What is your favourite beauty product to incorporate into your wellbeing routine?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Eneke, customer<\/p>\n “I start with Liz Earle<\/strong> and I love it. Every evening I take my make-up off with the cleanser, then use the toner<\/a> and I’ve got the Rich cream<\/a> for after. In the morning before I go for a walk, I quickly have a wash and put a little bit of moisturiser on to stop my face drying out. I’ll come back, have my shower and put my make-up on. If I’m just staying at home, I won’t use make-up – just moisturiser.<\/em>”<\/p>\n Jane, customer<\/p>\n “The first thing that I tend to do is look at my fingernails and toenails<\/a> and make sure they’re manicured as I like them to be neat and painted, so that they look smart. Particularly in the summer when you wear sandals, it’s nice to have nail varnish on your toe nails, it makes you feel so much better. I tend to care for my feet a lot. The skin on my feet tends to get a bit dry, especially in the summer, so I always make sure I cream them well before I go to bed.<\/em>”<\/p>\n Ailsa, customer<\/p>\n “I have two – Elemis<\/strong><\/a> I absolutely adore. I like the creams, the eye creams in particular, and I use this beautiful product you put on at night – Peptide 4 Plumping Pillow Facial.<\/a> It soaks straight into your skin and it’s got the most divine smell and texture, it’s lovely. It’s almost got a cooling effect. I literally have it on the other side of my bed to me and put it on as the last thing I do. I use Pro-Collagen Marine Cream<\/a>, and then the plumping one at night. I love the Absolute Eye Serum<\/a>, and Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment<\/a>.<\/em>”<\/p>\n Lara, guest<\/p>\n “I’m not big on make-up, but I am big on fragrance. I pick different fragrances for different moods and I think we can use them as pick-me-ups or calm-me-downs. We can use scent in so many ways to focus and sleep well. Scent can powerfully affect how you feel.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n Do you have a set bedtime routine that you follow?<\/strong><\/p>\n Patricia, customer<\/p>\n “I like to try and get a good eight hours sleep in. It’s not always possible but if I can, I do. I like to just lie on my bed with all my nice products on just relaxing, and it’s calming for me, it keeps the mind clear. I try not to have negative thoughts, just positive thoughts. Just think about your family, and how lucky you are to have them. Not everyone’s safe. That kind of thing.<\/em>”<\/p>\n Shanti, customer<\/p>\n “Definitely cleanse and moisturise, and usually I use a retinol product. I’ll watch some TV, have a nice hot drink, and go to bed with my iPad, sometimes I do a sheet mask and sleep. I definitely always take vitamins at night time!<\/em>”<\/p>\n How do you like to relax?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Julie, customer<\/p>\n “For me, it’s having that time in the evening when the children have gone to bed, just to switch off.\u00a0 I don\u2019t look at my phone, I watch TV or read a book, and that is my time, and I wont deviate from that. It keeps me going and I look forward to it.”<\/em><\/p>\n Anne, customer<\/p>\n
