While you may have become hardened by the first lockdown back in March, that doesn’t make the second time around any easier and that’s OK! While it won’t eliminate anxiety or any other mental health issues that may arise from being stuck indoors away from our loved ones, beauty, self-care, and wellness can act as a distraction, making your problems seem just a little bit smaller. To help, we’ve compiled a list of self-care supplies – including skincare, haircare, crystals, face masks, foot scrubs, and everything in-between – to stock up on before Thursday that will see you kept pampered and pruned until the time that lockdown is lifted. 1/15 You may like next 1/15 1/15 Courtesy of the brandSpacemask – Self-heating eye mask set Perfect before bed to rest eyes that have been blasted with blue light from phones, laptops, and tablets, Spacemask’s self-heating eye mask will relieve tension and guarantee a restful night.
