We all know self-care isn’t just a trend – it’s essential. But with an ever-growing list of products, routines, and rituals, how do you cut through the noise and find what really works? That’s where beauty editor–approved wisdom comes in. And even better? You can now customise your self-care experience to suit you with ROCCABOX’s Build Your Own Box.

The BYOB concept is simple: choose 5 premium products from a curated selection of cult favourites and expert-loved heroes, and build a beauty box that’s completely tailored to your skincare, makeup, and self-care goals.

Ready to upgrade your routine like a beauty editor would? Here are 5 self-care tips, with product picks you can hand-select into your own BYOB.

1. Always Double Cleanse – Especially After SPF + City Days

Why it matters: Beauty editors swear by the double cleanse to properly remove dirt, makeup, and pollution. It’s the first step in any serious skincare routine.

BYOB Pick: Try a gentle cream or balm cleanser first followed by a gel cleanser, and use a gentle toner to ensure everything is fully removed. You can find the Votary Daily Apple Toner over at our personalised BYOB.

2. Focus On Your Skin

Why it matters: We all have different skin types, and the key is to chose your products to tailor to your skin type. For example, dehydrated skin can lead to dullness, breakouts, and premature ageing. The key? Layering lightweight, hydration-boosting products that don’t clog pores. 

BYOB Pick: If you have dull, aging, or textured skin, add a retinol or retinyl serum to your beauty box. One like the Disciple Dreamy Skin Retinyl Night Oil, that smooths and clears too.

3. Don’t Skip Eye Care

Why it matters: The delicate eye area is the first place to show signs of fatigue and ageing. Editors know that targeted care here goes a long way.

BYOB Pick: Choose an eye serum or cooling eye mask to depuff, brighten, and revive tired eyes – perfect for busy mornings or self-care Sundays. You can even go a step further and think about your makeup prep, with the Teez Cosmetics Suit of Armor Battle Prep Eye Primer. 

4. A Pop of Colour = Instant Confidence Boost

Why it matters: Sometimes, the quickest route to feeling good is through a little colour. Editors love a product that makes an impact with minimal effort.

BYOB Pick: Go for a plumping lip gloss, multi-use cream blush, or polished nail colour for that feel-good hit in your everyday routine. We are loving the Manucurrist nail care range at the moment! 

5. Curate a Routine You Actually Look Forward To

Why it matters: Beauty routines shouldn't feel like a chore. The best experts treat skincare like a ritual – calming, indulgent, and personal.

BYOB Pick: Think mood-boosting aromatherapy mists, skin-softening oils, or overnight masks that feel like a treat, not a task.
