I have been an avid lover of beauty products, tips and tricks and devices for many years. Over the past year, I have played around with it even more. I am by no means an expert in this field, but there are a few standout products and tips that I have come across which made a real difference to me.

Coconut oil. Say no more. There are so many benefits to this incredible organic product. It is really moisturising and can do so many wondrous things for your hair, nails, skin etc. I personally have been using it for shaving and found it works an absolute dream, the razor glides so easily through it and you can see what you’re doing better because it’s so clear. My legs feel so nourished and soft after using this. Plus it is super affordable which makes this product an absolute go-to for me.

4. Favourite random beauty find

Collagen tablets — I started taking this as an experiment. It didn’t work for what I intended it to, but it did make such a difference to the thickness and growth of my hair that I had to mention it. Even when I just take…
