Self-care will forever be our favourite hobby but we appreciate that recharging and putting yourself first looks different for everyone. Each week, we'll ask the celeb lot to share their ideal self-care Sunday routines, the hard-working beauty products they recommend to their friends and which TV show they're currently binging…
This week it's all about Olivia Attwood, the absolute legend who stole our hearts during Love Island series three. Since then she's become a national treasure thanks to her TV presenting gigs, becoming a Loose Women regular and forever making us LOL with her hilarious, chart-topping podcast, So Wrong It's Right where guests include everyone from Katie Price to husband Bradley Dack.
We caught up with Olivia to talk tanning tips, daily wellness habits and the £9 everyday skin tint that's a 'dupe for Charlotte Tilbury'...
On fake tan
"I'm a big fake tan gal, I keep my face out of the sun so I need a good tan. I'm a Bondi Sands girl and always go for the dark mousse, £9.49. I typically do whole body and face twice a week and try and spread it out. If I've got a big night out, I'll do it the night before, but on average I do it twice a week.
"I use the mousse for my face too, you basically pump it onto your mitt, get an old make-up brush and just buff it on."
On handbag beauty essentials
If we were going to peak inside Liv's handbag, what are the beauty bits we'd find?
"You're always going to find a really good quality moisturiser because I've got really dry skin, a lip balm… I love Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream, £12 because you can put it everywhere."
On make-up tips
Olivia is renowned for her glowy and glam make-up looks and told us her ultimate tips for elevating your current routine. The secret? Don't forget to prime.
"No make-up is great until you've primed your skin. So start with clean, exfoliated skin and a great primer that suits your skin. My skin is on the drier side so I use a heavier primer. I think the way you set your make-up is going to make a big difference to how it lasts all day. It's so important not to overdo powders and stuff because very matte skin is quite ageing so I try and keep it on the dewier side.
"I love Weleda Skin Food, £8.54 as a primer, but recently I've got into the Hourglass Vanish Primer, £24. Everyone's raving about it. I kept going to Sephora and couldn't get it, so when I saw it at the airport, I snatched it and that has taken the front seat for now - I'm very obsessed.
"Oh and brown mascara, it's so much softer than black. I use the YSL Brown Mascara, £24.65 and the brush is huge, it's gorgeous."

On budget beauty buys
"I love the Maybelline 4-in-1 Glow, £9.50 - it's basically a skin tint and it's a complete dupe for Charlotte Tilbury"
"It's something between a foundation and a highlighter, it's amazing. You can literally mix it with your foundation or base. It's half the price of Charlotte Tilbury and it's really, really good."
On daily wellness habits
"So every day, I start my morning by boiling the kettle but I drink it medium warm, and I make a pint of water with half a lemon squeezed in it, a teaspoon of Celtic sea salt and a teaspoon of creatine. Honestly, it's a game-changer.
"The lemon helps your body alkalise. The Celtic sea salt is natural, we wake up every day dehydrated and all our muscles are just dry. Some people are like, 'I drink two litres of water a day and I still have a dry mouth. I'm still feeling dehydrated, I'm weeing, weeing, weeing.' The salt basically helps your muscles to bring the water in.
"Then Creatine is one of the oldest, tried and tested workout aids on the market. It doesn't make you bulky, it doesn't make you hold water, it just helps you grow muscle. When you put it in warm water it makes it more absorbable.
"It's essentially making a natural electrolyte and Chinese medicine tells us to always start the day with warm water not cold. Iced coffee first thing in the morning is a big no."
On life-changing books
"Everyone says it, but I really like The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, £10.98 and then The Magic, £7.83. I've read them both at least twice."
On bedtime routines
"I do enjoy a pillow spray and my husband fucking hates it! I love the This Works Pillow Spray, £20 and as soon as I spray it my mind is like, 'Okay, now it's sleep time.' It goes in Brad's eyes, he can't breathe and he's coughing for life. But yes, that's an essential for me."
"Also, I swear by silk pillowcases. My nan told me, my nan is like 90 and she told me how a silk pillowcase helps the perm last longer. That's a big beauty hack. When you do it you never go back. I travel with one at all times and it causes a lot of entertainment for the crew when we're away filming documentaries. They're like, 'Why is your pillowcase blue?' I'm like, "I brought it from home!"
