5 High-Maintenance Things We do to Stay Low-Maintenance

We have the inside scoop to maintaining that fresh look, gleaned from years in the beauty business.

We’ll let you in on a secret…… Those people who look put together with no effort 24/7 are NOT ‘low-maintenance’, they are simply organised, proactive, and have a tried and tested self-care routine! 

But don’t worry, today we are getting you in the know and sharing how you can achieve the same effect in 5 simple steps! Join us as we share five high-maintenance things to do to stay low-maintenance.

 

01. Lash Lifts 

The secret to looking bright eyed with no effort required! A Lash Lift will perm the lashes from straight to curled, altering the shape so that the full length of the lash hairs are visible giving you a fresh and awake look. 

Top Tip: Add a Lash Tint for that ‘Mascara’ look. Best recommended to leave at least 5-6 weeks between each treatment to maintain optimal health of the lashes!


02. Skincare 

Investing in a good skincare routine that works for you is the best way to ensure a low-maintenance beauty routine. Find products that help you to maintain that glow from within. We recommend the Azulen Cream Mask from Dr. Spiller which is oil based so keeps the skin hydrated into its deepest layers. 

Remember: plenty of water and a balanced diet also contribute to the overall appearance of your skin!


03. Lip Stains

Applying a lip stain to the lips with your makeup or on bare skin means you don’t have to reapply lipstick or gloss over and over throughout the day. Our favourite is the Classic Benetint by Benefit, a beautiful pink that lasts for hours, all you need for shine is a hydrating lip balm to create that glossy lip look AND to maintain lip health! 

Top Tip: For a no-makeup look, pop some on the cheeks as blush too!


04. Facials

Much like a reliable skincare routine, investing in regular facials will help to deep clean the skin, clearing out the unwanted extras and leaving you refreshed and squeaky clean! Our favourite is the Detox Facial at SOAK, which when done regularly keeps congestion at bay, giving you hassle free skin and a beautiful base for makeup.

PS: we love adding on a Specialty Mask to help keep the skin balanced!


05. Gradual Tan

Add a gradual tan like our favourite from Three Warriors into your daily body care routine. You’ll have a beautiful ‘lit from within’ glow that will look natural - no European holiday required! 

You can shop the Three Warriors Range in salon at SOAK.
