Day 35: Operation Raise My Vibration Beauty Edit The skin is the largest organ in the body and keeping it in tip top condition affects how we feel energetically and look chronologically. Everything that the skin encounters affects our entire body, so for example apparently if you rub garlic on your foot you can taste it in your mouth, I’m taking the experts word for this as its a bit weird. Anyway the point of this is that we can positively affect our largest organ in a plethora of ways. Firstly we have the basics which we all know but most of us ignore because they are frankly booorinnnng…detox, sleep and drink shed loads of water. Once we’ve done the spring cleaning we can start with the fun stuff. Dry skin brushing is imperative as it unclogs the pores allowing all the toxins that you are expelling to be released. Sweat it out - hit the gym, the sheets or the sauna! And finally we get to my favourite guilty pleasure…potions and lotions! I’ve always been a massive fan of beauty products but in the past I’ve relied entirely on them and expected miracles. I’m loving this new guilt free feeling of having done the hard work first, so now I’m giving these gorgeous and often expensive products the best chance to work their magic. Here are my top tip, five star, can’t live without beauty products to assist you in your detox journey.

My go-to body beauty brand to assist the skin in cleaning out toxic laden pores is Urban-Veda. This fab brand is based on ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, high quality sustainable ingredients which are not tested on animals. The purifying range uses cold-pressed pure Neem and refreshing essential oils, which combine to help remove impurities and prevent congestion. The body scrub is a stand out winner. You can try all of this range here, trust me they didn’t win all these awards for nothing! http://www.urbanveda.co.uk/body-care/exfoliate/purifying-complete-discovery-set

Neals yard - I discovered that Neals Yard Products really do work when I was four months into my first pregnancy and big as a house. I already had stretch marks and was getting really concerned. I was given NYR Mothers Balm and not only did the stretch marks I already had disappear but I did not get any more (even though I ended up being 9 stone heavier than I started!). In short I’m a believer and so I swear by the following essential products.. Rose facial oil for the daytime. This beautiful oil gives the skin a silk like quality and smells divine. I love the white tea toning eye gel and it miraculously shrinks my puffy bags. As the wild rose beauty balm is quite heavy this only really works at night but my god does it work! I would recommend this balm to anyone who has dry, sun or smoke damaged skin.

Aurelia probiotic skincare This award winning, organic and frankly off the dial amazing beauty brand is my new favourite. Everyone is crazy about it and I can see why. The high quality ingredients used start to work immediately and even after a few days the skins luminosity is vastly improved. You can try all of their award winners in their limited edition ‘Ultimate Natural Beauty Bible Winners 'and see for yourself. My 'can’t live withouts’ are the 'Miracle Cleanser’, Cell Revitalise Day Moisturiser and Cell Repair Night Oil. The latter smells so blissful that I can’t wait for bedtime. Zzzzz
