FAQs

What tools do I need for a self-care routine?

Nothing is mandatory. A consistent habit matters more than gear. Optional: face cleanser, moisturiser, a roller or gua sha, a good pillow, and something for relaxation (e.g. tea, diffuser).

How do I stick to a self-care routine?

Keep it short (5–15 minutes), tie it to a fixed time (e.g. after brushing teeth), and add one thing at a time. Consistency beats intensity.

Where can I buy self-care and wellness products in the UK?

Amazon UK, Boots, and Holland & Barrett stock skincare, sleep aids, and wellness tools. Start small and build from what you enjoy.
