It’s Spring – just like that! We know; it felt like winter was never going to end. But the mornings are already lighter, which means that summer is on its way!

Time To Eat Light
Exercise is good, but exercise combined with healthy eating is like magic! This time of year means more fresh fruit, lighter meals and it’s a really good excuse to get rid of sugar and processed foods. Start with the fridge and the kitchen cupboards – don’t keep any unhealthy snacks around. If you need some inspiration for healthy eating, see Weightloss: What am I doing Wrong? Also, see why it can save you money (and weight) to eat foods that are in season.
Time To Get Rid Of Winter Skin
You’ve spent winter wrapped up in layers – and that includes your feet! How do you get your skin looking toned and radiant in time for summer sandals and no sleeves? The first secret is: exfoliation. If you don’t exfoliate your skin regularly, the skin cells that die collect on the surface of your skin, giving it that dry, dull look. Make your skin glow by exfoliating a couple of times a week with a natural exfoliating scrub to remove all dull, winter skin.
The second secret is: moisture, moisture, moisture! Once the dull skin is gone, it’s time for moisturiser – and this is for men and women! Follow any washing or exfoliation with a moisturiser. And get into the habit of putting on sunscreen; by the time summer is at full burn, it will be an automatic part of your daily routine. Here’s some more on how to make your skin glow!
