Maintaining a soft and healthy skin is not hard if you eat the right kind of food, drink plenty of water, good sleep, healthy and a balance lifestyle.

Staying under the sun will not be a problem with proper sun protection cream and following some great tips on how to prevent wrinkles. And if you are seriously want to have a great skin, the very first thing to do and wear a hat and good quality sunscreen when out in the sunshine. Because our skin is affected by our genes, inner nutrition – what we eat and drink, emotional health, exercise and outer nutrition – how we take care of our skin.

If you want your skin to look and feel great, deep cleansing is very important. This should be done first thing in the morning and last thing at night to remove pore-clogging dirt. Toning your skin is designed to remove any last traces of cleanser, and of course, applying a moisturizer- to help restore the moisture loss caused by the drying effects of sunlight, central heating, wind, cold and pollution. A good daytime moisturizer should contain a sunscreen and easily absorbs into the skin. At night you should use a richer, more nourishing cream, as this is when your skin more readily absorbs moisture.

The skin is the largest organ of the body and yet most of us don’t do enough to keep our skin healthy. We should always remember to make an effort to take care of it correctly.

This is one of the Parlour’s most popular products and it’s easy to see why. It has a wonderful aroma, lathers very well and offers a luxurious bathing experience. The jojoba beads are small and soft, so are gentle enough to be used on the daily on the face as well as the rest of the body.

It is an exemplary cleanser and I find it’s one of the best make-up removers on the market. It leaves the skin cleansed but not dry or taut.

A firm family favourite, it’s wonderful for problem skin – eczema, psoriasis, acne, etc. It can be used as a shampoo and due to it’s moisturising properties would be particularly suitable for afro hair but is not recommended for locs due to the presence of the jojoba beads which could be very difficult to remove from locked hair.

Shea moisture’s liquid black soap is available from the bath & body section of the Parlour

I had a lovely anniversary weekend with my DH which included taking in a great Jill Scott show and a hotel stay in the country. It was a great time, dogged by one thing – spots!

I have no idea why they suddenly decided to descend upon my face but they were looking like great beacons. I felt like a teenager again, which in this case wasn’t such a nice feeling

My husband had brought some zeoderm+ cream, by Salcura along just in case he got razor rash on his face. Unfortunately his skin did become irritated. He has sensitive skin and has to be careful when shaving. He applied some cream to his face, and, after cleansing and toning I decided to apply a generous amount of zeoderm+ to my face too.

This morning when I woke up, my spots had all dried up! I was really pleased The skin on my husband’s face had also gone back to looking clean shaven, not angry and irritated.

Zeoderm+ really is great stuff. It’s a unique blend of nano-minerals and vital nutrients, suitable for adults and children who may be prone to dry or irritated skin symptoms like acne, wounds, burns, bites, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and skin allergies. It’s quickly absorbed, non sticky and penetrates deep down for maximum moisturisation.

One of the main, active ingredients in Zeoderm+ are natural minerals in a nano form. Zeomaz, (the most notable of the nano-minerals) has been classified as a Medical Product Class 1 in Germany for skin and wound care.
