Face
• Nothing is more attractive than a healthy smile so make sure you take care of all dental related issues well in advance. • To bring a glow to the skin you need to have a healthy diet full of fresh fruits, vegetables, a few nuts, seeds and proteins in the form of fish, soya and yogurt. Water is also essential for good skin, so drink several glasses daily. |

• Scars left by spots and pimples can be reduced by doing the following treatment for a minimum of three months, preferably everyday or even every alternate day. Take one strawberry and grate it to a very fine state, then add a few drops of lime juice and one teaspoon of honey. First massage the skin with this mixture and then leave for one hour. Rinse off with chilled water. This helps to heal the skin and lighten the marks. Avoid the sun as much as you can and when you go out every day wear a sun block (minimum factor 20). • For stressed out brides with stressed out skin Peel And Reveal, Elizabeth Arden, contains a cocktail of natural exfoliaters, anti-oxidants and healing ingredients which reveal a radiant complexion. Gatineau Electelle exfoliating treatment purifies all traces of impurities and refines pores. |
