Following a routine is good to establish some form of structure, discipline, and productivity in our daily lives, especially when we’re caught up in life’s clutter and busyness. But in the last few days, our routines may have become mundane and demotivating because we’ve pretty much been doing the same thing, talking to the same people, and staring at the same walls every day.
We know how emotionally draining this can be as well, and some of you may have even stopped bothering to groom yourself altogether since you’re staying at home most of the time. We totally get it. No judgement here.
On the other hand, taking good care of yourself as soon as you get out of bed can actually make you feel a lot better.
And if you’re looking for products to pamper yourself with—and chase the mehness away, here are some essential daily items to try out:
#1 Green Pharmacy Gentle Facial Wash Gel (270ml)
The best thing to do first thing in the morning is to wash your face. It’s an instant pick-me-up, making you feel fresh since your sleep schedule is probably all messed up by now, just like this facial wash gel that’s made in Europe.

This product is mild and gentle to the skin. If you have dry and sensitive skin, you can go for the Aloe formula, which contains aloe extract that can soothe dry, irritated, and inflamed skin.
For those with oily and combination skin, you can try the Green Tea formula that has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. This natural method is a better way to treat breakouts as well.

#2 Green Pharmacy Soothing Gel for Intimate Hygiene (300ml)
Stepping into your regular shower routine, you may forget about different parts of your body, such as the private areas. Intimate hygiene and care can also give you an overall clean and fresh feeling that lifts your mood right away.

#3 Byphasse 4-in-1 Micellar Make Up Remover Solution (500ml)
