Give your skin an energy boost
During these cold winter months banish tired looking skin and maintain the perfect complexion
T
he winter weather might be giving your skin some trouble so your skin needs some TLC, a lift and some protection.
Water Important for your general well being, but did you also know that not drinking enough can weaken your under eye skin causing bags and more wrinkles… tiredness will also be visible through dried and chapped lips.
Exfoliate
This should be part of your regular beauty routine, twice or three times a week.
BOOST AND REJUVENATE CUT CAFFEINE
The average ‘half-life’ of caffeine is six hours. That means if you have a cup of coffee at 4pm, at 10pm it will still be swilling around your body. Avoid caffeine within six hours of bedtime.

SMELL THE ROSES
Get out into the open air, no matter the time of year, wrap up and take a walk for 30 minutes and get some nature into your soul.
SLEEP WELL Nothing else will leave you as recharged. If
you need to, take natural supplements such as magnesium before bed.
GET SUPPORT
Talk to loved ones about how you feel and seek the support of your GP or a therapist if you need to.

HANDY HINT TRY TO CHILL OUT
Store your morning beauty products in the fridge There’s nothing like the cold air hitting your face to wake you up. Plan ahead and place your facial moisturiser in the fridge just before you go to bed. Doing this will instantly eliminate puffiness and bring some colour to your cheeks.
ridding your skin of wrinkles. Excessive time spent in the sun, too much alcohol and a bad diet can add to the loss, but it’s possible to plump the skin with an extra hit of collagen and stop the ageing process in its tracks. This works for the boys too!
FROM THE INSIDE
oods that boost collagen production also help in keeping your body fit. Collagen aids in boosting metabolism and energy as it contains glycine that helps pump sugar into your body tissues to keep you energised. It also helps in muscle development.
Vitamin C Eat more foods with high levels of Vitamin C, an antioxidant that slows down the rate of damage caused by free radicals. Great sources are red peppers, raspberries, leafy green vegetables like broccoli and sprouts, tomatoes, oranges, kiwis and pomegranates.
Avoid sugary treats Not only will that sweet tooth pile on the pounds but it will speed up the ageing

process, causing the plumpness of a youthful complexion to age and wrinkle prematurely.
Add more antioxidants to your diet They help to fight off free radicals that cause your skin to age. High scorers are; goji berries, pecan nuts, artichokes, elderberries, kidney beans and cranberries.
