Health & Fitness UK – September 2019

(avery) #1

KEEP MOVING


Resist the temptation to head straight for the sun-lounger on day one of your
holiday. Slap on the sunscreen, drink plenty of water and go for a run or hire a
bike to explore. ‘Aerobic activity boosts oxygenated blood and helps skin
produce the natural oils needed to perfect your glow,’ says personal trainer
Luke Hughes (origympersonaltrainercourses.co.uk). ‘And, by working up a sweat,
you’ll rid the skin of toxins that can lead to blemishes.’


| DRINK IN THE GLOW |


Arbonne’s new Healthy Skin Within Skin Elixir
Collagen Builder with Hyaluronic Acid
(£45 for 30 sticks, arbonne.com) is a drinkable daily
supplement bursting with skin-boosting botanicals
such as sea buckthorn and Monterey pine bark.
Billed as a ‘super water for your skin’, it builds
collagen and neutralises free radicals to help
skin maintain its elasticity, smoothness and a
healthy-looking glow. Or help prime your skin
for the sun with Beauty & Go Summer Skin
drink (£24.50 for seven x 250ml bottles;
mybeautyandgo.co.uk). It contains a
patented macro-antioxidant blend of
nutrients to increase the skin’s shield
while keeping it hydrated. Cheers!

| DON’T FORGET


YOUR LIPS |
’Lip skin is super-delicate and doesn’t contain
the high concentration of hydrating glands and
sun protection cells seen elsewhere in the
skin,’ warns consultant dermatologist
Dr Emma Wedgeworth. ‘So do protect
your lips.’ Her recommendation?
Blistex Lip Brilliance (£2.69 for 3.7g,
chemists nationwide). ‘It’s a great balm
to achieve that summer glow, with
SPF, antioxidant vitamin E and
nourishing shea butter to leave lips
healthy and full.’ Or for nourishment,
Ciaté London’s Watermelon Burst
Hydrating Lip Oil (£14 for 10ml,
selfridges.com) is infused with
watermelon extract nourishing oils.

| POP A PEARL |


Look for skincare with illuminating
qualities and ingredients. The new
Payot Uni Skin Concentré Perles
(£62 for 30ml, payot.com) keeps the
summer glow alive and combats
imperfections with key radiance-
boosting ingredients calendula flower,
kiwi and cress. Used morning
and night, its precious illuminating
pearls fuse with an active gel
to act as a genuine light booster
for skin. Angela Langford Bloom
& Glow Radiance Restoring
Facial Oil (£20.50 for 15ml,
angelalangford.com) contains
chia seed and sea buckthorn
to deliver fatty acids,
antioxidants and vitamins to
boost elasticity and restore
radiance. Quickly absorbed
and smells divine!
