BOOST YOUR SKIN WITH CITRUS Q – When I’m stressed, it shows in my skin. What tips have you got for naturally improving my complexion? Did you know that apart from making you feel energized, the benefits of oranges for the skin are many? This fruit is essential as it packs a punch of Vitamin C that your skin will love. Here are six beauty benefits of why orange deserves a spot in your skincare routine… •Prevents acne: The citric acid helps to control oil. Its acidic properties foster the opening of pores and carefully cleanse the debris off your face. It also controls excess sebum production, which prevents breakouts. •Controls aging: Vitamin C helps to even out your skin tone and texture by accelerating the production of collagen. By restoring the elasticity in your skin, its appearance becomes firmer, while keeping wrinkles at bay. •Exfoliates: The antioxidant properties help to exfoliate the skin and keep infections, and impurities at bay. •Contains hydrating properties: Its moisturising properties help to lock in skin moisture and get plump, supple, glowing skin. It boosts the blood flow to your face, pampering your skin with oxygen and keeping it clear. •Brightens up the skin: Vitamin C helps to reduce dark spots and reveal a more even-toned glow. •Reduces inflammation: If you’re dealing with irritated, sensitive skin, orange contains anti-inflammatory properties that help to heal redness and inflammation.

Embarking on a healthier lifestyle is sure to make you feel and look fabulous on your big day. You’ll be oozing confidence and that’ll shine through on your pics. There’s so much advice that I could share with you but here are my top tips: •Time – The sooner you start the better results you’ll have. For example, getting some definition in the arms will take about 12 weeks of training three times a week. Put some long-term goals together and break those down into short-term targets to make it feel achievable. •Diary – Will you make yourself go to the gym? Maybe you just have 30 minutes a day spare and will benefit more from an online personal trainer or online classes at home. Put it in the diary and do it! •Be committed – I personally love classes with music. Try a few different classes, but when you find the one you like, sign up to 10 or more. That way you’re committed to go. •Cut out the booze – Swap the after-work drinks for a speed walk or run with a colleague or friend. You’ll start to enjoy being hangover-free the next day and a lot fitter instead. •Diet diary – Keep a diet diary for three weeks. It’ll be clearer where the extra calories are coming from and naturally easier to cut down. Once you realise ketchup could be adding an extra 70 calories to your meal, or the bottle of wine you drink is 800 calories, you’ll be more inclined to cut back. •Hire a pro – Keep motivated by contacting a personal trainer or a health coach to help make your goals more specific and help you put a precise program together. Rachel Burgess | Heathy Living with Rachel Burgess | www.rachelburgess.online Q&A Beauty Look and feel the best version of you with our expert advice SEAMLESS COLOUR Q – My natural dark hair is quite dull. What can I do to lift it for my bridal style? I recommend adding layers of highlights and tonal corrections. It’s important to respect your natural base colour and the health of your hair as much as possible. Ask your stylist to hand-paint fine lustrous layers of highlights and total corrections. This will create a harmonious blend of colour, ensuring hair grows out naturally and avoiding the need for regular visits to the salon. The Limoz Signature Colour is a subtle way of lightening your hair that’s done so precisely and delicately. It should last for three months dependant on your hair, so no need for six-weekly appointments. This season, lightening colour services are popular. Since the recent transformations of Margot Robbie and Hailey Bieber, we’re seeing more demand for a more natural colour approach. Clients are moving away from the more dramatic sun-kissed face framing and instead requesting deep nourishing treatments, colour glosses and requesting to move closer to their natural base with more subtle face framing, low lights and natural root drags. We’ve been working like this for years but the demand for a natural lift and seamless colour with subtle depth is on the rise. What’s even more desirable about this trend is when summer comes around, your hair is a cleaner healthier canvas for those natural sun-kissed lights. We want to eliminate all blockiness and dramatic regrowths. Adding lightness to the hair is the perfect look for a bride as this subtle change will instantly make your hair look more polished naturally, and even more so when it’s styled. This look is beautiful when it hits the natural daylight too. Limoz Logli | https://limozlogli.com 74
