1. Organise and sort through the essentials of your products.
Have you not noticed that once your living space is well organised, you feel relaxed? As an old saying goes: tidying up your home is like tidying up your mind. In addition to getting exercise while organising, sorting, labelling, etc... will teach you to focus on what's essential.
Most of your products have piled up during your busy weeks, it's now time to address this. Place all the items you use for your beauty routine in a fixed location. Ideally, your products should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light, moisture, and heat. However, as a general rule for the sake of time-saving and proximity, you store your products in a cupboard or drawer in the bathroom. This is a major mistake as this room is the most humid in the house. Cosmetic products are sensitive to temperature variations and such an environment would promote the proliferation of bacteria.
2. Implement more specific treatments for these often neglected areas of your body.
On a daily basis, we tend to focus more on our facial beauty routine. It's high time to start taking care of your hands and feet. Generally, you should first clean your hands and feet using a cleansing treatment. Remove any old nail polish if there's any left, and then push back the cuticles. Trim your nails if they're not the length you desire, and file as needed. Another necessary step for the feet is sanding to smooth the soles. You can also perform a scrub for your hands and feet, but don't do it often to avoid irritating the skin. Apply a nail serum concentrated in plant keratin and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, nourish and strengthen them, while massaging for good penetration. Finish by spreading a moisturising balm with 10 ingredients on your skin. You can apply nail polish in the final step, if you wish.
3. Experiment with new products to diversify your skincare routine.
Days spent at home promise to be quite peaceful. It's the perfect time to test new treatments. Revive the radiance of your dull hair or treat yourself to a wellness poultice for your body. You could even establish a care routine for the day or for the weeks ahead. For homemade treatments crafted by your own hands, opt for natural products to minimise the risk of allergies. As you experiment, you will gradually find the right combinations, so be persistent.
In conclusion, these beauty routines are beneficial for your well-being. The more you care for your body, the more it will reward you. Take advantage of these moments of confinement to rejuvenate your spirit and enhance your beauty.
