Soft,smooth,even-textured skin is a great blank canvas,but unfortunately this kind of an all-over body blitz on a day-to-day basic is generally impossible unless we’ve either an obliging neighbour or deep pockets.Theres no excuse not to exfoliate and body brush regularly though as this will keep skin looking and feeling ultra-soft.And dont’t forget to smother your skin with a moisturiser or almond oil afterwards.Beauty experts recommend daily body brushing before having a bath or shower,as this removes dead skin cells and helps your body to absorb beauty productsIt’s also said to boost circulation and stimulate your lymph glands,which are responsible for eliminating toxins from your body.So,how do you do it?You take your body brush and,making sure your skin is dry,brush in long strokes towards your heart for anout five minutes.You can also rev up your circulation and smooth rough skin with an invigorating scrub.A good loofah or some rough sea salt will do the trick.Buff away in circles,paying particular attention to feet,elbows and knees.Rinse off throughly and blast your skin with some cold water.Now it’s time to focus on your face.First,use a gentle lotion to remove your eye make-up (heavy creamscan leave your eyes puffy).Be sure to use light inward movements to avoid dragging your skin.Then remove the rest pf your make-up with a good cleanser – startat the base of your neck and move upwards and outwards in light.stroking movements.Next,exfoliate your skin to remove the dead skin cells,which can make your complexion dull.A handful of oats mixed with double cream is a great kitchen exfoliator.Just rub in gently and rinse off.Next,fill a bowl withj warm (not boiling) water and add a few drops of essential oil such as lavender or eucalyptus.Wrap your hair in a towel and inhale for five minutes (avoid this if you tend to get broken capillaries on your nose or cheeks.)Now’s a great time to tidy your eyebrows,as it’s less tortuous to extract hairs when your pores are open.Then slap on a face mask.Home-made methods include mashing up an avocado and massaging it into your face using the stone (avocadois naturally moisturising).Alternatively,a great ways to tighten up oily skin is to whisk up an egg and rub onto your face.Remove the mask with warm water and the pat your skin dry.Give your skin a five-minute massage using an aromatheraphy oil (or natural almond oil) then remove any excess oil with a toner.Aplly some eye gel,putting it gently inwards towards your nose,and finally finish up with your usual  moisturiser.
