The self-care movement has really blown up in the past few years. People are starting to recognize the value in prioritizing themselves and taking the time to do the things that make them happy. Making time for the things that make us feel good can have a domino effect across all areas of our lives, from work to relationships and everything in between.

While self-care can look different for everyone, there are many standard practices that float around the wellness space. If you're tired of facemasks, bath bombs, and painting your nails, here are a few more luxurious treatments you should try out to help you prioritize self-care. 

1. Laser Skin Treatment

If you're big into skincare, you may be interested in trying out a laser skin treatment. Lasers like Clear + Brilliant treatment help rejuvenate your skin to give you a radiant glow and younger-looking skin. Lasers can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores while also improving the skin's tone, texture, and overall appearance.

One of the best things about laser treatment is that it requires little to no downtime, and the treatment only takes about 15-20 minutes. Topical numbing cream is often applied to the face before treatment, making the treatment comfortable and gentle. Results can be seen after only one treatment but will be more drastic if you buy a treatment package. 

2. Lymphatic Drainage Massage

You've probably gotten a massage at some point in your life, but have you ever had a lymphatic drainage massage? This massage involves heavier pressure and a faster rhythm than your average massage in order to increase blood flow and reduce fluid build-up that can lead to swelling. A lymphatic drainage massage will leave you looking tighter, more toned, and more contoured. It can also help with various issues such as fatigue, insomnia, stress, and digestive problems. 

3. Blowout

Going to the salon is a great way of refreshing your look and taking some time for yourself, but most people only go every few months. So, what can you do in the time between your cuts to give you that salon experience? Get a blowout! 

You don't need a special occasion to show your hair some extra love. Getting a blowout can be extremely relaxing and will leave you with that fresh out of the salon look that everyone loves. It can also be a great time saver as blowouts will typically last much longer than doing your hair yourself does. 

4. Lash Lift 

If you aren't ready to commit to the upkeep of lash extensions but still want to do something to brighten up your eyes, try a lash lift! This low-maintenance option curls your lashes, making them look longer and fuller. After the treatment, you can either leave the lashes as is or coat them in your favourite mascara. You should avoid mascara for around 48 hours after getting the treatment for the best results. The results from a lash lift can last anywhere from four to six weeks.
