The 10 BEST Food For Glowing Skin;

11391456_1619418964967775_8646043247014053877_n

1. Get Glowing With Chocolate – Yes that’s correct, chocolate can be good for us! Cocoa hydrates your skin & dark chocolate contains high levels of flavonoids, a potent antioxidant.
But don’t over do it – a couple of squares a day should be enough to improve luminosity
2. Protect With Pomegranates – They are packed with poly phenols fight free radials & regulate skin’s blood flow.

How much? One pomegranate or a few glasses of juice
3. Walnuts – Soften Skin – Walnuts contain omega 3 essential fatty acids, which improve skin’s elasticity. They contain cooper, a mineral that boost collagen production.

How many? A handy each day should do the trick!

4. Prevent Wrinkles with Yogurt – The protein you get from eating dairy helps skin become firmer, so it’s more resistant to lines. Greek yogurt is more beneficial than regular yogurt.
5. Fight crows feet – It has been found that women who eat green & yellow vegetables regular tend to have fewer wrinkles, especially around the eyes. Carotenoids – an antioxidant found in yellow & orange veggies – can decrease skin’s sensitive to sun.

How much? 2 cups of peppers per day
6. Brighten Up with Sunflower Seeds! They may look tiny but these little seeds are packed with Vitamin E. These seeds keep your skin supple by protecting its top layers from the sun – therefore assisting in avoiding premature ageing & sun spots.

A bit boring just by themselves – had them to your morning cereal!
7. Zap Zits with Kidney Beans – they are high in zinc & studies indicate a correlation between blemishes & low zinc levels. Zinc has healing properities & studies have shown zinc to be as effective against acne as antibiotics are!

8. Drink Green Tea – Green tea is very high in antioxidants & have been found to reduce redness & fight inflammation

How much? At least 1 cup a day!

9. Even your Skin Tone with Soy! Soy contains minerals & proteins that have been shown to reduce hyper pigmentation. Drink a soy latte or eat some edamame & u may get a clearer complexion!

10. Look Younger with Oatmeal – oats play an important in skin healing. Incorporate oats as part our morning ritual – they take a while to breakdown – which keeps you full & don’t allow spiked blood sugar.

Pre – Wedding Skin Beauty

/ The Glowing Bride / 1 Comment

Who wants a GLOWING body on their WEDDING?!! After months of planning and wedding preparations, you deserve the best skin possible on your SPECIAL day. As a bride-to-be myself, I understand you don’t have much spare time or extra cash to avoid expensive professional services.

I have found a simply & effective way to have your body GLOWING is daily DRY BRUSHING, which can be done in the comfort of your bathroom!! Perfect!
WHEN?

Just before your shower or bath

WHY?

  • Removes dead layers of skin
  • Improves skin texture
  • Rejuvenates your cells
  • Increase blood circulation
  • Promotes smooth & even skin for entire body
  • Helps release fatty deposits under the skin
  • It unclogs pores & de-congestion skin

WHAT YOU NEED?

  • Natural bristled brush (plant based) (gentle on skin) & long handled brush for back & body oil
    Start with a soft or medium brush

HOW?

  • Always brush on dry skin
    Start from your feet & work your way up
  • Long upward strokes from your feet
  • Work on abdominal area last & brush in a clockwise direction
  • Use light pressure
  • Just the body, avoid face (too sensitive)
  • Takes about 3-5 mins
  • Then have your shower, to remove dry dead skin

WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • Skin maybe a little rosy, due to increase of blood circulation to skin surface
  • Also avoid areas of your skin that are sensitive, any wounds, rashes or sunburn. Don’t brush on freshly shaved legs!
  • In shower: use a moisturising gentle body wash
  • After shower: don’t forget to moisturise entire body

Any Q’s we would love to hear from you!

Happy brushing! Luv The Glowing Brides xx

WANT GLOWING SKIN? Yes please!! For BEST results, cleanse MORNING + NIGHT.

/ The Glowing Bride / Leave a comment


WHY? MORNING: Over night our skin repairs & recovers, therefore in morning you have more dead skin cells to slough off & excess serum. Water only will NOT remove all debris, hence a cleanser is a MUST HAVE for clearer skin. It will help boost skin hydration & then moisturise to seal in the water.
NIGHT: At night, our blood flow is increased & needs oxygen to repair itself. Repair is most effective when you have clear skin as it allows better absorption of ingredients. If you want to minimise acne & wake up with softer clearer skin, make sure you don’t forget this step!
Only takes 1-2 minutes but has AMAZING benefits!
Any Q’s just PM me X
Next posts will look at what type of cleanser is PERFECT for you!

5 Summer tips to GLOWING skin

/ The Glowing Bride / Leave a comment

Anyone else feeling not quite BRIDE READY after Christmas celebrations?! Me! Want to have GLOWING skin leading into the NEW YEAR? Here are our 5 SUMMER tips to GLOWING skin!

1. DRINK UP! So simple but one of the most effective ways to get glowing skin, is to drink water. Do you know that 90% of women have dehydrated skin, which causes premature lines & wrinkles. Glowing healthy skin, starts from within!HOW MUCH TO DRINK PER DAY?!

A good rule to follow, is to drink about half your weight in ounces each day.

Eg: If you weigh 120 pounds (54kgs). You should drink 60 ounces = 1.8 litres/day

Your body & skin will both thank you!
2. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN: This is one of the most important ways to protect our skin. Excess exposure to the harsh UV rays, causes wrinkles, sun spots, premature ageing & increases your chances of skin cancer.

– Always use a day moisturiser with SPF 15+

– Put on a hat!

3. EAT your way to GLOWING skin: Ensure you eat plenty of vegetables (5 serves per day) & fruit (2 serves per day).

– Vitamin A – It is essential for the repair system of the skin cells. It helps prevent acne & gives the skin a radiant glow. Found in: carrots, leafy greens, lettuce & sweet potatoes
– Vitamin C – Your body not only needs Vitamin C to create collagen that produces skin tissue, but also required to heal scars. Found in: peppers, leafy greens, kiwis, citrus, tomatoes, broccoli

– Vitamin E – Is an excellent antioxidant preventing damage to the skin. It helps to revive the skin cells. Found in: Almonds (the best!), raw seeds, kale, spinach, plant oils

– Omega 3 – Fatty acids – They also support the normal healthy skin cell turnover that helps keep acne at bay. Found in: flaxseed oil, salmon (fish oil), soybeans, chia seeds & walnuts

Foods to AVOID for brides – to – be

– processed foods

– coffee

– alcohol

– high salt intake

– high sugar intake

4. INVEST IN A FACE MASK: 

WHY? Main benefits: clarity of skin, cleanse, minimise pores, hydrates, exfoliates, improves tone.

WHICH ONE? Not sure which one is the BEST one for you?! Just contact us!

5. MOISTURISE: Over the Summer months, we have more moisture already on our skin from the temperature increase and increased sweating. Hence, our Summer moisturisers should be lighter & softer textures, so it doesn’t leave your skin greasy. If outdoors, find a moisturiser with SPF 15+ to avoid unnecessary sunburn.
