The routine, area by area

Here's when and how to use the products, written as recipes. Start with one area, and add another once the first has become a habit. Always read the instructions and safety advice for each product too.

I

Eyes

Groomed brows and lifted lashes do the most for your gaze. Ten minutes a week and one minute in the morning.

You'll need

Goes well with caffeine eye serum, Volufiline serum and lash and brow tint.

Every morning 2 minutes

  1. Hold the ice roller under your eyes for 30 to 60 seconds. Move it out towards your temple, never in towards the eye. Cold can reduce puffiness.
  2. If you use it, pat a small amount of caffeine eye serum in with your ring finger.
  3. Does the area under your eyes look hollow? Shake the Volufiline serum and pat a small amount on after moisturiser, before sunscreen.
  4. Place the eyelash curler right at the base of your lashes. Squeeze gently for ten seconds, then release.

Every week 10 minutes

  1. Brush your brows straight up with the comb on the brow scissors.
  2. Trim only the hairs that stick out beyond the natural shape. Cut a little at a time.
  3. Pluck single hairs under the arch with the tweezers, in the direction of growth. Leave the top of the brow alone.
  4. Use the brow razor only on stray hairs between the brows.

Every four to six weeks optional

  1. Do an allergy test with the tint 48 hours beforehand, every time.
  2. Clean your brows of oil and make-up. Apply the tint with the brush.
  3. Leave it on for the time given in the instructions, then wipe it off.

Good to know

  • Keep cold, serum and tint away from the eye itself.
  • Replace the pads on the eyelash curler when they get hard. Spare pads are included.

II

Jaw & cheekbones

The chewing muscles are trained like any other muscle: a little resistance, often, with rest in between. In the morning, add cold and massage.

You'll need

Goes well with Chios mastic.

Every day 5–15 minutes

  1. Place the jaw trainer between your back teeth on one side.
  2. Chew slowly and with control. Start with five minutes, and build up to ten to fifteen minutes over a few weeks.
  3. Switch sides halfway. Rinse the trainer with water after use.

Prefer to chew something natural? Chios mastic: one or two small pieces for ten to twenty minutes, once a day. At first, use either mastic or the trainer on the same day, not both.

Every morning 5 minutes

  1. Cool your face with the ice roller for one to two minutes. Start in the middle of your chin and roll out along the jaw.
  2. Apply a few drops of serum or face oil so the stone glides easily.
  3. Hold the gua sha stone almost flat against the skin. Stroke from the chin out along the jaw and up towards the ear, five times on each side.
  4. Do the same from the side of the nose out over the cheekbone, and finish with light strokes down the neck.

Good to know

  • Stop if you feel pain, clicking or soreness in the jaw. Talk to your dentist if you have jaw joint problems.
  • Light pressure is enough with gua sha. Your skin shouldn't feel sore.
  • Wash the stone and the trainer with mild soap and water.

III

Hair

Good hair is mostly about care: the right tool for wet and dry hair, and a scalp that gets a little attention once a week.

You'll need

Goes well with biotin.

Every day

  1. Comb wet hair with the comb. Start at the ends and work up towards the roots.
  2. Brush dry hair with the brush. Wood gives less static than plastic.
  3. If you take biotin: take the recommended daily dose with water, ideally with a meal.

Once a week Scalp

  1. Wash and dry your scalp. Disinfect the dermastamp with surgical spirit and let it air-dry.
  2. Press the stamp down lightly four to five times in the same spot, lift it and move on until you've covered the area. Don't press hard.
  3. Disinfect the stamp again and put the cap back on.

Good to know

  • The stamp has a fixed needle length of 0.25 mm and can be used on the scalp, beard and face.
  • The dermastamp is for adults aged 18 and over. Don't use it on irritated skin, wounds or spots, and don't share it.
  • Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet.

IV

Skin

Skincare is mostly about order and patience. Use a few products regularly rather than many now and then.

You'll need

Goes well with hyaluronic acid serum, retinol serum and azelaic acid serum.

Every morning

  1. Rinse or cleanse your face.
  2. Ice roller or gua sha for two to five minutes. See how under Jaw & cheekbones.
  3. Hyaluronic acid on damp skin, then moisturiser.
  4. Sunscreen last, especially if you use retinol or azelaic acid.

Every evening

  1. Cleanse your face and pat it dry.
  2. Retinol two to three evenings a week to start with, then build up gradually. Azelaic acid can be used on the other evenings.
  3. Moisturiser last.

One or two evenings a week Dermastamp

  1. Disinfect the dermastamp and cleanse your face.
  2. Press the stamp down lightly four to five times in the same spot over your forehead, cheeks and chin, then move on. Keep away from your eyes and lips.
  3. Finish with hyaluronic acid. Don't use retinol or azelaic acid on the same evening.
  4. Disinfect the stamp again and put the cap back on.

Once a week you can also use pore strips on your nose. See how under Nose.

Good to know

  • It often takes several weeks before you see a difference. Judge the result after six to eight weeks.
  • Test new products on a small patch of skin first.
  • Retinol is for adults aged 18 and over, and not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The dermastamp is for adults aged 18 and over.

V

Nose

Three small habits keep your nose tidy and make it easier to breathe through it, at night and during training.

You'll need

Every evening Just before you sleep

  1. Wash and dry the bridge of your nose.
  2. Place the nasal strip in the middle of your nose, just above the nostrils, and press the ends down firmly.
  3. Put the mouth tape on clean, dry lips. Peel it off gently in the morning.

The nasal strips can also be used during training.

The Night Pack Mouth tape + Nasal breathing strips
£22.87£25.98

Once a week

  1. Switch on the nose hair trimmer and guide it gently into the nostril. Move it in small circles, and trim only the hairs that show. Clean the blade afterwards.
  2. Wet your nose with water and apply a pore strip. Press it down firmly.
  3. Leave the strip to dry for ten to fifteen minutes, then peel it off gently.

Good to know

  • Don't use mouth tape if you have a blocked nose, sleep apnoea or breathing problems. Ask your GP if you're unsure.
  • Don't use pore strips on irritated, sore or sunburnt skin, and no more than once a week.

VI

Neck

Train your neck like the rest of your body: low weight, controlled movements and gradual progress.

You'll need

Two to three times a week After training

  1. Adjust the harness so it sits securely on your head, with the chain at the front.
  2. Attach a light weight plate or a resistance band. Start lighter than you think.
  3. Stand bent forward with your hands on your thighs. Lower your head slowly, then lift it back to a neutral position.
  4. Three sets of twelve to fifteen slow reps. Only increase the weight once it feels easy.

Good to know

  • Stop if you feel pain, numbness or dizziness. Talk to a physiotherapist if you have neck problems.

VII

Height

The height insoles add extra height in ordinary shoes. Your feet need a few days to get used to them.

You'll need

The first week

  1. Put the height insoles in your shoes with the thick part at the back under the heel, ideally under the shoe's own insole.
  2. Choose shoes with plenty of room around the heel, such as boots or high-top trainers.
  3. Wear them for a few hours a day in the first week, and build up gradually.

Good to know

  • If your feet, heels or knees start to ache, take a break.
  • The insoles don't change your body, only how high you stand in the shoe.
