Being in lockdown is an uncertain and confusing time for us all. Being unable to leave the house may cause us to forget about personal hygiene grooming and good mental and physical health because after all, no-one is going to see us. However, it is actually important to maintain a routine and sense of normality during this time, to avoid feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, anxiety or stress. 

An important part of a daily routine is to clean and groom oneself. While it may be tempting to forego these aspects, it is scientifically proven that maintaining good personal hygiene boosts self-esteem, allowing for confidence and pride, and a good start to the day.

With FINO, you can remain healthy and happy, and come out of lockdown looking just as good as before!

USEFULL TIPS TO ADD TO YOUR DAILY ROUTINE 
 
Firstly make some ground rules for your space if you are sharing.  This is important and will allow you all to remain calm
 
If you’re alone make sure you have some friends to check in with daily. If you know someone who is alone chat to them daily.
