While sniffles can’t always be avoided, scaley skin sure can be. Just because we are hiding under layers doesn’t mean our skin should be too; instantly moisturise and fortify thirsty skin for long-term strength, resilience and a healthy glow. Brighten up the gloomiest of winter days with glowing skin courtesy of Mio’s Skincare’s moisture miracles.
Best-known for high intensity bodycare, Mio’s range of fit skin products ensures that your skin always performs at its peak, regardless of the season. Say goodbye to scaleys and hello to radiant skin! With Mio Double Buff Dual Action Enzyme Exfoliator feel great in the buff and get ready for body buffing on speed. Apply this dual action body scrub before moisturising to instantly transform rough, dull skin thanks to various fruit extracts, organic sweet almond oil and bamboo stem extract among others.
Now that your skin’s got a face lift, apply Mio’s Future Proof Firming Body Butter to seal the deal. This over-achieving, mega-moisturising life saver is set to increase bounce, resilience and fight free radicals to keep your skin strong and supple with a healthy 24-hour glow. For the best results, use on shower damp skin to seal in extra moisture once a day. To reap maximum benefits, use deep, upward strokes toward the heart.
Don’t forget to exercise
Mio recommends working the muscles beneath to boost circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the cells and helping remove toxins faster. Try this quick quads (AKA Squats) workout – you can do it anywhere!
- Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width with your hips, knees and ankles stacked.
- Roll your shoulders back and extend your arms in front of you. Keep your chest out, don’t hunch.
- Move as if you’re going to sit on a chair, sticking your bum out whilst keeping your chest and shoulders upright. Try to get your hips below your knees or go as low as you can go (and still be able to stand up).
- Hold your tummy firmly and push through your heels to return to the standing position.
- As you stand, give your butt cheeks a little extra forward squeeze, like a controlled disco hip thrust, just to really engage those glutes.
- Repeat 15 times
A few winter nutrition tips
Hydrating your skin goes beyond the surface so make sure that your beauty regime incorporates the following tasty tips this winter;
- Eat your water – Water-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables are rich in nutrients and valuable hydration that can help plump up your skin.
- Oily fish – One of the best sources of skin strengthening essential fatty acids in the world is salmon and other oily fish.
- Dark green vegetables – Rich colours in nature are produced by antioxidants so eating dark green leafy salads help keep your skin as fit as possible. Green tea is also great!
- Hempseed oil – Though not one of the most common oils out there, this particular one has the best balance of Omega 3 and 6 that your skin needs. Use it on salads in place of olive oil or try a bit to lightly sauté your dark green vegetables.
