My skin is prone to dryness and sensitivity. How can I soothe it?
The main cause of sensitive skin is that our bodies are exposed
to more toxins and allergens than ever before. These can
be found in our diets, skincare and can also be triggered
by smoking, drinking alcohol and exposure to pollution.
If you suffer from persistent sensitivity, it’s best to see a
dermatologist or GP who can recommend a treatment plan.
In terms of home care, cutting out harsh skincare ingredients
like fragrance, parabens and exfoliating alpha and beta
hydroxyl acids can prevent inflammation. The aim is to aid
barrier function without provoking irritation.
Go for soothing cleansers containing rose hip, wheat germ
and aloe vera – these can protect the skin’s moisture barrier. Try
Weleda Almond Soothing Cleansing Lotion (`715). Pick moisturisers
with skin-repairing ceramides and soothing niacinamide. Try new Indeed
10balm (`1990) - it’s enriched with calming and hydrating ingredients.BEAUTYSOLUTION

FAB FACIAL
I’m looking for a facial to have before my wedding. What do you suggest?
I am a big fan of high-tech facials purely because the results last longer than a few hours.
I was really impressed with the new CACI Synergy Facial (`12,000, caci-international.
co.uk), which uses SPED (simultaneous photo electrical delivery) technology to
simultaneously deliver LED therapy and micro-current face toning to stimulate tissue
regeneration and boost new skin-plumping collagen. During the 90 minute, totally
pain free treatment, skin will be gently peeled, cleansed, toned and fine lines will also
be tackled. If you’re after a pre-wedding facial that really works, this one will not
disappoint. My skin was tighter,plumper and glowing for days.PRODUCT
FOCUS:FACE MASKS
People of all skin
types can benefit from
adding a face mask to
their beauty regime.
Not only are they truly pampering,
they contain concentrated ingredients
that get to work quickly. Treat skin to
the new Liz Earle Superskin Overnight
Mask (`4,200) before bedtime. The
multi-action mask feeds skin cells
with everything they need to optimise
night-time healing. The potent blend of
buruti, borage, rosehip and cranberry
seed oils nourish skin. Supercharged
botanicals of Persian silk tree extract
brighten and even skin tone, while
pomegranate flower boosts collagen
production to firm and lift the
complexion.I would love to have
whiter teeth for my wedding.
Can you suggest a home whitening
product? You could try the Style White
Home Teeth Whitening Kit (`2,990, ocado.
com) – its makers claim that it can give you
teeth that are five shades brighter in less than
an hour. Easy to use, the kit includes a peroxide
free whitening gel made with plant enzymes
and bicarbonate of soda. It also comes with
a flexible mouth tray, designed for the
upper and lower teeth, plus an LED
light activator.TO SOLVE YOUR BRIDAL BEAUTY WORRIES, EMAIL: [email protected]

is leaving me feeling
constantly tired.
What can I do to increase
my energy levels besides
getting more sleep?
Try taking a daily
supplement such as
Fountain The
Energy Molecule (`2,400,
victoriahealth.com), which is a
liquid formula containing
creatine, vitamin B12 and
hyaluronic acid to help provide
sustainable lasting energy.
Rescue Plus Effervescent
Tablets (`1,085, rescueremedy.
com) are ideal for those times
when you need a real energy
hit. When dissolved in water,
the tablet fizzes and releases a
combination of flower essences,B vitamins and minerals to
release energy, support mental
performance and reduce
tiredness.
If you suffer from chronic
fatigue, experts swear by IV
therapy, which is a minimally
invasive procedure that
delivers fluids, vitamins
and minerals directly into
the bloodstream through
an intravenous drip. It is a
far more rapid and effective
delivery method than
supplements. Try the B12
Energy Burst (`4,900, iv-me.
com) at IV-Me Infusion Lab,
which pumps the body with
energy heightening B vitamins,
caffeine and cell boosting
