Busy Girls Guide: Easy Self Care Habits for Girls on the Go

• Silk Hair Wrap

  Although it might seem like another step to your nighttime routine, using silk hair wraps is a game changer in your haircare routine. This hair care ritual dates back centuries, primarily used as a protectant by those with afro and curly hair. Using silk is great at protecting hair from friction which contributes to frizz and hair breakage. For those with curly hair, using silk on your hair will help to keep your curls intact and prevent the curls from breaking, tangling, and falling out of shape. 
  
  Pro Tip: Style your hair before bed and use a hair wrap overnight to save time in the morning before going to work or running errands. A silk hair wrap makes the styling process quick and easy in the morning so you can enjoy a full night of beauty sleep.

• Blotting Sheets

  For oily skin girlies, blotting paper is your new best friend. If you're running around all day and don't have time to fix your makeup, then blotting paper will buy you some extra time as it absorbs excess oil and mattifies the skin. Some sheets come in cute cases and are small enough to fit into your bag to use any time of the day. 

• Pimple Patches

  Do not mess with your spots! When we’re busy and always on the go, our skin suffers, and as much as we hate waking up in the morning with an angry-looking spot on our face, in most cases it is best just to leave them alone to naturally heal. Touching, picking, or trying to pop spots can cause infection or scarring and further inflammation. Perfect for girls on the go, a spot patch is a great way to treat spots (by absorbing the fluid from the spot) and prevents you from touching the spot throughout the day. You can find a variety of patches on the market, with specific ingredients to target specific skin issues. Brands also make pimple patches in cute designs for a bit of fun and transparently to hide under makeup.  

• Happy Hands 

  Often overlooked, but hand care is so important. When you meet someone for the first time, you shake hands, during the winter months our hands suffer the most from dryness, and just like the neck and décolletage, the hands are one of the first parts of the body to show signs of aging. To treat your hands, use hand cream before you go to bed, and carry a small hand cream in your purse so you can keep your hands soft and hydrated throughout the day. There are a variety of beautiful scents available, packed with moisturising and antiaging ingredients to keep your hands looking and feeling good.

• Find your Signature Scent

  Finding your signature scent can be so fun. What you choose can become a representation of your personality and leave a lasting impression on everyone around you. Scent can be closely linked with memory and emotions of happiness, comfort, and empowerment. A signature scent can boost your confidence and make you feel like you are that girl. Pick out a travel-sized bottle of your favourite perfume and keep yourself smelling amazing throughout the day and night or treat your skin to a gorgeous scented lotion. Be that girl that always smells good and people just can’t forget! 

• Daily Vitamins  

  Hot girls take their daily vitamins and it’s just that simple. Whether your schedule is non-stop or you're taking it slow, vitamins offer a range of mental and physical benefits. Find out which vitamins would work best for your needs and enjoy the benefits of more energy, improvement in memory, better quality of sleep, a stronger immune system, and healthier skin.  

• Drink Enough Water

  It’s been said before, and we’ll say it again, drink water! Daily water intake is so important for our overall health and well-being. When you're dehydrated you will see it on your skin, and you feel it inside your body. From bringing nutrients to our cells, improving digestion and brain function to boosting skin health, water really does affect our body from the inside out. No matter what you have planned during the day, always carry a bottle of water to keep yourself feeling happy and hydrated.
