Getting Back Into Beauty

If there is one thing that most of us rely on when it comes to working from home, it’s being able to ignore the daily feeling that makeup is needed every single day. Lockdowns and the new shift to working from home has meant that many people are choosing to allow their skin to breathe and are dispensing with layers of makeup and products. It’s a breath of fresh air for your skin, that’s for sure, but if you choose to get back to the office, you might also want to choose to get back into your old beauty routines. If that’s the case for you, then you’re in the right place. 

From buying a few at-home teeth whitening kit options to speaking to a makeup expert on the right products for your skin. Skin changes happen over time and so the products that may have worked beautifully two years ago may not have the same effect on you anymore. Getting your skin type looked at by a beautician is a good place to start, as you’ll be able to ensure that you have the right products at all times. So, if you want to transition back into an easy and low maintenance beauty routine, here are some tips to get you going!

1. Use a good fragrance. Sometimes, it’s all in that spritz of something nice that you can smell as you walk down the street. A soothing spritz of fragrance can make all the difference to your day to day, and the fragrance can be summery or it can be more muted, but it can often make you feel confident.
2. Use a tinted sunscreen. Slapping on layers of foundation and cover-up can be a pain but if you use a tinted sunscreen, you’re protecting your skin while also making your skin glow at the same time. It makes all the difference and you will help your skin to maintain its newfound cleanliness rather than feeling spotty. Protecting your skin makes a huge difference to how beautiful you feel.
3. Don’t forget your hair. When you spend a lot of time at home and not going to the salon, the chances are you’re going to neglect your hair and its health. At home, it’s so much easier to shove it into a messy bun and leave it there for the day. But the elastic that you’re using could be damaging your hair and hurting your scalp. Go and see a proper hairdresser, and ensure that you have a clean healthy scalp with hair that has had a little bit of love and a deep condition.
4. Embrace a little colour. When was the last time you slicked on a brightly coloured lipstick? When was the last time you went on a zoom call with more than just lipgloss? Did you know that you can feel more empowered, confident, and even more put together simply by having the right lipstick? You want people to perceive you as confident, and this is one of the best ways to do it.
