How much time do you spend on personal grooming?

How much time do you spend on routine personal grooming?

What do you do?

I’m feeling like I look so rough lately (which may or may not be true) and thought spending more time on hair/makeup might be a start. Currently I spend zero to 2 minutes each morning and then about 3 minutes each night. Not including brushing my teeth.

I was always able to get away with this and look just fine but as I get closer to 50 that’s no longer the case.

What do you do and how long does it take?

Shower including hair wash and shaving legs 20 mins, moisturise body and face maybe a couple of minutes. Hair dry about 5 mins. Makeup 20 mins. That's my morning routine. At night cleanse and moisturise face approximately 5 mins, I don't like faffing at night but like to feel prepared for the day! I'm 37 if that makes any difference.

I've started a little routine in the evening after my shower:

Face cream
Cuticle oil
Eye cream
Hand cream

No idea if it makes any difference but I love sitting there smelling of strawberries with peachy-soft skin Grin

I've made more effort recently .. god knows why as occasionally working from home
Full body exfoliation.. body moisturiser
Face mask , hair mask
Been putting castor oil on my lashes and I think they do look longer lol
Using up eye creams and bits I've had and just never keep to ☹️

15 mins in shower- hair wash (every third shower), whizz razor over and wash. Moisturise after show- couple of minutes. Brush teeth twice daily.

Takes about half an hour to dry and style my hair - I do this about three times a week, the other days it goes up.

Do my make up daily if I'm leaving the house- takes about ten minutes for work, 25 minutes for going out.

I get my nails done every three weeks - takes about an hour.

I get my hair cut and coloured every 8 weeks - takes about three hours total.

Go to the gym 3/4 times a week for about an hour and a half each session half of that is fancying about or sitting in spa
