Back To School- Glowing Skin.

If you are one of the lucky one's who is heading back to school soon you will probably be thinking about how you are going to have your hair, what you are going to be doing about your make-up and of course, how your skin is looking!

If you have the odd pimple that has decided to make an appearance, just to spite you on your first day back, not to worry!! We have 5 simple steps to follow to get beautiful looking skin for your first day back.

1. Drink plenty of water!

Drinking water is going to help flush your system of toxins that build up and can contribute to the cause of spots. By drinking 2ltrs of water a day you will be aiding cell renewal, removing the built up toxins in your body which will hopefully help clear your skin as well as making you look and feel better.

2. Avoid junk food!

When we eat junk food, your body will try to break it down to use as much of the nutrients as possible, it will then do it's best to flush out anything toxic left behind and in some instances, this can cause breakouts to occur. Try eating healthy fats like Avocado, nuts & fish. These are all packed with wonderful omega oils that will help the skin & hair to look beautifully healthy. 

3. Work-out

When you exercise there is an increase in blood flow to the surface of your skin, with this it brings oxygen and nutrients along which is greatly beneficial to keeping your skin looking and feeling healthy. Sweat is made up mostly of water, however, it also contains small amounts of urea, salts & sugar which means it is flushing impurities away from your skin.

4. Beauty Sleep
Sleep is vital to maintaining clear, fresh looking skin. When you sleep, your body is recharging & repairing itself. You need to allow it time to do so. Try & get in at least 8 hours & take time before bed to relax. With technology at our finger tips, it is easy to reach for your phone, iPad, laptop etc, instead read a book or listen to some music that will help your drift off calmly & peacefully.

5. Detoxify & Pamper your skin
Remember, your skin is the largest organ you have, so it is important to nourish & protect it. Use a detoxifying Little Muddies Face Mask, followed by Raw Concentrate Skin Serum before bed. This will remove toxins & impurities from your skin & nourish and hydrate throughout the night. You will wake up feeling like you have just had a million dollar facial. Plus is is all 100% natural so no nasty chemicals!

I hope you all have a great school year, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Much Love.

My Dark Little Secret

The title of this post may have enticed you and so it should. My dark secret could soon be yours too!

So I guess I should tell you what my dark little secret is huh? Dark Chocolate! YUM!! Not only is dark chocolate actually good for you but if you have a massive sweet tooth like myself this will be a brilliant little secret for you. 

Dark chocolate contains a compounds called flavonoid, these are plant-based compounds with powerful antioxidant properties, which means they help reduce inflammation, promote healthy arteries and help fight aging by preventing and repairing cellular damage, all of which is fantastic for your skin and over all health! 

So what chocolate should you choose? If you are going to eat dark chocolate for its amazing health benefits make sure you are eating one that contains 70% cocoa content or higher as this will have the most beneficial properties. Avoid white or milk chocolate as this will contain a greater amount of sugar, milk, fat and butter along with other ingredients that are added to chocolate to give it, its distinctive flavour. 

Remember to eat your chocolate in combination with a healthy balanced diet and enjoy!
