Nailed it *manicure emoji*

I figured now is the best time to let my hands and feet breathe for a couple of weeks, so they’re nail polish free. I use apricot oil on my nails a couple of times a day to keep them heal

New tech-niques

With nowhere to go, I’ve taken a breather from make-up which in turn has helped me zone in on skincare. I have extremely sensitive combination skin which can sometimes be a nightmare when testing out new products. WFH, however, has made it easier to trial out super-charged ingredients I wouldn’t otherwise have tested in case they made me breakout. All in all, it’s been fun to also treat myself to my new Cryo facial tools, sheet masks and more!

Scalp detox

I have a super oily scalp, so my canister of Batiste dry shampoo is used so often it’s basically an extension of my arm. But because my hair is never not doused in dry shampoo, my scalp has become really dry and itchy. Since WFH, my scalp has had a welcomed break from any products, and I’ve even been trying out all those leave-in hair masks I’ve accumulated and never had the time to play with.
