I don’t know about anyone else, but lockdown has had both positives and negatives for me. Positive? Getting to spend more time with my children, reading more and being out in the fresh air more than I ever have. Negatives? Plenty, of course. Not being able to visit or hug my extended family, not getting to do my job (which, before you say it – I genuinely love) and having to manage homeschooling. As teacher, it is nigh on impossible to teach your own kids.
But one of the other positives has been my beauty routine – or should I say lack thereof. Because I’m hardly wearing makeup at all anymore. Except for those days when I have Zoom meetings and have to make some sort of effort! But even though I’ve not been wearing much makeup, I’ve had a little extra time to properly pay attention to my skin care routine. One brand I really genuinely love because of its ethos, great products and natural ingredients is Elave and I’ve really pleased that I can easily get it delivered to my door from gardinerfamilyapothecary.com. Because I’m out in the fresh air more often, it is so important that I safeguard my skin and there are several products from Elave that help with that.
