After those cold winter months of being covered up by layers of clothes, your skin may not be looking its best so here are some ideas about how you can get your skin ready for the summer holidays. PERFECT PINS Wave goodbye to waxing, razors and hair removal crème with laser hair removal treatments.

EXFOLIATE AWAY DEAD SKIN It is really important to exfoliate daily in the summer to get rid of flaky, dry skin on your body. The DMK Hydra louffa product is a superb, refreshing body cleanser and exfoliant in one and can be applied directly to the skin while showering or bathing. It is great for preparing the skin for a fake tan ensuring a long-lasting even coverage. Alternatively the Andresa Exfoliating Mitt is very effective – gentle and penetrates deep into the skin. KEEPYOUR SKIN MOISTURISED You will need to drink more water during the summer months to replenish the water you are losing. Drink at least two litres of water a day and use a good quality body lotion like DMK’s Maxim Moisture. THINK ABOUTYOUR NUTRITION At this time of year there are so many wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables in season so make sure you eat or juice these everyday to boost your skin health. Supplements like Colladeen Derma Plus contain super nutrients that can help the skin cope with exposure to sunlight and prevent sun damage so provides sun protection from within. Also don’t forget to apply your SPF broad spectrum sun cream once a day during the summer whether the sun is out or not.

This is now the most effective and pain-free way of getting rid of unwanted hair and will save you hours in the shower and release your inner bare-legged beauty. Starting a course of treatment as early as possible is important to ensure you complete the course before your holidays. BANISH THREAD VEINS If thread veins are making an unwelcome appearance and knocking your confidence, there are non-invasive treatments providing instant improvements. Laser technology is very effective – applying thermal energy in short bursts, closing the veins without damaging them so they disappear gradually during following treatment. SAY “TA-TA”TO UNWANTED TATTOOS If you’re afraid of showing your body because of a tattoo you’re no longer in love with, tattoos can be removed using laser treatments. The laser breaks down ink pigmentation, which your body can then flush away, leaving your tattoo a thing of the past, and leaving you free to focus on the present.
