HAVE YOU TRIED? HOT BUTTERED V-JAYJAYS There is a little-known practice found in Ethiopian salons. Women are given a 45-minute massage head to toe, using butter as the massaging medium. Butter is also applied everywhere, from toe to scalp. Plastic bags are put over the hands and feet, and the guest is given a large chunk of butter to spread over her lady parts. Then she is led to a room with a long row of toilets and smoke holes. The woman sits on the toilet with her legs as far apart as possible, with her hoo-ha positioned over the smoke hole. The idea is to tighten up the vaginal muscles post pregnancy if you’re so inclined.
BEAUTY MYTH BODY ACNE IS CAUSED BY SWEATING
FALSE Exercise CAN cause body acne, but it’s not down to sweating. It’s actually caused by sitting in your gym clothes after a workout – restrictive clothing blocks your pores and results in inflammation. Try to shower as soon as you can after your session to avoid any flare-ups.

FIVE WAYS TO MANAGE ANXIETY
We all get anxious from time to time, but there are numerous approaches to managing the symptoms.
CBT Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) includes a variety of techniques ranging from exposure therapies – where the person either vividly imagines the feared situation in order to modify the irrational fear response – to learning cognitive techniques to change the patterns of thought that lead to anxiety.
Nutriceuticals A few studies have suggested that nutriceuticals can help reduce anxiety. One fairly large placebo-controlled trial found that magnesium decreased anxiety in patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms, while another study suggested that the supplement a-casozepine peptide could help.
Apps In the past few years, a range of free apps have been developed to try and tackle anxiety. In a 2017 study, the IntelliCare suite of apps – which teach users self-management skills for tackling anxiety based on psychological research – was found to significantly reduce anxiety symptoms.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine Caffeine is a psychostimulant and there are many decades of research to suggest it can both exacerbate the symptoms of anxiety. Likewise, while many people with anxiety turn to alcohol as a calming sedative, that can trigger a vicious circle.
Self-care approaches Trying yoga, massage therapy or meditation can help keep anxiety under control, and can also help with the muscle tension.
