#ICYMI: Even when you feel pulled in a million directions by a million people, even on the busiest of days, there is nothing better than spending some quality time alone to destress, regroup, and rejuvenate so that we can be the best version of ourselves for ourselves and for those closest to us.
Whether you like to cook, exercise, read, do yoga, meditate, learn a new hobby, or whatever helps you feel replenished, time spent alone investing in yourself is always worth it. Always.
How to Create a Spa Like At-Home Mani-Pedi
One of our favorite ways to experience a bit of self-indulgence is to transform a regular evening (or any time, actually!) relaxing bath ritual into the ultimate time for some self-care, including an at-home mani-pedi. If this appeals to you too, here’s a quick routine we know you’ll love!

Here’s what you need:
Enjoy this ultra-hydrating delight that begins with a soak using our age defying and nourishing fruit enzyme and shea butter wash, followed by a smoothing and hydrating shea butter scrub.

Don’t skip your Cuticles! Once you’ve shown your hands, feet, and nails some love, it’s time to put some extra focus on your precious cuticles. After all, healthy cuticles lead to healthy nails.
While they’re still soft from the soak, gently push your cuticles back, removing any remaining dead skin in the process. Then apply your favorite cuticle oil or massage one of our nourishing body oils into your cuticles right before bed, let the oil work its magic overnight, then wash your hands in the morning. It’s a super simple way to multi-task: Your cuticles get the love they need while you’re enjoying some beauty sleep.
How to Choose the Best Products? Look at the ingredients.
It is important to note that not every bath and body product is good for you. We suggest using organic, natural, non-toxic bath and body products that are formulated without sulfates or parabens. Many people don’t take the time to look at the labels of the products they are using when it comes to their beauty routine, but it is so important as many products contain ingredients that can actually cause irritation, inflammation, and skin issues unbeknownst to us as there is very little regulation within the United States. With that being said, many brands now have loose definitions of what it means to be clean—there is a lot of green washing out there. What does this mean? It means that most beauty brands all have their own definition of what it means to be clean. So, what does that mean here at Zents?
OUR FORMULAS
Not only organic, but also Biodynamic®, our flower essences are grown on a Biodynamic certified farm. Biodynamic is not only chemical free (just like organics) but also pays attention to what plants grow next to each other, making sure they are compatible, that they need different nutrients and are not fighting for the same resources from the soil. They also plant and harvest at very specific times to ensure the plant is at peak potency, and that healing potency in turn goes into you! An easy way to think of Biodynamic is organic, to the next level.
SUSTAINABLE, ETHICAL ORGANIC SHEA BUTTER
Shea butter comes from an African tree nut. This rich emollient traps moisture, promotes elasticity, protects against sun damage, and fades age spots. Our sustainably hand-harvested shea is purchased through women’s co-ops. The co-ops provide women with income, fair wages, empowerment, and opportunities to support themselves and their families.
You can feel good about using our products for your perfect at home spa day rituals! We hope you love our mani and pedi suggestions, and be sure to share your experience with us!
