Beauty treatments- which do you have?

Dry cut at the local barber about once a year.

That's it. Because I'm worthless.

😁 I'm even more worthless. Haven't been to the hairdresser in over 20 years. Hair is long and curly and still brown so just let it do it's own thing apart from trimming up any bits that seem a bit dry.

Do my own manicures once a week. Nails are only painted for very short periods when I feel like it. Would like to have a pedicure now my feet seem such a long way away but never get around to it. Toenails are only painted for Summer sandals.

Apart from cream to battle the dryness of my skin that's it really. Oh and a bit of Dove self-tan to stop me looking like a ghost in the Summer.

I know a woman who is in her late 70s or early 80s, at a guess. She always looks absolutely perfect - hair, nails, outfit, jewellery, shoes etc.

I once met her early in the morning, when I was collecting a prescription and she looked just as perfect then.

I would love to know what her regime involves.

I am lost in admiration for her. She is a lovely person too.

I think all these little pamper sessions just make you feel good for a little while - it soon wears off !

Well I reckon they increase your lifespan!
I sold my salon when I was 63 and started working from my converted garage. I fully expected to be doing very little after 5years. Not a bit of it!
Women who have ‘maintenance’ treatments seem to go on and on. I carried on working harder than I thought for longer.
I’m not complaining.
I’m away next week so have just done my waxing , Eye brow tint and feet but will have a facial whilst I’m away. I can’t do that myself and I love them.

I'm a cheap date - nothing other than the hairdresser..
I have had the occasional manicure, pedicure or facial in the past, so might consider these again, but a body massage is a no for me. I do not leave feeling relaxed at all.

Crumbs... I'm high maintenance too. Hair cut highlights every 6weeks. Pedicure and nails every 6 weeks. Eyelashes dyed every 6-8 weeks. Microcurent facial every 4weeks.
Plus...daily facial creams and body lotion. Spa trips a couple of times a year as well.
When it's written down it's rather a lot! 😳

Apart from the hair, I don’t have anything done.

And the pockets a bit lighter😂

Hair cut every five weeks by hairdresser who visits me.
That’s it.
I have never had anything else done.
No manicure, pedicure , facial, massage, ever, not even once, nothing.
Oh goodness, I feel I have neglected myself totally now.

In the past my hair has usually been long .
It's so tricky to cut being curly.
I've given up .
I let it dry naturally and put it up .
I trim it myself and use Nutrisse to colour it .
I used to have fake tans as I'm so pale .
I used to have fake nails now I don't due to gardening and art workv. I do like and admire them but I've ripped off too many.

I would like a pedicure !
As it's almost sandal season .
I was just about to book one when the skin on my feet has become touchy from wearing trainers day in and day out .
I'll get some flip-flops in Primark today and let the skin recover.

Otherwise I just use baby lotion to clean my skin then apply Nivea and sum block .
Delay my make up until the cream settles.
Then a sweep of bronzer - no more heavy foundations some eye make up and lipstick.
I find that before I leave that a tissue is needed just to take off any excess .
Wearing heavy foundations can look ageing and unnatural. It settles in any wrinkles .
I tried something different a few years ago and have stuck with it.
Most people think that I look about 25 -30 years younger than my real age .
Then they see me walk !

Nothing! DD1 cuts my hair about every 3 months and that is it. I am always busy in the garden so see no point in doing anything with my nails, I just keep them short. I have never had a mani or a pedi, and hate the thought of anyone giving me massage or facials. I have fairly oily skin so don't bother with creams or lotions apart from Factor 50.
I have my fair share of wrinkles and age spots, but not bothered about looking my age, which will be 80 next month.

Cossy last time with one of my daughter in laws we had a ground floor garden room, it was delightful, apart from being woken up by the ducks…

Cossy
Hair not ha!

Also, which I forgot, the three or four times a year, day spa.

I’ve also been in the past, checked into Randal’s (once) Champney’s (a good few times) and hotels with spas.
Have you been to The Lifehouse?“

I have indeed, in fact several times, few overnights, more days, I have a long standing dear friend who lives in Frinton who was a member for several years! I love the grounds (if you can avoid the duck poo 🤣🤣)

I tend not to do much at all, daughter trims my hair and I buy lovely soaps and balms from a local bee keeper!
My ensuite lightbulb recently blew, and when I returned home after a morning around town realised that I'd applied cherry red lip liner as an eyebrow pencil
No one mentioned it, and I did wonder if it was in fact a thing now.....

Hair cut, pedicure, eyebrows, and hydra facial twice a year.

Hairdressers every 6 weeks for highlights, alternating between T section and full head. A cut every 3rd visit. Wash and blow dry every visit.

Hair cut and blow dry every five /six weeks. No colour.
Manicure and gel polish every three weeks. Pedicure with gel polish a few times in the summer months.
I always use cleanser , tone , moisturiser each day and eye cream each night.
I occasionally enjoy a facial and hot stone massage .

Hair cut every 5 weeks …that’s it nothing else

Hairdresser for a weekly wash and blow, colour every four weeks, cut whenever it gets too long.

Nails every four weeks for gel polish, toes once or twice a year.

That’s it. I don’t like spas, being massaged or having my face done, I used to have my legs waxed but no longer have any hair on them so no need any more.

I hate going to the hairdresser's, so I have it cut every few months. Manicure and gel polish every month, pedicure and gel polish once or twice a year. Make-up most days.

Hair cut and blow dry every 8 to 10 weeks. Am quite a nice grey so no colour.
I cut my finger nails as I like them short and have started going to a podiatrist as cutting my toe nails properly is tricky now and had a slight ingrown nail.
That's it. Have been disappointed in the rare facial.
I would like to try reflexology...approx̌imately how much per session? What are the benefits you find? So another one low maintenance.

Hair cut and colour every eight weeks, nails every 3 to 4 weeks, toe nails when i go on holiday, facial if someone buys me a voucher for Christmas or birthday.

Haircut every 6 ish weeks.

Natural Ash blonde but thinning so good cut.
Facial - once every one or two months, and have learnt what to do from her so have the creams and exfoliant to follow what she does.

Used to eyelash dye but got blepharitis now so can't do that. Do eye exercises which do help eyelid muscles.

Do occasional facial yoga at the gym when I remember. It's good for necks. Tightens muscles that might flap, to put it in a basic way.

Hair cut every 5-6 weeks. Colour done every other appt. I have had occasional pedicures but not regularly . Haven’t had anything else for years.
