What are the home treatments/products/routines that make you feel put together?

I love these threads usually but a lot of the recommendations involve outside maintenance such as getting your eyebrows done, light botox, gel nails, regular hair cut etc and obviously at the moment that's easier said than done.
I was wondering how you manage to feel/look put together in this strange time, without the appointments - what things you do or use at home that helps?

I’ve started tinting my own eyelashes, and am doing facials and hair masks at home every week. Also got a Les Mills subscription so I can do home body pump workouts to tone up a bit.

Ooh I didn't think of tinting them myself
I'm a complete novice so would be scared I'd mess it up

I've been using st Tropez in shower gradual tan
I've got a gel nails kit to do myself but I'm rubbish at it

I always feel better after a DIY pedicure, I don't feel myself without painted toes. I have a electric foot file by scholl and it's grossly satisfying to see all the skin flakes come off Blush

Monthly box dye. One colour all over.
Weekly facemask & exfoliate.
Shave legs, arms, bikini & remove lip hair.
Pluck eyebrows.
Pedicure & manicure, paint nails.

That's my basic routine.

Dermalogicas multivitamin recovery mask is a facial in a tube. I buy sachets off eBay. It’s buav approved and they don’t sell in China 👍. I’ve been using it about 20 years. It gives you rich person skin 😀

Fake tan always makes me feel better, I use Superdrug’s 10 minute tan but I leave it on half an hour. Then you rinse under plain water and go to bed. No streaky hands or dark patches this way, and it doesn’t mess the bedding up or smell.
