If you’re feeling glum, try one of these little cosmetic rituals to perk yourself up in no time at all.

-Apply moisturiser all over your body. Touch is comforting, even if it’s your own hands, and the sensory experience of massaging lotion into your skin from top to toe will make you feel pampered to boot.

-Spritz yourself with your favourite fragrance – scent evokes powerful memories, so if you have a special occasion scent, go for that one.

-Slap on your favourite bright lipstick. Not only will wearing a bright colour make you look more alive, but you’re likely to feel more confident and you’re likely to reel in a couple of compliments while you’re at it!
