4 Things Every Skincare Lover Needs To Do During Lockdown

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]’m sure this lockdown period is bringing out the Marie Kondo in all of us – reorganising your skincare shelf is probably one of the first things you sorted through to pass the time. Today’s post will touch on reorganising but in a more practical way, which is going to benefit you in the long term as opposed to just wavering some minutes by. Hopefully, this will further encourage you to keep-up such habits once this time has surpassed.

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]f there’s one aspect of my life (literally, just the one) that’s thriving right now, it’s my beauty routine.

I’ve lost count of the number of masks my face has seen in the past few weeks; my hair is so deeply conditioned I’m convinced I could star in a Herbal Essences ad and I’ve even embarked on an IPL laser hair removal journey. Despite all of this, my biggest lockdown glow-up has been my feet. Yes, feet.
