Recommendations for a half term of budget pampering.

[MorvaanReed]

I work at a school so have a week off and thanks to Covid I'm not going far. My hands (dry skin, battered nails), feet (dry) , hair (fine but lots of it with a lot of wiry/frizzy greys) and face (50s, combination) could use some kindness. My normal beauty routine is washing. Part of my work is in catering so I live with my hair dragged back, no make up, short nails (that are further buggered because I also do the cleaning).

I've got £50ish. What would everyone recommend? If I can get it from Amazon or Superdrug all the better. I'd especially like a face mask but have never got further than a £1 cucumber peel off before.

I work in a school too and half term tomorrow is more precious than ever. I'm hoping for a trip to the hairdresser's, a massage and an eyebrow tint. If I were you and I had strictly £50 to spend, i would choose the salon treatment I wanted/needed most (for example a manicure) and book that in. The remaining money I would use to buy a facemask, face creams, a hair tint etc and have a pampering day at home too. Somewhere like Superdrug or a pound type shop sell branded, good quality products really cheaply.

I've toying with the idea of a manicure for ages. Especially since I can't wear nail varnish at work.

You've also made me consider my eyebrows. I'm long sighted, so plucking is tricky. Now might be the time to get them threaded or waxed. Thanks!
