I guess I’m quite high maintenance, but have learned it starts from within,
so a healthy diet, 90 percent of the time and 3 litres of water a day, and exercising inc weights, 5 or 6 days a week. When you do this your body and skin looks good naturally after a few months. Min alcohol, let your body recover so keep it to nights out.
my skin care I suspect is quite excessive, but I’m in my fifties and it’s working, I’m relatively wrinkle free other than my forehead. I use retinol, then hyrolonic acid, then nad + then moisturiser, twice a day and take powdered collagen twice a day as a drink.
i moisturiser my body three times day, bio oil twice a day on arms chest and tummy , once when I get up and once before bed, and I use a a scented body cream before I dress in the morning. The skin on my body looks smooth.
it all sounds a lot but it takes minutes.
my hair can go about 3 or 4 days before it needs a wash, it’s long.
nails, I use false nails, short and square, they stay on a couple of weeks, no chipping, look real and I just do it myself.
i bought a clothes steamer, it’s a game changer for freshening clothes up that have been in the wardrobe,, i just throw what im wearing on the bed and take the steamer over it, any creases drop out and it looks freshly ironed, i do it on tops, trousers, skirts and jeans, it does make a difference and takes seconds.
wear clean clothes, clean under wear, clean socks, each day after your shower. Trousers, jeans, skirts can be worn a few times, but clothes that are clean and wrinkle free look better.
a spritz of perfume. Something that’s close to skin, not overpowering.
I think it’s important to make an effort, to invest in you, wear something lovely every day, and make it a habit, you will always feel good.
