A Good Habit for Lent !
Monday, March 21st, 2011Rachel here from La Spa…
It is that time of year again where everybody thinks of something to give up for Lent and we usually choose the same thing we failed to give up last year!!!
Instead of giving up something this Lent, why not try to do something easier and make a resolution to be better with our skin care?!
I think its time to look after ourselves and what better way to start than with Lent?
Make a promise to yourself to begin a skincare regime starting each morning with cleansing, moisturising and then protecting your skin with an SPF. This is a great way to start the day and you will feel instantly better and more awake each morning.
Every evening cleanse away your skins stress of the day and again moisturise and treat your skin with a night cream or serum.
If this is a process that is alien to you! Then now is a great time to start and the results will be seen in your complexion. There are great offers out there on skin care products so hit your local spa/beauty salon today to see what they have on offer for you.
Acne Treatment – 4 Key Prevention Tips For Acne
Sunday, August 1st, 2010
Rachel here from La Spa…..
Starting from the inside first is key in relation to acne treatment. Eat a healthy balanced diet free of as much chemically enhanced food as possible. Things to definitely avoid are micro waved or processed foods and sweets. Instead of fizzy drinks, drink plenty of water or herbal teas and juices. Also include fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet as they are full of anti-oxidants which are essential to combat acne.
There are mineral supplements available from Dr. Daniello (used in our day spa) which replaces certain minerals (one of which being magnesium) in the body which people who suffer from acne have been found to be deficient in. Taking these supplements will help to prevent acne but are also good for general wellbeing and health.
My third tip in relation to acne treatment but definitely not my least important is a good skin care routine daily. Everybody needs to be cleansing their skin twice a day. The morning is just as important as the evening. Use a serum and moisturiser for your skin type and eye cream and SPF (Sun Protection Factor). Also exfoliate twice a week and use a facial deep cleansing mask to keep the skin clear of blockages and dirt. This way there will be no chance for the skin to accumulate oils and debris from day to day living and therefore no acne breakouts/acne scars will occur.
Finally, avoid applying make-up using your fingers or brushes that have not been cleaned as this can harbour bacteria and add excess oil to the skin, causing acne breakouts. Always make sure to wash your brushes and your hands before applying make-up!
