Tuesday Ten: How to develop a consistent pamper and self-care routine:

1. Set out time in your week dedicated to pampering and taking care of yourself; whether it’s half a day or a few hours or maybe you can assign a whole day to it. This time will consist of body scrubs, face masks, oiling, pampering your feet and nails and this is all aimed to really do a deep cleanse leaving your skin in supple condition and getting you ready for the week ahead.                                                                                                                                                             
2. Reflection time- Do an evaluation of your whole body, what your skin likes and dislikes, what are some of the skin problems that you need to resolve. Also there may be some areas that you have neglected whether it is your teeth, skin, hair removal routine etc. be an expert in your body, skin and self.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
3. Figure out the self-care that you are going to pay for and get done in a salon and the ones that you are going to do yourself.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
4. Do not overlook things like going to the doctors, dentist, opticians these are very important especially to check up on your overall health. Ideally you should be having check-ups every 6 months.                                                                                                                                             
5. Research the products that you are going to need for your pamper sessions.                                                                                                                                                                                           
6. Make sure that you research the brands that you want to invest in, here's a guide on how to do so.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
7. Go ahead and buy all the products you are going to need.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
8. Planning and preparation is vital, so decide what treatments you are going to do on that day. Also decide on your facial cleansing routine for the week too. Whether you are going to do certain masks on certain days or use different cleansers on different days make sure you make a note of this and most importantly stick to what you have decided.                                                                                                                                                                                                           
9. Remember that success is the by-product of consistency, so if you want your skin to be a certain way don't focus on the results but on actually making sure that you are doing what you need to do and that you're doing it well!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
10. Remember that routines and consistency is about regular small steps, small changes can make big difference down the line. Take care of your self while you still can!
