How to look put together when you’re sick

The last thing anybody wants to do when they’re ill is get ready.

Personally, I know I want to lay in bed and not shower for 3 days straight. Which is often what I do, but studies have actually proven that getting ready and upping your selfcare when sick actually leads to an increase in mood, self confidence and can improve your ability to focus and perform tasks.

So here are my favorite EASY tips that require MINIMAL EFFORT to get ready, look put together and polished while you’re feeling under the weather. And no, you don’t even need to shower if you’re not feeling up to it (although hot showers while sick have also been proven to treat uncomfortable symptoms of illness).

First, if you haven’t touched your hair in a couple of days, it’s greasy and you don’t want to shower. Grab some gel or hair wax and slick it back. It will stay put and it looks effortlessly sleek and sophisticated.

Second, grab some self tanner and contour with it. Add some to your forehead, cheek hollows and if you’re feeling utterly pale, throw some on the apples of your cheek. It will instantly give you a refreshed look AND will stay put for a few days so you don’t have to worry about a makeup routine.

Finally, grab a cute, but comfy outfit. I opt for oversized things that won’t make me feel compressed and will keep me warm. Do, however, try to match and make sure it’s clean. Wearing the same clothes you got sick in will be full of germs and probably stinky smells.

Doing these steps you’ll almost forget that you haven’t showered in 48 hours! And when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, you won’t be reminded that you feel miserable because you look clean and put together. (Even if you’re not)
