 BODY                                                                                                                The skin is the human body’s largest organ,  when stretched out is 2 square meters. It serves as our bodies first and foremost protective barrier against infections and diseases so it is very important, care of it is often overlooked.  Most people have a great face skin care routine but do very little if anything at all to care for the body. What should your body skincare routine include? Having a structured body skin care routine that keeps your skin healthy, feeling refreshed and nourished, even if its just 5 mins daily will ensure beautifully nourished glowing healthy skin. 

The first step in a good body care routine is Dry Body Brushing                             Body brushing is one of the least rated beauty habits ever, yet it is also one of those incredibly simple things that bring huge benefits.  Just a few minutes a day will promote your lymph, helping your body metabolise toxins more efficiently, discourage fluid retention and cellulite, and soften and tone the skin.  The benefits are immediate and lasting.  It is also very good at exfoliating dead skin cells away, in doing this it primes your skin to absorb the ingredients from body creams and serums much more effectively.     

         

                                         Body brushing is best done before a shower, the process only takes a couple of minutes.  Start at the feet in the direction of the heart, then continue working over the entire body.  Quick flicks rather than long, slow strokes are key.  These should continue from feet to knees (don't forget behind them - where the lymph nodes are), knees to hips, over the bum, hands to shoulders.  As well as your limbs, don't forget the torso too.  Brush your stomach and chest using clockwise sweeps.  Also you can adjust your pressure to the different parts of the body, so it is comfortable yet stimulating circulation.  Consistency is key, a few minutes dry brushing before showering in the morning will achieve great results.    

             

 

           THE SHOWER            Make sure that the water is not too hot, as comfortable and relaxing as a hot shower can be – it can be damaging to your skin, stripping its natural protective oils away.   Although less favoured, particularly in cold winter months, showering in colder water provides more benefits to your skin. Some of these benefits include:  calming itchy skin  Waking you up Increased circulation  Reducing muscle soreness post-workout  Potentially boosting weight loss  Glowing hair and skin as taking a cold shower does not dry out the Protective barrier of the skin
