Generations before us understood the power of simple, consistent self-care.
From steaming the skin to hydrate and detox, to oiling the nails for strength and shine, these time-honoured practices have one thing in common: they work.
And when paired with nourishing skin products they become even more effective — and more beautiful to experience.
1. ✨ Facial Steam Bowls: Detox the Old-School Way
Steaming the face over a bowl of hot water and herbs is a ritual that dates back centuries. It opens the pores, softens the skin, and enhances the absorption of your skincare products.
Try this: Fill a ceramic bowl with hot water, add a few drops of essential oil (like lavender or eucalyptus), and drape a towel over your head. Inhale deeply and let the steam do its magic for 5–10 minutes.
Pair it with: Navy’s brow tools like Carol or Sheila, which glide effortlessly on softened skin for precise shaping post-steam. Our stainless-steel design ensures hygiene, control, and durability — no tugging, no rust, no compromise.
2. 💧 Cold Water Rinses: A Vintage Glow-Boosting Secret
After steaming, a splash of cold water is the ultimate pick-me-up. It tightens pores, boosts circulation, and gives skin that fresh, radiant look — no filter needed.
Make it a ritual by keeping a bowl of cool water nearby, maybe even with a few rose petals or cucumber slices for a spa-like touch.
Pair it with: Our Lash & Brow Conditioning Serum, applied after your skin cools. The contrast between hot and cold helps your skin better absorb active ingredients, while our serum conditions and strengthens your natural beauty over time.
3. 💅 Oiling Nails: The Forgotten Ritual That Deserves a Comeback
Before synthetic treatments, nail care meant natural oils, gentle massage, and daily attention. Oiling your nails and cuticles not only hydrates and protects, but also promotes long-term nail health and growth.
Try it: Warm a few drops of your favourite navy nail balm or serum between your hands and massage it into your nails, cuticles, and knuckles using slow, circular motions.
Pair it with: Navy’s signature balm, our bestselling balm and serums are the perfect pairing for hydrated nails, they provide salon-level results with old-world elegance.
