Self-care has forever been one of our favorite hobbies, but we understand that recharging and putting yourself first can look different to everyone. Ask them to share their Sunday routines, the hardworking beauty products they recommend to friends, and the TV shows they’re currently obsessed with…
This week we’re talking about former TOWIE star and mother of one, Lydia Bright. The 31-year-old regularly posts her high street outfit inspiration, her collaborations with big brands, and her work. Adorable Adventures with 2 year old Loretta. The most iconic duo, honestly.
She’s also a proud Avon ambassador, stressing that you don’t have to spend a fortune on beauty products to get really great results. (but more on that in a moment!)
Lydia chats just to rave about recommended books, self-care routines, and beauty budgets she recommends to her friends…
About self-care
“I think self-care comes in many forms,” Lydia tells Heat.
So how does the star spend her ideal self-care afternoon?
“Working out is so important to my mental health and I think of it as self-care because I’m just taking care of my body. If you’re going to be spending some time on yourself in the afternoon, definitely work out and then , I might use the gym’s steam room and sauna.. Then when I get home, a bath is a must. After that, I do all the steps in my skin care routine.
“I do my skincare routine morning and night, but if I had an afternoon, I could do everything from cleansing, toning, serums, face masks, moisturizers, and more. Then I like to lounge in my pajamas and watch a little Netflix.
“I rarely take an entire afternoon off, but I like to do as much self-care as I can, even if it’s my morning or evening routine.”
About skin care
“I’ve always had a really good skincare routine. I’ve always been religious to make sure I cleanse every morning, tone and moisturize, and remove all makeup before I go to bed.” To.
“When I was younger, I struggled a bit with hormonal breakouts, so I’m really into it. And now, as I get older, I struggle less with breakouts, but I want to keep my skin looking great.” I’ve always been into it and really enjoyed testing new products all the time.
What hero skin care products does Lydia always recommend to her friends?
“One product that I really fell in love with is the Avon Anew Renewal Protinol Power Serum (22 lbs). I’m so lucky to be in. I’m talking to scientists about a secret ingredient called Protinol.
“I was always excited to try active ingredients like retinol and hyaluronic acid, but I have sensitive skin so I have to be careful. So I started incorporating serums into my morning and night routine. I love it. Definitely I’m particularly affordable, so tell your friends about it.
“It has so many anti-aging benefits and personally, my skin feels plumper and more hydrated. I think it’s a great product. It’s also one of Avon’s best sellers!”
Brb, buy it on Bucket Road.
buy beauty on a budget
“I wore Avon True Ultra Satin Lipstick (£8) in the shade ‘Pout’ in an Instagram ad. The price is affordable and it can be used for a long time, and it can be used for multiple purposes and can also be used as a cheek! ”
About Fake Tan Favorites
“So far I love the Tanologist Self Drops (£11.90). Just add a few drops to your moisturizer and use on your face and body. Not the cheapest fake tan, but all you need is a few drops at a time. So a small amount works for me, and it always gives me great results.
“Besides, winter is about to start, so my skin will be very dry, and faux tan obviously dries out my skin. It looks really drying. I love the drops because you can mix them with a really thick moisturizer for a really nourishing fake tan…a week.”
about really good books
“I read a lot, and I prefer fiction to self-help books and such. My favorite author at the moment is probably Colleen Hoover. In fact, I’m currently reading one of her books.” I am reading the truth.
“I read It Ends With Us earlier this year and it is honestly the best book I have ever read. I love reading books. Books.”
About daily health habits
Are there any daily routines that Lydia likes to incorporate into her routine to help her feel her best self?
“I always try to exercise every day. When I’m parenting and I know that me and Loretta lead really active lives, I usually train three times a week. I think that’s really important.
“I’m also trying to limit my screen time. Obviously, my work is on my phone and my laptop, so it’s pretty hard for me. But I’m trying to limit it, and WhatsApp and Instagram I think it’s good for my health to be on my phone all the time.My daughter is the same.We are always outside, active and immersed in different experiences. I have very little free time.”
with great advice
What’s the best piece of advice Liz received recently? Spoiler alert: It’s none other than her mother, TV legend Debbie Bright.
“So now I live with my parents. Three months ago I planned to sell my property and move to a new property, but it all fell through. And last week, after being very heartbroken, ,I lost this property but found a new one.I have always believed that everything happens for a reason.Recently my mother gave me a very nice word.It is I think it really struck a chord, and something even better could fall together.
I need it on my t-shirt soon.
Rapid fire rounds:
What program are you watching now? I recently got hooked on Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story on Netflix and have been having nightmares. After watching the episode, you have to read the fluffy love story!
How about a kappa? I drink tea and have Yorkshire tea bags, usually hard water as it is very strong. Leave the tea bag in for at least a minute, then add a drop of soy milk.
What is your go-to brand for loungewear? I love wearing matching pajamas with Loretta. Chelsea Peers are my favourite. It’s not a lie. She probably has 15 pairs of pajamas.
Favorite face mask? We love the FOREO UFO 2 device (£198). You can put on a variety of sheet masks and it only takes 2 minutes.
Takeaway order? i love sushi I have my little one too and I really don’t like her eating bad food. Loretta’s favorite dish is actually black cod. She loves adult food, it’s so weird!
Favorite candle? Avon just launched a candle with a copper feel (£5) and it smells incredible and for good reason. Raised funds. They are doing great things for breast cancer awareness.
Lydia Bright partnered with Avon to launch the Switch and Save campaign, revealing beauty spending habits in a country in cost-of-living crisis. I spend £1,365 on it, but I admit to using only a quarter of the product. Avon wants to show that you don’t have to compromise on quality to streamline your spending.
