Hello everyone.
Sleeping comfortably is a must if we want to preserve our beauty and health.
Exercises and a good diet are not the only things you should care about your well-being.
All the cosmetics in the world won't make a difference if you lack of sleep.

While you sleep, the body produces collagen, a protein that keeps the skin elastic, so after a good night sleeping you will look younger, or at least the aging process it's slowed.
The body also rehydrates itself, so the dark circles, puffiness around the eyes and fine lines/wrinkles appear less visible when you wake up.
Throughout the day your skin is exposed to the stress of UV light rays and pollution. During the night the environment changes to a more relaxing place, where those threats are absent, so the skin has the time and chance to heal itself, allowing the supply of oxigen to the cells.
If you want to take the best of your sleep you should follow some important expedients:
- Sleep 7-9 hours per night;
- Loosen up your hair, don't keep them tighten, they will become thin and the follicles will be stressed up, causing a little pain on your head when you wake up;
- Always wash your face before going to bed, the pores will absorb the "bad stuff" you accumulated during the day such as pollution and make up, breaking up into acne and rosacea the next day;
Life got you down? A temporary reprieve may be closer than you think.
If you'd like to forget your worries for a single day, here are five reasons why you should pamper yourself with a spa visit.

1: Stress Relief
Self-indulgence, of course, is the #1 reason you go to a spa.
But did you know the results are physical as well as psychological?
Relaxation actually releases pleasure chemicals in the brain.
2: Real Health Benefits
Massages stimulate circulation. Hot tubs relieve joint and muscle pain.
You can also join wellness classes specifically devoted to better health, like yoga, pilates, etcetera.
3: Deeper Sleep
Studies from both Germany and Japan have revealed that regular spa treatments help their visitors sleep longer and feel better-rested upon waking.
If you've been struggling with insomnia or fatigue, a day at the spa may be just what the doctor ordered.

4: Better Skin
Even if you don't sign up for facials, mud masks or exfoliating treatments, a healthy mind and well-pampered body will show itself in the clearing of your skin.
You'll look ten years younger without an ounce of Botox!
5: A Brighter Outlook
Molehills become mountains when you're anxious and overworked.
When you step back from your troubles, however, and let yourself enjoy things like milk baths and manicures, you'll find it much easier to face the day no matter what obstacles get thrown your way.
There's nothing like a day at the spa to recharge your batteries. If you're ready to turn things around, visit GigiSalonSpa.com or another professional pampering site to help you unwind.
Enjoy your relax.

My dearest followers,
You can't go to the spa everyday, but there is no reason you can't bring elements of the spa into your everyday life.
The following DIY spa retreat tips for home will help you relax and recover from the stress of daily life without leaving home.
Warm Your Lotion
Spas don't smear cold lotion all over your body, and you shouldn't do that to your body either.
Set your body lotion on top of a heating vent before you get into the shower or tub. When it is time to apply the lotion, it will glide over your skin with warmth.

Hit the Kitchen
You can turn many food items already in your kitchen into effective spa treatments.
For example, cut a lemon in half and rub it over your elbows and knees to soften rough skin.
You can blend yogurt, honey, avocado and other ingredients with aloe vera gel to create a soothing and nourishing facial cream.
If you have sugar, consider making your own bath scrub.

Set the Mood
Part of the spa experience is enjoying the mood set by creative lighting, comfortable furniture, and soothing scents in the air.
You can create a similar mood at home by turning down the lights, blocking out sunlight, lighting a few candles, and touching the air with relaxing, soothing scents.
Once the mood is set, you can ask someone to give you a warm oil massage in exchange for a back rub.
It might not be the same as having someone else do all the work at the spa, but it is a relaxing way to bring the spa into your home.
