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.

I’m linking with the 30+ Style & Beauty Link Up Party, hosted by that fabulous babe, Rachel from Redcliffe Style.
