It is that time of the year again when we love to spoil the woman who loves us unconditionally. But most of us get confused on how to treat our moms on Mother’s Day and we start thinking what special should I do this year? What gift should I get her? How do I tell her I appreciate her without the help of an impersonal card?
It’s always a challenge to find that perfect gift but this year go the extra mile for your mom and treat her to a luxury spa & salon day. After all she has all the right to feel refreshed and relaxed. Our mums do so much for us so what better way to say thank you with some well deserved pampering and relaxation time. There’s nothing nicer than spending some quality time together, so take an appointment and indulge in some relaxing services. It’s the best way to say thank you!
Let’s get a facial
Facial is the best way to keep one’s skin rejuvenated. A facial can truly benefit the skin, as every facial is tailored to the individual’s skin type. So, what is a facial? Well, it cleanses pores, exfoliates away dead skin cells, and treats common skin concerns with a custom mask. There are many options when it comes to facials like herbal, anti-ageing etc. Let your mom select what kind of facial she wants to go for.
Manis for mums
Dial up the glam factor and take her for a luxurious manicure. It is just the perfect thing for the hands. A typical manicure involves filing and shaping of the fingernails, including pushing back and clipping the cuticles. In addition to massaging, soaking, and moisturizing the hands, a manicure also includes the application of nail polish. There are various types of manis such as basic, French, gel and paraffin manicures. So choose the best one for your favourite woman.
Pampering pedis
A pedicure includes soaks in warm water and massages with oils and lotions that help preserve the moisture and integrity of your feet. Moisturized feet are less likely to get blisters or other foot problems. Exfoliation, or removal of dead skin cells from your feet, especially the heels, encourages new cell growth which creates smoother and more attractive feet. A good foot treatment is heaven, but pedicure techniques can vary from type of polish to massage so it’s important to find the right pedicure for your mom.
Fruity factor
Nowadays people are getting more wary of the effect of chemicals on the skin. So many women are now resorting to using something natural. And what is better than a fruit body scrub. They are excellent exfoliants and help in eliminating free radicals and toxins that cause skin and tissue damage. The best way to slough off dead skin cells is with a fruit body scrub which softens, moisturizes and brightens dull dry skin.
Relaxing massages
A full body massage not only benefits the skin but reduces stress and relieves pain. It involves rubbing and manipulating of muscles, tendons, skin and ligaments. It also removes dead skin cells and encourages tissue regeneration, which may help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Depending on the kind being used, the massage oil may provide moisturizing and other benefits to the skin.
Go the Turkish way
Nothing beats the Turkish Hammam. And it is the best thing for your mum. A traditional Turkish Hammam treatment involves relaxing in a steamy hammam, allowing your pores to open and your skin to soften. Your entire body is then scrubbed down with a loofah, getting rid of lots of dead skin. This is followed by a soap massage and then you are rinsed off with cool water, which helps close your pores. The treatment can be followed by a oil massage if you like.
Tress transformation
We all know that a beautiful hair cut and colour can transform one’s over all look. And our moms usually tend to ignore their hair the most. While going out they will put a little makeup on but will tie their hair in a bun, which doesn’t look flattering at all. This Mother’s Day take your mom for a complete hair makeover. Surely, this will bring a smile on her face and she will feel glamorous as well.
