hold back, you can write down anything you wouldn’t dare say out loud, or even the silliest thoughts running through your head. After all, it’s a secret.
2 – Pajamas
Ok, we’ve reached the absolute must-have department. The goal for tonight is comfy-but-fab, enter the essential matching pajama set. And yes, it has to match, that’s how you maximize chicness.
You can never go wrong with cotton, satin, or the beloved (but very expensive) silk. For an extra sensory treat, make sure your sheets and pillowcases are freshly washed. Bonus points if they’re satin — your hair and skin will thank you, and it feels oh-so-soft.
1 – Entertainment
What’s the point of a self-care night if not to unwind and forget your worries? The best way to do that is by diving into the perfectly unreal world of fiction.
You can go one of two routes: if you’re feeling intellectual, pick up a novel [you’re so cultured, by the way]. If that doesn’t sound appealing, go with the old reliable: movies. To enhance the experience, go with early 2000s chick flicks or rom-coms, they’re the perfect mix of escapism, humor and fabulousness. Ideal for a chic relaxing session.
And there you have it! Now that you’ve got the perfect lineup for a superbly chic self-care night, what are you waiting for?
