What is the best style and beauty investment you've made

[JustAnotherDayWorkingAtHome]

For me:
Underarm laser hair removal
Medical grade skincare products
Botox (for now but I know there a shelf life )
Buying less clothes but spending more per item

@DivorcedAndDelighted I spoke to my dentist about Invisalign because a friend now has lovely straight teeth but an overbite with it, she said it’s really common to get an overbite, and perhaps that’s what @BlueAnd has noticed?

Yes, I hate that very distinctive Invisalign overbite where the teeth are arranged in a ‘u’ shape even in those with a square jaw. They also develop really prominent front teeth and often those teeth have been augmented with composites or bleaching so it just looks very distracting instead of charming.

Like fillers, Invisalign is immediately obvious to those who don’t have them, but I know it’s a controversial subject so I will hush now!

Agree with some kind of face massage / exercise, (loads on you tube) Just a little bit each day

Botox - i had some a year ago, lasted ages!!

Gua sha - I can always tell when i haven't done it for a while.

Groomed brows, hands, feet

SPF 50

Tretinoin and good skincare

At home mild facial feel once a week

i have a micro current device but it isn't compatible with my metal braces so I'm waiting on them being removed.

My hair is a total mess at moment so following for ideas.

Sleep and time to do above !!!

Learning how to sew my own clothes.

Smoker’s tooth powder.

Tretinoin
Spf50 daily
A little Botox
Regaine for my hair growth

Could anybody recommend a facial spf50 please?

Daily yoga. Best decision 26 year old me ever made!

Botox couple of times a year

eyebrows shaped/ tinted as above. Not brave enough for tattooing them on but can keep the shape myself for a while after each session.

Teeth whitening

good hair cut then airwrap to give the blow dry look

regular pedicures, semi regular manicures. Cuticle oil makes a massive difference

Simple Jewelry. Gold earrings and fine necklaces, couple of fine / chunky bracelets to stack

good quality clothes built up over twenty years, helps that I’m the same size (see point one)

La Roche Posay or Avene, lots of options within those brands for your skin type. Heliocare do a good mineral one if you don't want to use chemical.

Exercise and good, wholesome good. Everything is better.

A good hairdresser for a cut three times a year, a good hairdryer + the Revlon brush so I can blow dry my hair in less than 15 mins, and the cherry on the cake is the Silke hair wrap. I wake up with perfect hair every day, and I only need to wash it twice a week.

Also, the Isle of Paradise self-tanning drops. I use it once a week, it just gives my skin a lovely glow.

Second the laser hair removal. Makes life so much easier!
Good cut and colouring/balayage at a very reliable salon - I would never suggest taking chances when it comes to haircare, especially colouring. Hair damage can be devastating if the stylist doesn't know what they're doing, and it's worth it for the perfect 'cool' shade of blonde (why so many stylists think blonde = brassy, I won't ever understand)

i second la roche posey spf50 (liquid face one) goes really nice under makeup, they do a tinted one and non tinted. I always buy non tinted

A sacrifice rather than investment but I cut out wheat. Eczema patches have gone, joints stopped aching, I sleep better, fart less and have lost a stone.

Botox

Skincare since young

hairdresser

brows

Good skincare regimen

Can I ask, what is Aesplla?

Also, what do you do with your Gua Sha? As in what products do you use, and what does it do for you?

Hands down it's been fillers - cheeks and jaw
Medical grade neck cream
SPF all year around (although started this too late to avoid sun damage completely)

However I'm 49 and know that it's impossible to stem the tide on aging forever and I now need to fight the battle with menopausal chin hair which I'm currently losing 😫

Such a good thread. Bumping for more contributions..?

Laser eye surgery

Teeth straightened and whitened as an adult

I've just started using Klira - tretinoin prescription. Pleased with the results so far.

I’m obsessed with the garnier range. Using their F50 VitC daily UV glow product makes my skin look so healthy, dont need a foundation with it. Its not too shiny or oil slick looking!
if i forget or need a quick fix or extra as on holiday i use their F50 Super UV face mist. Its great over makeup too.
In winter using F30 VitC moisturiser serum all in one.
its very reasonably priced and often on offer so i stock up then.
