As Christmas draws near, you may feel as if you’re running out of steam. Try these mood-boosting beauty tips to keep you going.
- A slick of lip gloss is such a simple way to lift your mood – choose one with a rosy tint and a flavour you love.
- For those endless evenings out, a red lipstick says, “I’m here and I’m ready to party.”
- Fake a tan – you’ll be amazed how fab you feel in a summer dress with a bit of colour on your legs, arms and décolletage.
- Get some fresh air. This is a busy time of year but don’t forget to take a break. Eat your lunch in the park or go for a walk around the block – you’ll feel like a million dollars afterwards.
- Add a little zing to your wash routine with a body wash that contains citrus – it’s a fragrance that leaves you feeling refreshed and uplifted.
- Take time to prepare. If you know you have a big day ahead, take some time the night before to pamper yourself – you’ll start the day ready for action.
- Enjoy some chocolate. Eating chocolate releases serotonin in the brain and produces feelings of wellbeing. But beware – too much will have the opposite effect when you see the size of your waistline!
- Pretty up your toenails with one of summer’s hot pink or coral shades.
- Go crazy – maybe it’s time for a completely new hairstyle. Make sure you go to a hairdresser who knows you and your hair well.
- Slip away for a lunchtime pampering session with a beauty professional – a facial or massage might be just the treat you need to see you through.
