The nights might be drawing in but that’s no excuse for being sluggish
AS the clocks have gone back and the days are getting shorter, it is easy to get into that all-too-familiar lethargy where staying in all warm and cosy seems like a much more attractive option to being out and about fighting the elements. But there are plenty of ways to avoid this ‘hibernating bear’ syndrome: it’s time to energise, revive and recharge your mind, body and soul with the aid of gels, scrubs and toners. This is how… start the day with a wonderful bath or shower using Molton Brown’s Rejuvenating Arctic Birch Gel, and give your skin a new lease of life. This regenerating body wash is enriched with birch bark from the purest region of the north Arctic, to help refresh, protect and maintain cell physiology. Fine oils of vetiver, basil, bergamot and neroli will instantly uplift you, preparing you for the day ahead…
