Beauty routine

What is your routine? When/how often do you tint, tan do nails, do feet etc ? How do you motivate yourself to do it?

Hit and miss

Toenails - paint as needed, in front of the TV usually! Same with filing feet
Hand cream and foot cream every night
Sanctuary wet skin gel after shower on wet skin
I don't tan, or do lashes or false nails

It depends how I’m feeling! Back in normal times I would fake tan on a Sunday night and wash it off Monday morning. I do individual fake lashes on a Sunday too - it just means that during the week I can do wake up, put some bronzer on and I’m pretty much good to go.

I tint eyebrows every 3 weeks or so, I would do gel nails every 6 weeks ish in a salon and about once a month at home. I do gel nails once every 10 days at home and 2/3 weeks in the real world.

It probably makes me sound high maintenance but it enables me to be lazy before work as I’ve done all my maintenance in one go.

Depends if you need it and it's important to you I think. If it doesn't make you happy, why do you have to motivate yourself? It's not like it's exercise.

My beauty routine is very minimalistic, I occasionally paint my nails, don't do tanning or false lashes or anything, ever. Hair color every four weeks at a good salon. Minimal makeup of concealer, blush, eyeliner and mascara.

Skin care, however, another story: morning and night, multi-step, been religious about it since 25.

I'm naturally quite lazy & motivation is low!
In normal times I get pedicures during the Summer, haven't even painted my toenails so far.
I do like a facial every couple of months but am using face masks at home.
Normally get my eyelashes & brows tinted & threaded regularly. Not touched myself though so far.
I do have very expensive highlights though & am getting them done in 3 weeks. Too scared to muck it up at home.

I'm quite good with skincare but rarely wear more than mascara & bronzer so haven't wore anything during lockdown. Have treated myself to some nice products to make life more exciting.

Only fake tan for specific events.
