Milk Baths

Cleopatra is famous for bathing in luxurious milk baths but you don't have to go that far to get beautifully soft skin. Try adding a cup full of powdered milk to your bath! Yes, really. The lactic acid in the milk powder will remove dead skin cells leaving your skin silky soft. Just sprinkle in under the hot water tap and for a real touch of luxury add a few drops of essential oil such as jasmine or rose.

RED VEINS

Red veins on your face can look unsightly but with the latest Vein-Vanishing treatments can give you back your confidence. Red Veins are caused by fragility of small capillaries in the skin. 'Factors known to increase the incidence of broken capillaries include exposure to sun, wind and temperature extremes' says DR Raus Rotnavel, Consultant Dermatologist and adviser to Neutrogina. "Steroid Creams, hormonal changes during pregnancy, and radiotherapy are also known to cause broken capillaries. Additionally, they are seen in conjunction with the skin condition rosacea". Laser treatment is generally the most effective way of getting rid of red veins. However, some people believe complementary medicine can also help the problem. Eating a diet rich in Vitamin C may help strengthen capillaries, and taking extra Vitamin E could help repair broken capillaries to lessen the red, ruddy look of the skin. Vatican K applied directly to the skin is said to help strengthen the veins and reduce redness.

Medik8 Solutions Red Alert is a powerful active ingredients it helps to target skin redness. They act by promoting anti-oxidation, vein-wall strengthening and enhanced coagulation (blood clotting at site capillary of damage). There is no more powerful topical formula for cosmetically managing skin redness.

Q: I have a problem with static after I have washed my hair. Any tips?

A: Mark Hayes from Vidal Sassoon Salons says "Use leave-in conditioners to add weight and minimise static. Also bear in mind that the most common cause of static hair is overdrying. The special properties within heat-protection sprays or styling lotions will provide a barrier against static, and using a boar's bristle brush, as opposed to a plastic one, will also help fight that flyaway hair.
