Pampering treats please

I'm run down, had a horrible christmas and new year with the in-laws, and am recovering from a nasty head cold so have dry flaky skin, a red nose, my lips are cracked and I have black circles under my eyes that look like I've drawn them on. I'm exhausted, and I look it, but I would like to pull myself out of the quagmire and think a bit of pampering will be the order of the day.

I'm normally a wash and go kind of girl, and use the basic Vitamin E range from Superdrug, but I feel like a few treats to make me human again. I'm actually considering a facial once my cold has gone, but a few lovely products to use at home would also be nice.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

O'keeffe lip repair is brilliant. I have very sensitive skin, and aveeno always helps

Thank you. I've used a couple of the aveeno products and they're lovely, thanks for reminding me. I'm going to treat myself tomorrow.

Really like the garnier rehydrating sheet masks. If you have ££ space nk have many brands of skin oils are nice -
Votary, Korres, kiehls, loccitaine all do them and they make a difference

Clinique Pep Start overnight lip mask

Clarins SOS Comfort mask

Ren or Neals yard bath oil

Cervae moisturiser Or Dr Jarts ceramidin cream/gel.

The oils sound nice...instead of moisturiser? Or before/after?

Before moisturiser usually and especially good at bedtime. I also love lovely smelling bath oils - John Lewis has lots (aromatherapy associates, neom organics, any lavender oil)

I swear I am part oil most of the time - Molton Brown bath oil, L’Occitane almond oil and Clarin’s blue orchid oil are just lovely.

Those sound lovely, especially the almond oil. I'm feeling I may be up to a bit of shopping on Friday.
