5 Beauty Tips for Busy Women

<b>The 3-miunte Weekly Face Scrub</b><br/><br/>Yes, you know you should do it but where’s the time! Well, a face scrub is important as it helps exfoliate dead skin and lends a lasting glow to the face. It needs only about 3 minutes, and one great way to do it is to place the scrub bottle in your shower. Fix a time – A Saturday night or Sunday morning shower when you can take those extra 3 peaceful minutes in the shower.<br/><br/><strong>Give 30 seconds to Your Eyes</strong><br/><br/>As a woman ages, her eyes need additional care, something she tends to overlook in her beauty regimen. A simple way to ensure<br/>regular care of your eyes is to place an under eye balm/gel next to your bedside. Right before you doze off, taking 30 seconds every night to apply the under-eye gel will help get rid of fine lines, dark circles, and make your eyes look fresh.<br/>Biobloom’s all Natural Under Eye Gel is packed with the power of Aloe Vera, Cucumber & Mint.<br/><br/><strong>Your feet say a lot about you</strong><br/>The feet- they give away so much about a woman’s lifestyle but are often neglected. If you have ever said to yourself, “Let me skip the pedicure, there is no time,” you are not alone.<br/>An easy way to take care of your feet is to keep a good foot scrub in the shower. Fix two days in a week when you will not leave the shower without spending 30 seconds on each foot, scrubbing the heels.<br/>Fortnightly Foot Soak: Give your feet special treatment by taking out 30 minutes once in 15 days (that’s 360 hours!). Will give you great looking feet plus a relaxed half hour of doing nothing.<br/>We strongly recommend our peppermint & tea tree Bath Salt – Foot Soak for an easy, effective pedicure at home!<br/><br/><strong>Hair Care: The More the Merrier</strong><br/>Fizzy hair, falling hair, rough hair, dry hair, limp hair – Hair can so often give a woman sleepless nights. What to do when you don’t<br/>have the time to shampoo every day, leave alone using a conditioner?<br/>Well, all it needs is a bit of planning: Make weekly hair care a family ritual: Get your children, spouse, partner, parent, friend to join you on a weekend hair oiling session at home. Ask family members to give each other an oil massage. Involving others will take away the burden of finding time for the task and you will enjoy it even more. Also, this will ensure weekly hair oiling for children which we often tend to miss.<br/>Try the following Hair Treatments from Biobloom:<br/>Anti Dandruff Solution<br/>Hair Strengthening Solution
