My ‘me’ moment

Experienced men will tell you that all women are different with one common denominator: they’re all crazy. Well, genes and a terrible high-school experience aside, insanity can stem from the lifestyles they lead.

Whether you’re a Desperate Housewife or a would-be It girl, the challenges femmes face can be rough. Juggling soccer schedules can be as crazy as juggling boyfriends, you know! And even being low- maintenance means you still need some maintenance.

We all know that there’s no place like home. And that there is no hand more loving than your own. So discover how you can reward yourself, whether you are a champion mother, a hardworking socialite, a determined career girl or simply a well-deserving, low-maintenance chick!

1)
The Desperate Housewife

You may have given up on gourmet pancakes for breakfast and surrendered to the carnal pleasures of corned beef, but when it comes to your skin, don’t resort to just any can.

The menu:


• Take a long, luxurious shower/bath with Decleor’s Relaxing Bath Gel. Absolute bliss at the end of the day: relaxing every one of your muscles, this light foam gently cleanses your skin, leaving it satiny-smooth.

• Spread the love with Decleor’s Vitaroma Anti-Ageing Body Cream. Your body will feel as if it’s nestled in a delightful cocoon. This silky, rich and delectable cream also combats sagging by stimulating the skin’s vital functions, strengthening tissue cohesion, and smoothing out wrinkles. It coats your skin with a subtle shimmer as well.

Secret tip: Turn the tables on the hubby and let him massage your troubles away (remind him of how long you carried the kids in your womb).

• Pamper those abused hands with Decleor’s Nourishing Comfort Hand Cream. It will keep your hands soft and supple and help fight dark spots.

• For super pampering, try the Decleor Relax Aromassage at Neo Day Spa at the Fort and Greenhills.

2) The Circuit Trainer


Think it’s a shallow life? Well, maybe, but being fab can be a full-time job. It’s a lions pit out there, you know!

The itinerary:


• The fab aromatic duo of Decleor Aromessence Circularome and Circulagel is specifically designed to zap painful swollen feet and legs from too many hours strutting on your stilettos. Give them a new and delightful way to walk on the clouds with this duo that stimulates energy exchange and promotes microcirculation, plus a cooling sensation as well!

• Too many dinner cocktails can send the party girl to the farm! Breathe in the aroma of Decleor Aromessence Contour to trigger the fat breakdown process. Then apply this light, non-greasy, evanescent oil texture using the exclusive Decleor technique. In perfect affinity with the skin, it glides on smoothly to decongest tissues and eliminate toxins. It also prepares the skin for the Expert Contour Treatment.

First, warm up the Aromessence Contour in the palm of your hands. Pause, breathe in, and savor the scent of its essential oils. Apply the cream to your left leg, from your ankle to your buttock. Repeat with the right leg. Slowly massage your abdomen with clockwise motions.

Finish with a smoothing movement over each arm, from the shoulder to the hand.

• Upon application, Decleor Expert Contour’s cocktail of essential oils penetrates the skin, taking with it a lipo-reducing complex of plant extracts to intensify the fat-releasing process. Applying it intensifies the "anti-dimple area" action, activates draining to filter stubborn fatty areas, and helps prevent their return.

• For a more intense detox treatment, try the Decleor Detox Aromassage at Neo Day Spa.

3) The Career Woman


It’s a man’s world out there no matter what you say! The politics, the glass ceiling, the dull outfits can really get a girl down, not to mention delilah!

The strategy:


• Cleanse your face and remove eye make-up all at once with Decleor Cleansing Milk with Essential Oils and Essential Waters. Its refreshing action soothes the skin beautifully while its emollient action leaves the skin perfectly supple.

• Follow with Decleor Tonifying Lotion. This delicate pink alcohol-free toner removes any last traces of make-up while giving a burst of energy to your skin. It decongests, rebalances and soothes the skin.

• Put two to three drops of Decleor Aromessence Neroli on your fingertips and and warm them in the palm of your hand. Breathe in the scent and allow the essential oils to envelop you in well-being. Gently apply to your entire face and massage as follows:

Use your index fingers to trace over your face, pressing lightly yet firmly to stimulate the following points: the inner corner of the eyes, the base of the eyebrows, the outer corners of the eyes, the top and bottom of the cheekbones, and finish on the jaw points at the bottom of the face. End your ritual with a dab of Decleor’s Instant De Beaute to dispel the last traces of fatigue.

For super pampering, try the Decleor Aromaplasty Facial at Neo Day Spa for a more intense glow.

4) The Low-Maintenance Chick


No time for bull? Here’s what you still have to do!

The solution:
The three multi-purpose, quick, and easy-to-use products from Decleor’s Arome Spa Tonic line.

• Take an energizing shower with the 2-in-1 Tonifying and Exfoliating Shower Gel. It gently eliminates impurities, sloughs aways dead skin cells and refines the skin’s texture, leaving it soft and radiant.

• Spray on the Tonifying Milky Mist. Feel an invisible veil slip over your body. This ultra-light, ultra-fresh moisturizing treatment also has energizing and revitalizing notes that wake up your skin in an instant!

• Cap it off with a whiff of Tonifying Body Treatment. This is actually a fragrant body spray that is a tonifying treatment as well.
