Self care/ pampering do you have time?

I don’t enjoy self care so limit it.
I spend time drying my hair as it looks awful if I don’t. I use body lotion as my skin gets so itchy. I wear a small amount of make up when I go out. Regular 6 weekly appointments with the hairdresser to sort out the grey roots. That’s more than enough for me!

I do whats necessary, shower shave legs if needed, hair, face moisturiser with spf daily and night time if I remember, cut toe nails, hand cream when i remember. Thats about it my daughter trims my hair so no hairdressers.

Same here, I think I look ok, no need for a regime taking hours.

Some days I do have the time for "self care", other days I don't. Either way, I never bother. Like all propaganda, first the advertisers (and glossy mags and influencers and anyone else hoping to make an easy buck) make potential buyers feel convinced that they have a problem. Then it offers a miracle product which will solve said problem. It's a wonder we're still swallowing those myths whole, but as we get gradually wiser, so the advertisers (etc) get a little craftier.

Yes, I am a believer in self care.

No, never do anything like that.

I shower, wash my hair, dry it.

Just use soap and water on my face, shower gel to wash body with.

Bit of hand cream on at bedtime, and foot cream when I think about it.

Cut my own toenails when they need it, but getting very tough to do.

That’s it really.

I do have the time - but I really can't be bothered!
