Nourishing your skin

The skin is your body’s largest organ and needs to be looked after. It is not enough to just drink water to keep your body hydrated, it needs to be moisturised as well.

My tips for keeping your skin in tip top condition are:-

Exfoliate your skin once a week to remove the dead skin cells and help cell renewal. It is great if you have a suntan as it does not fade it but helps to prolong it and give the tanned skin a glow.

Moisturise your skin every day, the best time being after having a bath or shower when the skin is damp.

Drink plenty of water each day to help hydrate the body from the inside.

Restrict the amount of tea and coffee that you drink each day, as caffeine is very dehydrating.

Looking after your skin will help to keep your skin soft and healthy looking.

The Spa experience

Just the other day I went to an Aqua Spa near me. If you ever get the chance to visit a Spa – go, you will find that is a great way to relax and detoxify.

The one I went to had steam rooms with subtle aromas to help relax your mind and body ranging from not too hot to hot. The idea being to start cooler and work up to the hotter steam rooms.

There were also saunas, which help to open up your pores and help cleanse your body. Saunas have a dry heat but it is very hot.

Then after you have tried the steam rooms and saunas there were the quiet areas where you can completely relax and meditate if you want.

I do not know if all Spas have saunas and steam rooms but I found that was a fantastic way to calm the body, help the blood circulation and feel great, so if you can go, go and try for yourself.
