Detox before the Retox!

As Autumn moves into Winter, we are fast approaching the season of parties and twinkling lights, and the last thing you want is to feel anything but your best. So we’ve rounded up a host of ideas to keep your skin glowing and to have you looking and feeling on top form.

Drink and eat…well!

Don’t forget to drink! Water!! Two litres a day should keep you properly hydrated – heating can leave skin dehydrated and the body needs the water to help flush out toxins to keep you healthy and your skin refreshed.

Challenge yourself to a week of detox – no sugar, no processed foods and no alcohol – just fresh fruits, vegetables, lean protein and oily fish. Try a broad spectrum food supplement to make sure vitamin levels are optimised (we love Patrick Holfords Pro Vitality Formula).

Prepare well

They say that good preparation is the key to success…

Before you get into the shower, try body brushing – it stimulates blood flow, encourages circulation, increases lymphatic drainage and helps exfoliate dead skin cells – all perfect ways to reduce fluid retention (a key player in cellulite) and to optimise the skin for absorption of beneficial lotions and potions.

Mask are another great way to keep the skin glowing and healthy. The Jan Marini Papaya Enzyme mask utilises the rejuvenating properties of papaya and sloughs away dead cells to reveal bright and healthy skin. Image Skincare Vital C Hydrating Enzyme masque packs the skin with antioxidants for a super charged boost. Ask a member of the team to direct you to the best skin mask for your type of skin.
