Exfoliate

Every day exfoliatethe skin .Not unlike dry skin brushing ,exfoliation clears the skin of dead cell ; thae main difference is that it needs to be done with water and an exfoliater ,so this treatment could easily be integrated with one of your pampering sessions .

  1. As you run a bath ,add a few drops of your favourite bath oil and relax for at least ten minutes in the water ,allowing time for your skin to soften before you begin to esfoliate .
  2. You can either apply exfoliation cream while in the bath ,lifiting each limb out of the water to do so ,or climb out of the bath and apply the cream using firm circular movements all over your body .When finished ,climb back into the bath and carry on rubbing until all the cream has been washed off .
  3. Get out of the bath and towel yourself dry before applying moisturizer all over your body.
  4. Finally jump into a pair of your warmest pyjamas,and hop into bed with a good book for a restorative early night.

Epsom salts baths

Spend up the elimination of toxins from the skin and improve your circulation with an Epsom salts bath.Run the bath water and 225-450g (1/2-1lb )of Epsom salts to the water .Most chemists and health food stores sell Epsom salts .

Soak for about 20 minutes ,and when you get out ,keep yourself warm by piling on lost clothes ; this will help the body to continue sweating out toxins.

Grow beauttiful whilst you dream

At night , whilst we sleep ,the skin cells divide twice as quickly and it is then that the skin performs most of its recovery .Regular use of a night cream maximizes the benefits .

During the night Your skin is subject to a lot of water during the day , so it is essential you take good care of at night to help the process of cell regenration .This is when the cells at the deeper layers come through and transform into surface cells ,rich in keratin.

Night creams Opt for a night cream that is more nourishing and hydrating than your day cream .The day cream works as defence against the environment and the night cream acts as regenerator . Go for the formulas rich in essential fatty acids that nourish the hydro-lypidic film .Creams containing vitamins A ,C and E combat free radicals . For the best results , it is important to respect the biologica rhythm of your skin :the best time for applying night-time skincare is before midnight .

>Lack of sleep is immediately visible in the skin ,in the skin form of dullness , lines and dark rings .
>Never skimp on your night-time ritual of cleansing , toning and nourishing and night cream .Drink a long glass of water before you go to sleep and anther one immediately on waking .

*At night help your skin to rechange its batteries by using a night cream or blam .
*Get enough sleep .Your skin needs it .
