WINTER WELLNESS With the chilly winter weather well and truly here, here from our experts for keeping your health and wellness goals on track this season. HEALTHY SKIN With Dr Linda from Artisan Aesthetic Clinics “As much as I love a cosy winter morning curled up with a coffee and the paper, the cooler weather can definitely wreak havoc with our skin. Two ways I recommend to combat winter is to look at hydrating facials and beauty boosters. Professional in-clinic treatments such as our DMK Enzyme facial will penetrate deep within the skin, detoxifying, hydrating and producing healthy new skin cells. Beauty Boosters containing hyaluronic acid are a great go to for retaining moisture in the skin. These tiny injections instantly plump and hydrate the skin for a refreshed look.” NUTRITION With Laura Ford, Dietitian, Jenny Craig “As the months get colder, you may find that you start to crave your favourite winter comfort foods. While there’s nothing wrong with the occasional comforting treat, there are plenty of nourishing winter foods you can include that will keep you warm and satisfied during the cooler months. To help you make wise choices over the winter, be sure to include plenty of fruit and veggies in your day, stay hydrated by drinking water and herbal teas and if you’ve been craving a certain comfort food, enjoy it! Just have a small portion, eat mindfully and remember to load up your plate with non-starchy veggies too.” Balance your body, soul & mind with these great buys: MINDFULNESS With Nalini from The Floating Lotus “Even though it’s tempting to stay under the covers, the best way to stay warm and healthy in winter is to move your body. Yoga and Pilates are both great ways to keep the body functioning and can be done indoors. When the weather is good though, be sure to get out into the sun for a dose of Vitamin D to regulate your immune system and help ward off the winter blues. The way we breathe can affect our physical and mental health. Because it happens automatically, it can be easy to forget about but the deeper your breath, the more nourished and relaxed you will feel. If you find yourself feeling anxious, unfocussed or flat, take 5 mindful breaths, inhaling and exhaling smoothly for a count of 5.” Sense Ultrasonic Destress Diffuser Oil available from Adairs $14.99 Skinny Bear Salad Bowl available from Bear Boy Espresso $16.00 Sleep Maker Hush Pillow available from Bedshed $270.00 Discover the benefits of yoga and Pilates with a class pass for The Floating Lotus Studio.
