Sick days are no fun at all. In light of the situation, however, here are six of my favourite remedies and products to help alleviate some of the pain that comes with being ill:
1. Oatmeal
Sprinkle a cup of rolled oats into your nightly bath to help soothe discomforted skin. Oats are a great way to calm down angry and dry patches, and also works as a gentle cleanser for your face: take a handful of oats, run it under lukewarm water and squeeze the excess liquid out of your palms. Then, massage the saturated oats onto your skin, focusing on parts of the face, e.g. red, dry nose, that need some particular TLC.
This a light floral candle, with notes of mokara orchid, white lily and spring moss. The burn is strong enough for congested noses like mine to pick up, yet subtle and unoffensive to those sensitive to candles.
This thick balm has time and time again saved my nose's life! When my nose becomes dry and irritated from constant contact with tissues, I take a pea-sized amount and dab it around my nose before bed. In the morning, my nose is refreshed and ready to take on the tissues again.
4. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash- Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub
I find using bright, citrus-y cleansers particularly rejuvenating when I am ill. Additionally, using a gentle scrub is good to rid the skin of any dead skin cells. This scrub works as a two-in-one as a cleanser and light exfoliator, making my skincare process simpler when I don't have the energy to deal with too much.
5. Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX
After I cleanse my face, I look to something no fuss and simple so I can hit the hay as soon as possible. I slather a dollop of this hydrating mask onto my face, and have reassurance my skin will be good as new in the morning.
6. Water!
This needs no explanation. I use my blender bottle because the mouth cap is the perfect size for guzzling, it's portable, and I can pop in some lemon slices if I want to.
