We don’t have a magic pill that transforms you from ordinary girl to super model diva, but we do have extraordinarily simple steps you can follow while you’re getting ready for a night out or a long weekend getaway that will have you feeling like you had a head-to-toe makeover. It will only add minutes to your regular routine and the effects will last for days.

Start at the top and work your way down. Apply a deep conditioner to your hair beginning the ends and working toward your scalp. You’re going to allow the steam from a hot bath to penetrate the hair shaft so, depending on your hair type, either stop an inch before the scalp or apply lightly all the way to the scalp. If your hair is very dry, cover all your hair in a shower cap with twenty small holes punched in it to allow the steam to circulate. For normal hair, twist hair and clip on top of your head.

While you draw a hot bath (add your favorite salts or aromatherapy candles to invigorate all your senses) apply a face mask appropriate to your skin type. The steam from the bath will allow the mask to work overtime as its nutritive permeate the skin.

Nothing makes you feel confident and refreshed like smooth skin. As you sink into the bath, let your muscles relax as your skin softens. Gently rub an exfoliating scrub on your feet and calves. Take your time and enjoy it. Your hands will be exfoliated as you rub your legs and feet, so extend the spa treatment up your arms to your elbows.

Rinse your entire body and hair with cooler water than your bath to close pores and lock moisture into the shafts of your hair. Cool water also helps make hair more manageable.

Depending on the dryness of your skin, towel dry and moisturize with either a rich glycerin or night cream, or a moisture-rich lotion. Apply a daily moisturizer to arms and hands as you normally would.

Rinse the mask from your face and towel dry. Moisturize with a gentle daily moisturizer.

Now that your skin is primed, apply a self tanning lotion to add a hint of color. Begin with your legs paying close attention to our knees and ankles. Wash your hands after you apply the lotion to each section of your body to ensure that you don’t leave with streaks of tanner on your palms. While it dries, apply one-coat, quick-dry nail color to your toe and finger nails; tweeze eyebrows and you’re ready to go with soft, sun-kissed skin that will last through the weekend; soft, full hair and a glowing face that will attract attention anywhere you go.
