Feel drab. Help!!

I feel so drab at the minute. Can anybody please give me some product recommendations for

  1. curly hair. My hair is very thick and looks frizzy at the minute.
  2. skin care products for dry but very sensitive skin. Also something that reduces redness.

clothing wise, I’m 5 ft 2 and pear shaped. Any nice jeans recommendations? Mine keep falling down at my hips and bunch up at the bottoms.

Thank you!!

Have you tried the curly girl method? I think there are threads about it. I have dry skin which is prone to redness and use a homemade toner (green tea and apple cider vinegar), and olive oil as a moisturiser.
I'm not a pear though so can't help there!

Make sure your conditioner is conditioning enough and your shampoo isn’t making frizz worse - I have fine curly hair and find bumble and bumble invisible oil shampoo and conditioner is good.

Don’t rub at your hair with a towel. Wrap it up in a t shirt material towel. Use a curl defining cream. Tie your hair up overnight, try a silk pillowcase too, and use a bit of cream to scrunch and redefine on non hair washing days.

Superdrug Vitamin E face wash is very gentle. Simple products are good, or Clinique or la Roche Posey are more £££. However- before you spend money check if your skin is dry or dehydrated (or both..)

I am apple not pear, but m and s do a lot of. Jeans in a variety of lengths so that’s a good place to start

There are lots of threads on all these topics so have a hunt.

I tried this yesterday as my hair was showing signs of unhappiness, frizzing, get knotted etc . I found a tube of this on an old glossy box . It's quite thin for a maid mask so it's easy to work through you hair. This morning I've woken up.to my curls.

I would feel drab if the only thing I was thinking of buying right now was jeans. Grin

Often when people are finding their clothes boring it’s because they don’t have enough variety of texture in their wardrobe. Jeans and a t shirt does rather deaden inspiration.
