Get Glowing

Friday, January 6th, 2012

During the winter months our skin gets hidden under all the winter woolies & layers. We tend to forget that even though we are not showing much skin we still need to take care of it. They say that a baby renews their skin every 2 weeks, as we get older & our cells slow down this process takes much longer which is why exfoliation is key!

The easiest way to keep your skin glowing is to use exfoliating gloves or a body brush in the shower. These can be used with any shower gel or soap & will help buff off those dead skin cells. The gloves are by far the lazy girls way to exfoliating & they are available in Boots stores.

If you have been neglecting your skin all winter & feel that you need a little extra push to brighten it up then use an exfoliating wash as well. Many brands offer high-priced body scrubs but there is no need to break the bank to get glowing skin. Here’s a few of our favourites:

Soap & Glory The Scrub of Your Life Body Buffer €10

The Body Shop Cocoa Cream Textured Body Scrub €15

Organic Surge Tropical Bergamot Body Scrub €6

Don’t forget to moisturise after your shower, if you moisturise while your skin is still damp it will lock in more of the moisture & keep your skin supple & smooth.

Do you have any secret tips of your own for smoother skin?
