Who would have thought we would ever be in a situation where we are unable to get a facial, have your Botox or fillers, our SNS/shellac cannot be maintained and we are unable to visit our place of exercise?
We are homebound. So let’s not let ourselves go, instead, we should adapt and make sure we use all the knowledge we have gained from the professionals to carry on and maintain our own personal health.
Last weekend I admired a woman exercising in the park. Amazingly it was as if she had adjusted her whole gym routine with the use of the park bench to help assist her in her weight-bearing exercises. It was mesmerising and inspirational.
Similarly, as a skin therapist, I have always encouraged my clients to have a good homecare skin routine outside of the salon, demonstrating how they should cleanse, exfoliate etc to ensure skin health is maintained in between treatments. Turning your bathroom into a home spa at least once a week. So there is no need to panic that the salon is closed. Look at this unusual situation as a self-care experience.
