Fashion and Beauty Tips for an arm cast

So when you have an accident that results in a broken hand, there are unexpected consequences.  Quite apart from you know, the pain and the inability to have a shower without a plastic bag.

It seriously affects your fashion choices and even your beauty regime.  Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Fashion and Beauty Tips with an arm cast | how to get dressed

• Wear soft pants that you can pull on and off with one hand
• Oversized tops and soft dresses are perfect
• Stretchy headbands, beanies and the like will save you from having to do your hair
• Buttons are not your friend
• Zippers aren’t on your Christmas card list either
• A soft bra is your new BFF.  I’m in love with my Bonds Bra Tank.
• Check the width of your sleeves – try something with a stretchy cuff
• Jersey, waffle knit and oversized stretchy knit fabrics are the bomb
• Stay away from complicated suck ’em in knickers that need two hands to put on
• Now is not the time to relive your youth and rock a bodysuit
• Comfortable shoes that you can kick off easily without buckles or laces are what you need
• Ankle boots with a wide opening that you don’t need two hands to pull on
• Use an old scarf as a sling for a little instant glamour update

• Treat yourself to a professional blowdry – showering is tricky, washing your hair is almost impossible.  Styling it isn’t easy.  Luckily my curls air dry beautifully.
• Dry shampoo can be sprayed onto your roots with one hand and then worked through with one hand.  Totes stops you being stinky and greasy too. Awesome.
• Squirt your skincare directly onto your face and smooth into the skin with the other hand
• Apply your makeup directly to your brush before applying to your skin.
• Fliptop bottles are so much easier to use with one hand than screw top bottles
• Holding your deodorant spray can upside down means you can apply deodorant to both armpits – I’ll bet you’re trying to see if you can do it now, right?
• Skin cleansing is a breeze with micellar water – just pop a couple of cotton pads on your bathroom counter, squirt some micellar water on and cleanse your skin.  Click for my Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water review.
• Double duty products like a BB Cream, tinted lip balm and lip & cheek creme come in really handy when you’re one handed yet don’t want to look like a corpse.
