Getting out of the house for a beauty appointment can feel impossible, especially if you have a newborn that loves boobs and hates bottles.  

Hands up if you’ve had a pedi with a screaming baby on your lap.

Yeah, it’s not a vibe.

And while you can’t beat the feeling you get when you step into a salon (and someone else has the kids).

Thankfully at-home beauty has become more accessible to all, and new DIY treatments are mind-blowingly brilliant. 

Whether you hire in help or do it yourself, these are the best at-home beauty treatments.

Amanda Harrington Body Set

“I’m obsessed with this fake tan. I’ve tried a few other brands, and the colour often looks orange, fake or fades badly. The first time I used it, I couldn’t believe how natural it looked and how seamless the shading was. It looked like I’d had a professional spray tan. I had zero patching, and the soft brush made it easy to buff the colour on. The only downside is I needed my husband to help me do my back. They also do a face spray which gives you a natural bronze. It makes me feel more alive, and my skin looks instantly less tired. And everyone needs that, right?”

Manucurist Green Flash Kit

“Getting a gel manicure is one of the few regular things I like to do. But recently, the prices have skyrocketed, and it now seems such an indulgence to get it done all the time. I recently bought this after seeing a video on Instagram showing their little removal pods, and I’m now hooked. It’s saved me so much money, and it’s straightforward to use. The brand also uses natural, eco-friendly alternatives to keep your nails healthy, which makes me feel a lot happier about applying gels.”

Maria Nila Colour Refresh

“There’s a reason why colourists spend a lot of time training to do what they do, and while you can’t recreate highlighting and shade-mixing skills at home, you can refresh your hair without using something permanent. I’ve tried a LOT of colour washes, and this one is by far the best. The pigment is so strong, and the formula is gentle. It’s easy to use and one quick application mid-shower and you feel like a new you. It doesn’t cover greys, but it blends them, enriches my natural tone and enhances old highlights that I still have hanging around.”

Lixirskin The Colette Facial

“No time to get out of the house for a facial? No problem. This 30-min facial is the perfect touch of self-care. I especially love the vitamin C paste, which you can use separately as a morning express mask. The steps are easy to follow, and it leaves your skin feeling hydrated and dewy—an absolute dream after sleepless nights.”

BBB London At Home Brow Tint Kit

“Initially, I was apprehensive over using this and had visions of me creating large black caterpillars. But after using it, I’m completely converted. The kit comes with everything you need, including a patch test and also a barrier balm, which stops you from colouring unwanted areas. I could have done with a visual guide or video to see how thick you applied the cream, and I was slightly hesitant in application, which meant I ended up tinting my brows three times to get the desired shade. But I know for next time and I was so pleased with the natural-looking result. It lasted well over a week and meant I didn’t need to do my brows each day. Which, as a busy mum, is a huge help!”
