Finishing touches

We are pretty certain that any form of grooming disappeared with your self-respect quite a few years ago. There is no more effective way to plummet your self-esteem than feeling unkempt and looking grubby. We believe that cleanliness is the route to godliness.

Hair

As your hair has been neglected for so long, a dramatic new style will be the quickest way for you to re-invent yourself. It will need maintenance, but many salons offer a student night which will bring down the cost. There is no better confidence builder than a good friend having to do a double take when the new you walks through the door.

Scarf

Guess what? As well as keeping your neck warm, a scarf is an accessory. Scarves are a great, inexpensive way to pull your look together, adding colour and sparkle. Try to acquire a good collection of scarves in all the colours of your palette. Wearing a scarf that picks out one of the colours from your top, jacket or handbag completes any outfit with Èlan. Include some with sequins, or in shimmery silk and acetate knits as well as the practical woolly variety.

Cosmetics

Since you last addressed your skin care routine, we guarantee that your face has changed... if indeed you still maintain any kind of skin care routine. Now is the time to catch up before it is too late. You need to scrub off those years of neglect. Start with an exfoliator. Your skin needs waking up. Each morning take three minutes to scrub your face, gently around the eyes, but quite firmly elsewhere, and use a flannel to wash off the product. Follow with a good moisturiser. You will be left with glowing, younger-looking skin.
