Do you feel like you're living life in the fast lane and constantly stressed? Do you dream of a massage every night, but your other half always has better things to do? No problem!
PAYOT shares with you 4 ideas for simple gestures you can perform yourself to relax your body and, consequently, your mind. In just a few movements, and from head to toe, calm and sensuality are yours!
Exfoliation in the shower
Is exfoliating in the shower a ritual you commit to purely for beauty? Make it a moment of true relaxation! The relaxing action of hot water is a great way to relieve the day's tensions. Combined with a gentle body scrub, using more or less invigorating circular movements, this moment will help you regain your zen attitude for special days.
Choose a treatment with a soothing scent, like the Relaxing Sugar Scrub, and exfoliate your entire body, focusing on each of your movements. By truly paying attention to your movements, you'll focus on your well-being, for a 100% relaxing result.
Hydrating massage
Don't stop there, and take advantage of the moisture of the water on your skin after your shower to apply a moisturizing and nourishing treatment. The idea isn't to absentmindedly slather on every square inch of your body, but to take pleasure in doing yourself some good. To do this, start a mindful massage of your body using gentle gestures and light strokes. Through a succession of long, fluid and harmonious movements, you will live more in the present moment, promising deep relaxation for your body and mind.
Scalp care
Do you love having your hair touched? Then this exercise should help you relax in record time. The best part is, you can do it just about anywhere, without needing a shower or contorting yourself. Take your hair down and use your fingertips to make circular movements on your scalp, without pulling or straining.
For added fluidity and a 2-in-1 effect, you can use a hair oil to nourish your scalp. Apply the oil all over your head to maximize the relaxing benefits of this beauty treatment.
Hand massage
Without us really realizing it, we put a lot of strain on our hands throughout the day. They deserve a little pampering! In this case, hand massage is an ideal beauty gesture for relaxing because it is a very sensitive part of our body, which contains thousands of nerve endings. Without going into ultra-sophisticated techniques, you simply need to carefully knead the palm of your hand with your thumb. Also think about your fingers, either by applying light pressure or by lightly stroking them. Finally, don't forget to relieve the muscles in your forearm, which are often tense after a day of work, with firm movements.
A beauty routine you can practice as much as you like and anywhere, including at the office! For the ultimate moment of relaxation, use a moisturizing treatment like the Douceur des Mains cream, with its comforting texture.
