IF EVER there is a time of year when we are prone to overdo it, this is it: Christmas! It is, after all, the season to be merry and to eat and drink in excess and party ’til we drop!
Family reunions, office parties and friends are sure to demand your company.
So let’s prepare ourselves for the morning after the night before… Here are a few tips to keep you hydrated, which in conjunction with the golden rule of drink two litres of water a day, should keep you fresh as a rose throughout.
Recently launched by Elemis, Pro-Collagen Marine cream is a revolutionary anti-ageing cream so advanced and so natural that it mimics the skin’s own functions. Drawing its powerful anti-ageing properties from the wealth of the sea, this highly supportive cream combines the marine algae Padina Pavonica with Absolutes and Gingko Biloba liposomes to enable deep penetration of moisture into the skin. Smooth, sweet smelling and soft, try it once and you will be hooked!

Silken Facial Polish by Vita Liberata is a gentle facial polish made of jojoba oil spheres which will remove dead surface cells and brighten up your complexion while deeply moisturising it with its anti-ageing treatment of Hyaluron – which holds the collagen in place and gives elastin something to bounce back onto.
Kiss goodbye to your skin patches, and feel ready to go again!
