TEA-TIME
As a nation of tea drinkers
we all know how wonderful a good cup of tea is for every kind of
occasion, but how about going green? Green tea is a powerful anti-oxidant,
which means it helps fight ageing and the damaging effects of free
radicals. Its also said to help boost the immune system and lower
cholesterol levels.
Latest research also shows that green tea extracts may have a slimming
effect. Apparently, it works to increase energy expenditure, helping
to burn off fat.
So think about exchanging your usual tea bag once in a while for
a cup of this wonder brew! And whilst your at it, why not try Elizabeth
Ardens Green Tea Scent Spray, an unusual fragrance, but said to
lift and energise the senses. |

DID
YOU KNOW
that blonde hair is more porous
and draws in more smoke and air pollution than other shades. Use
a detox shampoo every couple of weeks to freshen and always use
a rich conditioner to seal cuticles. |
HOLIDAYS
SNAPS
Whilst we all love the sunshine at this time of year, for some,
even the lightest exposure to sunshine causes an itchy rash that
due to sensitivity to sunlight. Photosensitivity as its known can
be caused by a rare disease so if its particularly severe its worth
mentioning to your GP. Most often, though, it can be caused by the
ingestion of various medications, including over-the-counter remedies.
Man chemicals applied to the skin can also have the same result,
especially perfumes and even some sun tan lotions!
It would be well worthwhile to experiment by avoiding anything perfumed,
including soaps etc before going out into sun and use a full sun-block
on exposed skin. Do not, of course , stop taking any medication
prescribed for you but you may want to ask your GP if an alternative
is available.

Many
readers ask if there are any ways to help hair to grow faster, especially
after disastrous hair cuts!
Expert trichologist Philp Kingsley says 'Try
increasing your intake of protein, found in meat, dairy products
and nuts, and have a hearty breakfast. Hair folicles need most energy
in the morning, so feed your hair.
Daily scalp massaging also promotes growth.' |
