steppinoutWe hate to point this out to you, but it’s almost october and that means that the Christmas party season is not that far away, towing it’s many delicacies of chocolate and sweets and all things fatty, is it a wonder that it’s one of the most dreaded times of the year for many of our women? Well who can blame them, stockings and bowls filled with chocolate is everyone’s dream and far too tempting to pass up, right?! But with that size 10, sexy little black dress hanging in your wardrobe, saying no is a sacrifice you’re going to have to take! None of this ‘one truffle won’t hurt… or another… or perhaps another… Oh! Just give me the whole damn box!!’

‘Moment on the lips, lifetime on the hips!’ I’m sure if you’re anything like most of us, then that one little statement will be drilled into the back of your brain for the next 2 and a half months, till it comes to the point when just picking up a delicious bar of smooth, elegant Galaxy hurts more than finding out your husband has been having it off with the skeletal blonde next door!

Your biggest brightest Christmas gift

Christmas TimeThe largest organ in the human body is the skin — and it’s the most visible too. If it’s not functioning properly it looks dull, drab and lifeless.

All sorts of things affect how it looks from what you eat, the environment around you and what you put on it. Now Christmas and New Year are on the horizon it’s the perfect opportunity to do something spectacular for yourself.

Firstly, you need to get your skin into a state of glowing health so people don’t spend Christmas sympathising with you — the ‘You poor dear, you look exhausted, you’ve done really well though, I expect it was worth it,’ sort of comment. Wouldn’t you much prefer ‘Wow, you look amazing. I don’t know how you do it — and look years younger than you have any right to!’

You can have visibly more youthful skin by Christmas with a range of options including skin peelsmicrodermabrasionlaser resurfacingdermal fillers or botulinum toxin — but you need to start NOW!
