of my longstanding favourites on the bathroom shelf has been Liz Earles Skincare
System, and now I have to add her bodycare products to my must-have list.After
years of searching for a truly natural range for sensitive skin (many ranges that
claim to be 'natural' still contain harmful chemicals and detergents) I have long
been a devotee of Liz's range. So I was more than pleased to use the new bodycare
range that appeared in my | Christmas stocking!
As with all Liz's products the results were amazing but again it was the heavenly
aromas that clinched it! The Orange Flower Botanical Bodywash is absolutely gorgeous,wonderfully
scented ,containing natural scource vitamin E and plant extracts the lovely smell
of rose geranium is a superb way to start the day. And to end the day? Relax in
a bath of Liz's aromatherapy oils delighting in such names as Harmony and Bliss

types including the very sensitive and the customer care service is second to
none so go on,treat yourself to a slice of heaven! Visit www.lizearle.com to find

BANISH
THOSE BLUES! | If
you are suffering from those Winter Blues in the aftermath of Christmas just walk
them away! Short days, cold weather and low light levels can make us all feel
a bit glum but a recent study of 156 people suffering from depression found
that when they walked for 30 minutes a day, three times a week their health and
memories improved. They were better equipped mentally to organise their day and
found it easier to complete tasks. The overall effect was that this regular walking
made them feel better. If thats not enough incentive then bear in mind that each
30 minute walk burns around 250 calories! QUICK
TIPS - Always
smooth face products downwards and body products upwards this helps to drain
away toxins for firmer, healthier skin.
- Splashing
your face with cold water for 2 minutes boost circulation, exercises capilleries
and helps to enhance the absorption of your moisturiser.
- Iodine, found in shellfish,
is said to stimulate spots, so if you regular breakouts, stay off the prawns!
Split
Ends  How
do split ends happen and how can I protect them?
 Split
ends occur when the hair loses its keratin binding cement, called ceramides. These
are complex compounds of oils, minerals and proteins that are necessary for maintaining
moisture levels and bind together the keratinic fibres. The most common cause
is overuse of harsh detergent shampoos and chemical operations such as bleaching
and perming. Other causes are harsh blowdrying, over vigorous brushing and climatic
changes. Keep hair regularly trimmed to avoid splits travelling up the shaft
and always use good quality shampoo, preferably which contains ceramides. La Biosthetique
do a good range as do LOreal Elvive.
QUICK
FIX STATIC When
youre styling your hair and static is making it fly around in all directions
just use two brushes! As soon as the static starts to build up with the first
brush, switch to the other and continue styling! |
