Do you want to know the secret to gorgeous, glowing skin? We sought advice from a Naturopath, Dermatologist and Beautician to find out their expert tips for maintaining supple, hydrated skin and smooth lips during your Byron stay. From potions and lotions to facials and massages here’s what we’d recommend.
When it comes to face creams those that contain an SPF to guard skin against UV rays and antioxidant vitamins protect against premature ageing are the best. Avocado, olive, jojoba and rosehip oils are nourishing types you should look for in night creams. If your skin itches or cracks from dryness, consider using a product with mineral oil or baby oil; they can form a protective layer on the skin and look for body creams with glycerine, sorbitol and sodium hyaluronate for retaining moisture. For the lips – nourishing ingredients like shea butter high in oil content and vitamin E strengthens the skins barrier function.
Did you know that our skin is the largest organ of the human body and that the human body is approximately 65% water? Well, you do now…
If home pampering is your thing, drop in to Natures Child, Madame Butterfly, Private Life, Reflections or Temple of Light – they have a beautiful assortment of bodycare, massage and beauty products, candles and special gifts for you to create your own “day spa” in the privacy of your own home.
