Spring Skin Break

The days are getting longer, the sun is getting stronger and all around us we can see the evidence that Nature is awakening from her long winter slumber. Although we may not be as obviously responsive as nature to the changing seasons, we are also awakening from the hibernation of winter and preparing for increased activity in the coming months.
This is the time of renewal and revitalisation.
Now is the time to make changes, to break old habits and patterns that we would like to be rid of and to make a new start.
Now is also a good time to start ‘spring cleaning’ the body. Start your ‘New Spring Skin’ regime about 6-8 weeks before you plan on ‘exposing all’ to the world to give your skin a chance to renew itself…in the process, you’ll feel fresh and revitalised within and without.

Here are a few tips:

Less Coffee
Go for fresh fruit juices, herbal teas instead. Their nutrients feed the skin in vitamins and minerals and leave it sublimated and sensational.

Skin Scrubs
Getting rid of dead cells is the path way to a radiant skin. Once a week, give your face and body a deep scrubbing and exfoliating. It will smoothen and soften it.

Use Oil
Oil massaging is dry skin’s worst enemy. Massage along with aromatherapy, are used to increase circulation, facilitate the removal of toxins and soften tense muscles.

Rest your skin
Once a week indulge into applying a hydrating mask on your face and sleeping with it. Rested skin glows.

More Tea
For a good skin detox cure, drink several cups of green tea a day. Filled with antioxidants, it will strengthen the collagen contained in our skin.

Use Protection
Against Sun! A body lotion with a sun protection factor (min 15) shall do the job. Don’t forget: even when the sun does not burn, UVA on the other hand, are always there. Protect your eyes as well with sunglasses!
