We all need something to lift our spirits at the moment, and while beauty routines are hardly the be-all-and-end-all of self care they can help you to feel a little more like yourself.

Picking up your favourite product can perk up your mood in a matter of seconds and it’s been the constant that I’ve looked forward to each morning and evening throughout the past year. These are the products that I’ve added into my routine whenever I’ve needed a little pick-me-up.

Clean Reserve Citron Fig*

Nothing lifts my mood like this perfume. Their entire collection is gorgeous but the fresh, zesty and crisp smell of Citron Fig transports me to warmer weather in an instant. Spritzing any perfume will help you to lift your spirits, and even if you aren’t going anywhere it’s still a nice ritual to maintain. 

St Tropez Self Tan Express Bronzing Mousse*

This tan takes me from feeling drab and grey to fresh and sunkissed in a matter of hours. It’s just enough to perk me up and take the edge off of my pale winter skin but not so much that it looks unnatural. It’s easy to apply, quick to absorb and you can wash it off after just a couple of hours.

Glossier Body Hero Dry Touch Oil Mist*

Indulge yourself and invest in some luxurious bodycare, whether it’s a cream, oil or bath product. The Glossier Body Oil has saved my dry winter skin, hasn’t disrupted my tan too much and has the most beautiful scent. Similar to Glossier You it’s a light, feminine but not-too-girly scent that lingers on the skin. 

Olaplex No 3*

Fellow hair-dyers, if you aren’t already on the Olaplex train then hop aboard. With all of us waiting a little longer than usual *ahem* for a professional to sort out our hair anything that prevents the impulse of a little DIY is good by me. I apply liberally and then leave it on literally all day. I’m talking mid-morning till bedtime. Sure, you don’t need to but the difference it made to my hair is unbelievable. 

Neom De-Stress Bath Foam*

A little treat in your daily shower never hurt anyone, and while this Neom Bath Foam is designed for the bath I also like to pour a little into the corner of my shower for a relaxing treat. The steam carries the scent up and it’s a lovely way to treat yourself if you don’t have time for a bath or you simply don’t have one.
