FOR body
It is important to start a body skincare regime to help keep the skin smooth, soft and wrinkle free as we get older. Cleansing, exfoliating, body brushing, moisturising, using body masks and relaxing mineral baths will all help you maintain healthy, glowing skin, making you the envy of all your friends! It is definitely better late than never
to look after your skin…
There are several steps we feel important to maintaining a silky soft body, relaxing and
having that all important ‘me’ time in the luxury
of your own bathroom.
HOW TO CREATE THE PERFECT AT HOME SPA BODY REGIME...
Step 1 |
Relax
Light some scented candles in your bathroom, close the door and dim the lights creating a warm, cosy spa ambience. |
Step 2
|
Exfoliate
Why? Exfoliating the body regularly is important for a number of reasons. Firstly it removes dead skin cells, leaving you with brighter, smoother skin. Secondly exfoliation increases circulation so is therefore beneficial in reducing signs of cellulite and toning the skin.
How Often? We would suggest exfoliating the body 2-3 times a week. However if your aim is to reduce cellulite and tone the skin then you may wish to exfoliate problem areas daily. It is also important to exfoliate the body before you go on holiday so new skin is able to enjoy the sun light (with sun protection of course!) and help you achieve a nice long lasting tan.
Which Products? Dead Sea Spa Magik has one fantastic all over body exfoliator, which has been voted ‘Best Body Scrub’ by women’s magazines…
|
Salt Brushing
Suitable for all skin types. Unadvisable to use on cracked or cut skin as may sting!
|
What do I do? Standing in a bath or shower, take a handful of salt paste and gently apply to a dry body using circular movements. Rinse with warm water and towel dry.
|
Step 3
|
Bathe
Why? A hot bubble bath or bathing our hands and feet in bowls of warm water
is amazingly relaxing and de-stressing! Giving you much needed time to yourself, alone to rest your mind and body. There are a number of products available
to help you achieve an even higher state of calm, hydrate the skin and
help you sleep.
How Often? Bathe as often as you can. Obviously it entirely depends on how often you get the time, but as frequently as possible to ensure the products
you add to your bath word their best and to keep you in a calm and relaxed
frame of mind.

Spa Lifestyle Tips
Drink plenty of water each day, if you are a coffee drinker after each cup of coffee, instead
of following with another, why not try a glass of water. This will help to hydrate you and flush
out the caffeine that will de hydrate your skin. Cranberry juice is great for the bladder and is full
of anti oxidants.
Sleep is also very important, but if you have a busy life style it’s easier said than done. So, before you get into bed try to unwind, read a book, have a nice relaxing bath with some salts, avoid any tea or coffee after 8pm, also don't put the TV on in your bed room, as it distracts you from your much need sleep… a nice quiet room will welcome sleep. Try a hot milk with a teaspoon of honey to make you sleepy, plus the honey is great for your complexion!
As its getting cooler, and the winter months are setting in, vegetables are great, how ever you wish to eat it, it will keep your energy levels up and make you feel good, as well as helping your skin to look great and healthy. The most beneficial ones are broccoli, carrots, cabbage. Fruit will also help with your complexion and energy levels, oranges provide you with vitamin c, strawberries or cranberries are anti oxidants and bananas give us much needed potassium.
Another top spa lifestyle tip is stretching! Stretch 2-4 times daily, each for 30seconds! This gets the muscles warmed, and more flexible, plus, a good couple of stretches in the morning feels great and kick starts your body for the day!
