1. Don't Forget About Your Body
It's common to forget your legs, hands and neck when most of your attention falls on your face, head, hands and feet. This year, aim to care more for the rest of your body by cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising it more often.
Swirlster Says: The Bath & Body Works Bourbon Strawberry & Vanilla Shower Gel and Body Lotion are available for Rs 4,370. Shop here.
2. Make Grooming Essential
Even if you're short on time, that isn't an excuse to look ungroomed. Clipped fingernails, trimmed facial hair and pleasant perfume are basics in the hygiene and grooming department even if you choose to skip hair and makeup.
Swirlster Says: The Ekan Scissor and Plucker Set is available for Rs 249 from Rs 349. Shop here.
3. Go Beneath
Good hair and skin goes far beyond the surface level. What you eat, the amount of water you drink and the quality of sleep you get plays a major part in clear skin and lush hair. Drink up and sleep well, not just once in a while but regularly as a habit.
Swirlster Says: The White Willow Orthopedic Memory Foam Bed Pillow is available for Rs 1,499 from Rs 2,999. Shop here.
4. Mask More
With heat styling and constant exposure to the elements, it's impossible to get a healthy mane without regular TLC. Do right by it with a weekly hair mask in your hair care ritual.
Swirlster Says: The Schwarzkopf Gliss Ultimate Repair Anti-Damage Hair Mask is available for Rs 510. Shop here.
5. Don't Forget To Remove Your Makeup
We've said it before and we'll say it again. Leaving your makeup on while sleeping is a cardinal sin that clogs pores and aggravates it through the night. With wipes or a remover, it's a few minutes of effort that you won't regret.
Swirlster Says: The Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes are available in a pack of 2 for Rs 1,440 from Rs 3,990. Shop here.
6. Do It Yourself More
Save the effort and money spent on regular salon appointments by switching treatments with homemade packs, manicures and pedicures. It may not replicate the results exactly but is worth saving bucks and resourcefully doing it yourself in your own home.
Swirlster Says: The Lotus Professional Crystal Spa Pedicure and Manicure for 6 sessions is available for Rs 1,160 from Rs 1,595. Shop here.
Have a happy new year full of resolutions to make your skin glow and hair shine.
