Over-indulging at Christmas and New Year is all too real. But all that food, fizz and festivities really do take their toll on our skin, so make January your month to recover from those complexion woes.
TIP 1 ... While you may have eaten your body weight in mince pies, it's easy to skip the odd meal or two to ditch those extra pounds. Missing out on food can lead to dehydration because digestion is one way our body hydrates itself. I created my range of Hydrogels for an instant beauty boost. They feed, water and repair skin, diminish blemishes, and minimise redness and inflammation. Opt for anti-ageing Orange Flower, rebalancing Peppermint soothing Chamomile.
TIP 1 ... Spending your days indoors with the radiators on full blast can remove oxygen from the air leaving your complexion looking lacklustre. Instead, wrap up warm in cosy layers, lower the heating by a degree or two, and apply a moisturiser to soothe skin. Thanks to its vitamin B content my Overnight Success Oxygen Cream releases oxygen to detoxify and replenish. Use at night time or during the day to keep acne at bay.
TIP 3 ... Too much dairy can lead to breakouts, eczema and psoriasis. So ditch those milky lattes and reach for Willowbee® Mask & Cleanse. It’s the first Heaven product that contains bark from the willow tree, a natural and organic alternative to aspirin. Because of these anti-inflammatory and healing properties it detoxes skin and heals imperfections.
TIP 4: Biting, cold wind can be really problematic at this time of the year so layer your products for extra protection. Think of it like this; layering a few lightweight tops will keep you warmer than one thick jumper because the air gets trapped between the layers and acts as an insulator. It’s similar with skincare, by layering a couple your moisturisers means your complexion gets extra benefits while using less product. Apply the thinnest cream first then finish with the thickest.
TIP 5 ... If you can't make it to the salon for a professional treatment, use Beel Peel. It increases the strength and elasticity of your skin, minimising the visibility of lines and dark spots. Use on clean, dry skin once a week and leave on for one to two minutes before washing off, depending on how sensitive your skin is; for a more intensive treatment use for three days then skip for three days.
