The author, a busy mom, shares her pamper routine, which she hasn't had time for since becoming a mother. She starts with a hair care routine, using a clarifying shampoo, followed by an Olaplex treatment, and then washing and conditioning her hair with a high-end shampoo and conditioner.
Next, she moves on to body care, using a heavy-duty body soap, followed by a chemical exfoliant, and then an exfoliating mitt to remove dead skin cells. She applies almond oil in the shower to lock in moisture and then applies shea butter after her shower to keep her skin smooth and hydrated.
The author then focuses on facial care, washing her face twice, waxing her upper lip, shaving her face to remove hair and improve skin texture, and then applying a retinol serum and a rich face cream.
Finally, she does a hair blowout using a Dyson air wrap and velcro rollers, applying a heat protectant and smoothing brush to remove frizz and add shine to her hair. Throughout the routine, she emphasizes the importance of self-care and finding time to pamper oneself, even if it's just for a few minutes a day.
