2. Take a Bath
Drop a Pacha Conversation Heart Froth Bomb in your bath, and it will fizz while releasing moisturizing, latte-like froth. These limited edition froth bombs have special messages (think of them as affirmations) on them like I <3 You, XOXO, Crazy 4 You and Cutie Pie.
3. Nourish Your Skin
If you live in a place with cold winters, the wind and indoor heat can lead to dry, flaky skin. Gentle exfoliation removes flakes and readies your skin to accept a rich facial oil or body cream.
