\nExfoliation can be done at home and at the spa. At home treatments can include brown sugar mixed with a moisturizer, or honey. If you prefer a spa treatment, opt for something that contains some sort of hydration agent as well.
\nExfoliation is necessary to remove dead skin cells that hinder moisture permeation into the skin.<\/p>\n
\nIn the winter months, we tend to lean towards hot drinks that comfort us and make contain quite a few extra calories. Water will help the body to detox, as well as aids in weight loss, so ensure at least 2l of water is consumed daily.<\/p>\n
\nWarm baths and showers are preferential. Hot showers can dry out the skin.<\/p>\n
\nWhen it comes to hydration, applying a moisturiser on a daily basis is a must. Due to the change of season, you may feel that you would like to intensively moisturise your skin and this can be done with a spa treatment such as the CSpa Hydrating Body Wrap on the menu at Granny Mouse Spa. The wrap cocoons the body, offering a range of benefits such as exfoliation, and hydration with neroli and vanilla essential oils. This treatment also aids restoration and relaxation.<\/p>\n
\nTo treat the body form the inside out, you may want to consider Vitamin E oil which can be purchased from health stores. It is, however, important to consult your doctor before consuming any supplement.\u00a0 Vitamin E Oil is also found in many lotions and moisturisers and is said to block free radicals from one\u2019s body and support immune function.<\/p>\n
