If you need a free, fast pick-me-up, this idea is for you…

Today I’m bringing you my favourite beauty hack!

Obviously it’s lovely to have beautiful facial products and loads of dough to spend on them, but long ago I learned a trick that works wonders.

And it’s free.

Every night, AFTER I wash off my makeup with cleanser, I wet a facecloth with hot water, wring it out and use it to exfoliate my face. Scrub gently in circular motions. I do this in the morning, too. If your skin is super sensitive, adjust the pressure accordingly. I love using a very soft, thin facecloth — less bulky to wring out, and easier to handle.

It feels fabulous and you’ll be shocked by how soft and smooth your skin becomes. Trust me. Facecloth exfoliation on a regular basis makes a huge difference to skin.

Now might be a really good time to take a little extra care of yourself, and I hope this tip helps whatever your current circumstances. I know how hard job loss can be (having lived through it in the past), and I understand fear and worry about the future all too well. Sending you lots of positive vibes during this tricky time. I hope you and yours are keeping well.

Love Catherine x
