January Detox - Winter Offers

With Christmas and all its indulgences behind us, many of us begin to turn our thoughts to the new year. New year is often a time of reflection about what we have done, of pondering of where we are now and of optimism of where we will be in the new year ahead of us.

Although spring is only a few weeks away (I like to use 'weeks' because it makes it seem closer), we are still in the grip of winter and are often exposed to rather extreme elements. Outside it is very cold and inside it is very warm. This daily onslaught of extremes is not ideal for our poor skins and couple that with the ravages of over-indulgence over Christmas will leave most skins begging for a little TLC as well as something to kick start a healthier lifestyle in the new year (some would call it a 'detox')

Exfoliating is a key way to help with any detox program. It really helps to boost a sluggish circulation bringing oxygen and nutrients from the blood to the area. It also helps to slough off dead skin cells leaving the skin soft, vibrant and glowing. Exfoliating also helps to improve the absorption of other products into the skin (such as moisturising). A good, rich moisturiser will help to protect the skin from becoming dry and chapped - a common problem in winter time.
