The transition from winter to spring can be rough on your body. That’s why we’ve asked nutritional therapist and author Sally-Ann Creed to share her top tips for healthier skin and effective weight loss in spring.
1 Skip the alcohol for sparkling water. Alcohol puts the breaks on weight loss and causes dull, lifeless skin.
2 At least twice a week, use a moisturising body scrub before your shower. Smooth skin looks healthier and younger in a swimsuit.
3 Don’t skimp on animal protein – it’s good for your skin and for weight loss as lots of energy is burnt digesting it.
4 A good night’s rest is vital for vibrant, glowing skin. Plus, depriving your body of sleep means you’ll be hungrier the next day.
5 The caffeine in tea bags is great for reducing puffy eyes. But don’t drink tea more than twice a day, and pass on the milk.
6 Drink a glass of water mixed with apple cider vinegar before each meal. Just watch the improvement in your skin and health over time.
7 Break up with sugar! It ages your skin and sabotages your weight loss. Try using xylitol or erythritol instead.
8 Give up grains and bread – they make you put on weight but don’t fill you up. Replace them with homemade seed crackers.
9 Include more saturated fat in your diet. This healthy fat will moisturise your skin and help you lose weight.
10 Dump ALL seed oils and use more real butter – watch your weight drop and your skin glow!
