Lockdown Lives

We’ve all been in self-isolation for the past few weeks now and needless to say it’s getting to the best of us. There’s only so much hoovering, binge watching Netflix documentaries and sorting out clothes that we can do before it all get’s a bit too repetitive. But from a beauty perspective, which we know all too well about, it’s actually the perfect time to focus on trialling new products and seeing what works best for you – something a lot of us rarely have the time to do in our busy daily lives.

Whether it’s brightening your teeth with fun-flavoured toothpastes, saving your dry hands with luxury hand creams or revitalising your skin with innovative oils and serums – we’ve got you covered. Here are a few of the things we’ll be using during lockdown.

According to the experts at CURAPROX we should be changing our toothbrushes regularly, “we always recommend changing a toothbrush after 3 months as by this time the filaments are not as effective at disrupting plaque. With regards to common illnesses such as flu or cold, unless your system is severely compromised, it is not necessary to change your toothbrush. At present we still do not know enough about Covid- 19, so it would be recommended to change your toothbrush if you have had symptoms and have now recovered.” If this is the case, we would suggest going all out and investing in CURAPROX’s Hydrosonic Easy electrical toothbrush. Cleaning up to 42,000 movements per minute, this bespoke oral care option reaches interdental spaces a normal brush cannot, making it a simple, safe, effective and reliable toothbrush. But why stop there? A toothbrush like this needs a fun toothpaste option to go alongside it! The CURAPROX [BE YOU] toothpaste range comes in herby flavours that will make going back to a standard mint option impossible. Choose from the likes of Apple & Aloe, Gin & Tonic, Watermelon and Peach & Apricot – for a twist on a daily routine task.

Dr Levy

Since lockdown, skincare sales have rocketed due to people taking time out and focusing on their skincare regime. Meaning that once this is all over, not only will we have a new outlook on life but will also have glowing skin to match. Cult Beauty favourite, Dr.LEVY Switzerland, wants to encourage those at home to give their skin the time it deserves with their #StayHome, #StaySafe and #StayFab campaign. For an alternative to Botox-like results, why not attempt following the #NoNeedle Eye & Lips Wrinkle Smoother routine. Use the brand’s award-winning Eye Booster Concentrate to replenish the stock of collagen, decrease puffiness and significantly decrease both fine lines and deeper wrinkles around the eyes. Follow with the R3 Cell Matrix Mask by using around the eye area, within 20 minutes the skin is visibly replenished, plumper and smooth in texture. Finally apply the Décolletage Regenerating Silk afterwards for a silky smooth finishing touch.
