LOCKDOWN can take its toll on our moods. It is too easy to veg out and not feel so great about yourself when stuck indoors.

But a little self-care can help and while beauticians’ and hairdressers’ salons might be closed, a little DIY pampering can work wonders for your spirits.

Try these beauty bargains for a little DIY pampering during lockdown

Here are some great deals up for grabs . . . 

A LITTLE BOOST: When I’m a little down in “normal” times, I often treat myself to a facial. Obviously, with lockdown that isn’t happening.

But I recently discovered the Magnitone LiftOff. It’s a great at-home device that plumps and perks up the face in under five minutes using microcurrents.

A salon would charge at least £70 and similar at-home devices can cost around £160. But the Magnitone is just £50 at Boots, down from £90.
SAVE: £40

NAILED IT: I love getting gel nails and not having to worry about re-doing them every few days.

I have been using the Elite99 Gel Starter Kit, £26.99 at Amazon. That is far cheaper than similar kits for £89 and has everything you need for multiple manicures.

A single manicure costs me £28 every two weeks, so this is well worth it in the long run.
SAVE: £62.01

HAIR WE GO: Luxurious locks can be had with an at-home hair mask, made using ingredients from your food cupboard. Combine one egg with a cup of milk, a dash of lemon juice and 2 tbsp of olive oil.

Soak your hair in the mix, then wash out. This is far cheaper than a mask at the hairdresser, and the Kérastase Nutritive Hair Mask, loved by celebs, for £27.35 at allbeauty.com.
SAVE: £27.35

GOT YOU SALTED: Nothing beats a relaxing soak in the tub, does it? An Epsom salt bath is just the thing to soothe aching limbs, whether from being cooped up or from a long run.

And at lloydspharmacy. co.uk you can nab 1kg for £2.49, down from £4.99.
SAVE: £2.50
