January Detox Skin Boost

After a month of over indulgence, it is time to rid the body of Toxins and get a glow back into the skin. Above I have picked my favourite products to help your skin and give you back a natural glow.

1. Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum If you don't wear a serum, 2014 is the year you need to buy one. This is one of my favourites at this time of year. It is hydrating (giving you back the moisture lost in the winter months) and radiance boosting through its Vitamin C content. Wear underneath your daily face cream.

2. Tweezerman Tweezers a good way to starting to feel good is to shape your eyebrows, it is impossible to get even, groomed eyebrows without shaping them first. (Remember to pluck in between your brows (above the nose) and the strays above your eyebrows). Buy the Suqqu Pen too and you'll have perfect brows for January!

3. Drink hot (warm) Lemon and Water as soon as you wake in the morning.  Being the first liquid to go through your body, it will flush out any toxins from the day before and kick start your digestive system.  Clean organs, mean radiant skin.

4. Dior Lip Maximiser Nothing makes you look and feel better than a slick of lipgloss, this is one of my favourites as the tingling effect and Collagen enhancer plumps up my lips for the day ahead. 

5. Dior Lip Enhancer I bought this last week in the airport on the way to a job, for a boost and I love it! Use instead of the above for a more subtle lip enhancing look.  You only need a small amount, otherwise it colour enhances your lips too much and you look like you're wearing lipstick!

6. Glam Glow Mud Mask My new favourite Face Mask! It removes dead skin cells, leaving skin looking and feeling smooth, the mud dries any pores reducing their appearance. This is my number one product for January.

7. Organic Ginger Powder Ginger has so many good qualities for the skin and body, if you don't like it, make yourself! I used to eat Crystalised Ginger everyday, which is good but coated in sugar, so not brilliant. Finally this powder has been launched so you can sprinkle and add it to your food and drink. Otherwise, buy raw ginger, slice and add it to your hot lemon and eat it afterwards. A few benefits of Ginger are: relieves cold symptoms, enhances metabolism, relieves migraines, boosts immune system. 

At Home Ginger Face Mask:

Mix milk powder and dry ginger powder to make a smooth paste. Apply on clean face and neck and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Wash and apply facial moisturiser. Use this once a week to clear acne and breakouts. This mask will rejuvenate your skin and renew the skin cells to give your skin a youthful glow.

8. Eat natural Almonds, they are full of Vitamin E (an Anti-Oxidant which helps prevent damage from UV rays), Protein (the building brick of skin), Magnesium (which can counter the effects of Stress Hormones, which damage and age the skin), Omega-3 Fatty Acids (your body cannot make these, after Walnuts, Almonds are the richest source, they support the immune system, increase energy levels and skin radiance). They are an easy way for you to provide benefits for your skin.

9. Nars Tinted Mouisturiser this glides onto the skin, evening out skin tone and instantly gives you a radiant glow. The perfect, healthy looking 'no make-up' look.

10. Hydrolysed Collagen this is beauty in a jar! Studies show that this may improve hydration in the skin by 28% and reduce wrinkles by 30%. It is still very debated, however, Collagen is the protein that keeps our skin tight and therefore, if we can maintain it within the body through a supplement, it may prevent the appearance of wrinkles.

11. Clean and Lean Diet Book this was a Christmas gift and by the end of Boxing Day I had read the whole book, it is so interesting. A must read for any girl wanting to get the most out of their skin. For all the men out there, have a read of Clean and Lean Warrior Book.

Lets get the best out of skin for 2014!
