I have been “Chronically Ill” for over ten years now, so I have learnt some “tricks of the trade” along the way. Some days I spend more time sleeping then I am awake. so defiantly do not have the energy to be doing a regime for my skin or doing my hair all pretty and nice.
So here are my top five tips:
- Dry shampoo. This is such a life saver, so you don’t have to worry about washing your hair, (like for me it’s a daily task that I struggle with, so now its not so much of a daily task!) and you can get rid of the horrible greasy hair feeling, quickly without wasting precious energy! And it smells great! My favourite brand is COLAB, they have amazing themes on their bottles that always put a smile on my face. (I have underlined and link it for you!)
- Make Up wipes and Baby wipes- If you have had what it feels like a long day, all you want to do is slip in to your favourite pair of Pjs and snuggle up under your duvet, you really don’t want to we wasting time washing your face, moisturising and cleansing, you can get some amazing wipes now that contain everything you need with just one wipe, I have been using Nivea face MicellAir wipes, I must say I am loving them at the moment. Baby Wipes- They are just perfect for the days when you can’t even manage a wash! you can get some that are gently for sensitive skin!
- Face Sheet Masks– I seem to always have a supply of them, all different brands and I love them because I can use them with out getting of bed! I all I need to do if clean my face before applying with a face wipe and then I can apply the mask, It does make me feel better doing a little pampering for my bed!
- Night Time Moisturiser– For when I remember to apply before I go to sleep! I use a CPAP full face mask at night and it does make my chin and nose really dry, so a night time moisturiser does actually really help.
- Body Lotion- I can go through dry skin spells and it can get sore and irritating, so I try and use a body lotion most days. I recently received a GlossyBox with a small bottle of Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Body Lotion and now I am hooked!
I hope these tips have been of some use to you!
Love,
Grace.
