What's hot
Festive fitness
As we move into November, the jingle bells of Christmas are getting closer and closer. And while we all love the festive season, it’s not the healthiest of times.
Whether we’re gorging on mince pies, glugging wine by the case, or staying up late every night, it all takes a toll on our health. So this year, prepare your body and make sure you’re fighting fit for the party season.
Slow it down
With an endless supply of party food, gaining weight over Christmas is inevitable. But recent studies have found that slowing down whilst eating could decrease the risk of being overweight. Scientists in Japan studied the eating habits of 5,000 people and found the quickest eaters to be heavy, while the slowest were the lightest.
Pink perfection
Pink cheeks and matching eyes were massive on the catwalk this season, which is the perfect look for winter. Not only is it ultra-feminine, but it’ll shower your complexion with a rosy, healthy glow.
Tan without travel
Sometimes, we all need a little beauty help. With Christmas just around the corner, most of us can’t afford to splash out on a winter break. So if you want tanned, healthy looking skin, you simply have to cheat. And St. Tropez’s everyday self tan is the way to do it.
Credit crunch cream
The shops are crammed with ‘wonder creams’ that claim to slow down the ageing process, which usually come with a hefty price tag. However, Tesco's new Q10 Derma Inntensive is currently selling around 1.5 packs a minute, outselling the Nivea range 150 times over. And at £1.79, it's not surprising.
Morning revival
Of course, it’s a forgone conclusion that we’ll all drink far too much over Christmas. So make sure the house is stocked with Ibuprofen for headaches, cold spoons and cucumbers for puffy eyes, and ice cold mineral water for dehydration.
Eight hour magic
Unhealthy food, late nights and plenty of alcohol play havoc with your skin. And that’s pretty much Christmas in a nut shell. So to keep your skin looking smooth, vibrant and healthy, you’re going to need an effective, classic cream. And what better choice than Elizabeth Arden’s famous Eight Hour Cream?
Super fruit
If you want to stay in the pink, then you need to start tucking into pomegranates. We all know that fruit’s good for us, but this particular type has some impressive powers. Not only is it generally healthy, but it also has the potential to reduce heart disease, lower blood pressure and even fight dental plaque.
