Pampering and Self-Care in Lockdown

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]E[/eltd_dropcaps]very day is starting to feel the same, right?  Why not take this time to look after ourselves; It’s a break from life, something that many of us will never get again. 

Let’s switch our mindsets from feeling fed up to appreciating this time, learning to be grateful for our safety and our health. I know it’s a challenging time, but seeing the positives will change your mindset for the day. Without our hairdressers or beauticians, we are all starting to feel the withdrawal symptoms… But hang on in there! Don’t get out the box dye or the wax strips, instead, let’s embrace these roots and fluffy brows! Some self-love and acceptance is something you usually might not get the time for. 

What is the correct order of applying skincare products?

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]S[/eltd_dropcaps]kincare is great, isn’t it? All those lotions and potions in the bathroom cabinet or on your vanity scream self care, and the endless options make your eyes water with excitement. But it can also be hard with all the different products and ingredients, exfoliators, toners, vitamin C and retinoids, morning and evening moisturisers, it’s like a complex game of Jenga. It’s important to make sure you apply your products in the correct order to prevent them from not working or worse, irritating your skin.

So what is the right order of applying skincare products? Let’s start with the morning…

Staying Sane in Isolation

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]t’s now been – ahem – a while since Boris announced the country-wide lockdown, with the entire of the U.K.’s non-essential workforce suddenly working from home full time.  

After the initial giddiness at the prospect of an extra half an hour in bed, not having to battle the rush hour Northern Line twice a day, and a new work wardrobe comprising mainly loungewear and sliders, the reality of the situation settled in.  

Skincare For Women Who Prefer A Minimalist Routine

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]F[/eltd_dropcaps]ace washes, cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizers, sheet masks, exfoliant……how many skincare products do you use every day?

From one person to the other, skincare routines can range from anywhere between one to fifteen steps. Multiple factors contribute to the length of a person’s skincare routine – you could be a person who enjoys an elaborate skincare routine, or you might be someone with problematic skin. On the other hand, you might even be a person who doesn’t want to invest a lot of time and work into a skincare routine with more than 3 steps, but still, wish to see brilliant results.

A Win-Win for Winter Skin

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]W[/eltd_dropcaps]inter, you either love it or hate it. For the lovers of winter the nostalgia is all too special; Cosy pyjamas, a warm mug of something sweet, a movie that you’ve seen a hundred times before and the sighting of the first few snowflakes… Happier things I relate back to these colder months. For the people who don’t love winter too much all they see is dreary skies, short days and cold ferocious winds.
