5 WAYS TO LOVE YOUR BODY The thought of Valentines day can bring dread to some and joy to others. We’re choosing joy and choosing to celebrate all kinds of love. In part two of our LOVE YOUR SKIN series we’re looking at ways to boost the love for your own body and in turn get a self loving confidence boost!
OUT WITH OLD We accumulate more than we bargained for over winter including dry skin that can look older than it its age, a bit like crocodile Skin! Thanks goodness the sight of a delicate snowdrop can prompt a desire to shed off the old and bring on the new and fresh. A body skin rebirth is just the ticket to boost confidence. Start with a beautiful skin polish with a sugar scrub immersed in rich oils to exfoliate old cells. If you feel it’s just too much to do at home you can have a full body peel like the Eminence Mango Enzyme Body Peel, it’s phenomenal! It contains many different fruit acids blended with enzymes to dissolve away the old skin and boost collagen in the new. Eh, Valentines Gift Voucher -hint hint! HYDRATE FROM WITHIN Keeping hydrated helps your mood by reducing brain fog and can even stave off headaches. Vegetable juices are a great way to hydrate the cells while boosting vitamin and mineral intake. A simple soup like vegetable broth can do the same while keeping the body warm. Both are low in calories and have a cleansing effect on the body and hydrating effect on the skin. For example juice carrots, beetroot, apple and ginger for a nourishing, circulation stimulating drink! Hydrate body skin by choosing an Eminence body lotion that is just right for your needs, they have a very wide range. But remember you will benefit so much more if you exfoliate the skin first. A good routine is to sugar scrub 3 times in the first week if you’ve been slack over winter and then once per week to maintain. Follow with your favourite body lotion, and If you really want to feel nurtured and adored use thethe Eminence Apricot oil, it’s delicious aroma will have you falling in love with yourself in no time!
IMPROVE CIRCULATION Dry skin brushing is very healthy for body skin and the lymph, keeping skin cells turning over, it helps smooth out cellulite too. The lymphatic system is a secondary circulatory system in the body that carries cellular waste and is responsible for activating when we need protection from infection. It comes under pressure most of the time because it relies on muscles to pump the tiny vessels. Lymph congestion can lead to feeling tired and lethargic. One of the best exercises to decongest lymph is the rebounder. So get jumping -you’ll soon release your inner John Lewis boxer! GOOD TO GLOW There’s no doubt taking the first step to get in touch with your body and take good care of it does give a feeling of more confidence. Finally, for this Valentines if you really want to see your skin glow try Blueberry Shimmer Body Lotion with anti-oxidant pineapple for collagen boosting, this light shimmer lotion with fruit acids smooths the skin and leaves a beautiful youthful glow all over the body. So, go on, give yourself the gift of self-care and soon you’ll be in love all over again! Happy Valentine!
