Self-Care Rituals for a Cosy October Night In
With the chill in the air, October brings the perfect excuse to stay in, unwind, and treat yourself to a night of self-care. It’s the ideal way to relax and escape the everyday. Here’s a guide to making the most of a cosy October evening indoors, because you deserve to be pampered!
Set the Mood for Relaxation: Start by creating an inviting atmosphere. Dim the lights, light a few scented candles (we love anything by Iconesse), and maybe add a few twinkle lights to enhance the glow. You’ll feel more at ease as soon as you step into this calm and cosy space.
Start with a Luxurious Bath Soak: A warm bath is the ultimate relaxation ritual. Add some bath salts with soothing lavender or eucalyptus to relax your muscles and clear your mind. A nourishing bath oil or a creamy bath bomb can leave your skin hydrated and soft, setting the tone for the night ahead. Relax in a bath filled with essential oil infused water and watch your tan dissolve before your eyes with the Lusso Tan Bath Bomb Original. This innovative bath bomb removes all traces of tan while giving your skin some TLC. Our range of bath and body products are ideal for the ultimate bath or shower experience. Wonderfully scented and oh-so nourishing, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for at Strala.
Treat Yourself to an At-Home Facial: An October night in is the perfect time to give your skin a little TLC. Start with an exfoliator to refresh your complexion, then apply a hydrating face mask with ingredients that will help restore your skin and help it stay resilient in the cooler weather. Follow up with your favourite serum and moisturiser for that dewy, autumn glow. Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is an ultra-nourishing moisturiser that restores lipid balance to dry, depleted skin for optimal barrier performance. It’s ideal for this routine!
Give yourself an at-home manicure or pedicure: Take your self-care a step further with an at-home manicure or pedicure. Begin with a nourishing hand or foot soak, then shape and buff your nails. Try a seasonal nail colour like rich burgundy or warm caramel to match the autumn vibe. Finish with a top coat for that salon-worthy shine.
Wrap Up in Cosy Layers: Slip into your comfiest loungewear or pajamas and throw on a big, warm blanket. Being bundled up in soft layers makes everything feel better, especially if you add some fuzzy socks into the mix. The key is comfort—and maybe just a hint of luxe!
Dive Into a Feel-Good Book or Movie: Now that you’re in full relaxation mode, it’s time to unwind with a favourite book or movie. Go for something nostalgic, like a feel-good romance, a mystery novel, or a classic film that brings you joy.
This October, treat yourself to a night in filled with relaxation and indulgence. These small rituals can help you unwind, recharge, and fully enjoy the beauty of the autumn season! For all the skincare supplies you need to complement your fabulous night in, look no further than Strala Beauty.
