What do you do to look after yourself?

[Selfcareneeded]

I have neglected myself for years. A combination of factors that include putting everyone else's needs before my own and MH issues.

I'm slowly coming out of the other side. I went to the dentist for the first time in years and after neglecting my teeth for months and months, I need quite a bit of working doing that'll begin in the new year. I've invested in an electric toothbrush, floss and prescription toothpaste as a starting point but how do I go about taking care of myself? My teeth aren't the only thing that have been neglected.

I want to start taking proper care of myself and my health but where do I begin? I'm working on the teeth, will also try and combat my diet but what else? Drink water? Check.

Do you have a routine, certain products you recommend for taking care of hair, skin, etc.

All advice most welcome. I start a FT job in January after being a SAHP so I'm ready for a new start.

Hi I was at a similar stage of life in my mid to late 30’s, I realised I didn’t do anything for myself.
So I decided to get my teeth sorted out and have regular check ups.
I had my hair cut shorter into a proper style so I couldn’t just tie it back.
I started a proper skin care regime.
You could also add things such as doing your eyebrows or getting them done.
Filing your nails weekly and painting them with clear polish a couple of times a week.
Buying and reading a weekly magazine you enjoy.
A luxury bath every so often.
Treat yourself to some lovely pyjamas, dressing gown or underwear.
