Beat Blue Monday With Our Self Care Essentials

Supposedly calculated by Sky Travel as part of a PR stunt, Blue Monday is said to be an amalgamation of the wintery weather, unpaid debts from the festive season, the failing of our new year’s resolutions, and low motivational levels. With all of that in mind, it’s no wonder it’s been long hailed as the most depressing day of the year!

But here at Face the Future, we’re all about those positive, uplifting vibes that keep us looking and feeling amazing - no matter what day of the year it is. So, grab your favourite drink, prepare a snack, and get cosy while we tell you all about the gorgeous self-care essentials we know you'll love that will help pull you through those January blues in a haze of tranquility.
