Q&A Beauty Look the best version of you with our expert advice RELAX AND REJUVENATE I’m not sleeping well at the moment. What could I do to help me relax? I don’t want dark eyes on our big day! Sleep’s the best way to rejuvenate and replenish your body. It’s important that you factor in some time to yourself. We see a lot of brides, who come in for a monthly top to toe Harmonising Treatment – 90 minutes of pampering therapy. The treatment includes a hands on aculymphatic facial (with micro dermabrasion, if required), a body and scalp massage as well as therapeutic lymphatic drainage boots and we use heated oils that are tailormade to complement your body’s Ayurvedic constitution. It helps to calm and balance your mind and body, so you’re more relaxed and more likely to sleep easily. Brides also benefit from using an aromatherapy face oil blend after cleansing. Our Special Oil contains calming rosehip, saffron, hemp and argan oil and it can also be used on the scalp. When applying it to your face, massage around your eyes. Press gently for a couple of seconds at the point where the top of your nose meets your eyebrows and massage in a clockwise direction five to six times. This motion acts as a pump and is excellent for puffy, tired eyes and those prone to dark circles. When massaging your scalp, use the balls of your fingers in small circular motions to release any tightness. You’ll notice how your body learns to naturally relax. Priti Vyas | Bharti Vyas | www.bharti-vyas.com LUSCIOUS LOCKS My dark hair feels quite dull. What can I do to add some depth and different tones to create the wow-factor look? I’d suggest adding a subtle face frame of highlights, no more than two shades lighter than your natural hair colour. A professional stylist will know which shades are going to match your natural colour for a soft look that doesn’t feel too far away from your original hair colour. If you decide to style your hair down, this will look gorgeous with a natural wave as it will accentuate the colour. I’d recommend finishing with a high-shine gloss treatment for radiant hair on the big day, making you feel more confident, beautiful and ready to walk down the aisle.
