Nail care important as autumn approaches

As the autumn approaches and the days grow colder, it is more important to take good care of your nails.
Merle Brown, writer of the 5pm Health and Beauty blog, said cold weather can cause nails to become dry or brittle.
Combined with indoor heating, this means nails may be more prone to breaking or chipping, unless they are treated to regular manicures.
She also pointed out that nails tend to grow more slowly in the colder months due to slower circulation and less exercise.
This means that if you're a fan of longer nails, you need to give them the best chance possible to lengthen and remain strong.
Ms Brown recommended leaving the nail polish off for a few days or a week if possible to let the nails breathe.
She also suggested having a manicure once a month and using a good quality hand cream, applied to the nails as well as the skin of the hands.
"Use a good cuticle cream, or oil, and massage it in," she advised. "Use a hand cream - keep it on the desk, and in your handbag."
There are a number of herbal oils, tinctures and drinks that are beneficial for healthy nails, such as Fushi's skin, hair and nails tincture, which supplies silica to the nails to strengthen them and promote cellular regeneration.
Wearing gloves in the winter is another of Ms Brown's tips or healthy nails, as is using a base coat underneath dark and glitter-based polishes.
"Never bite your nails, never cut them unnecessarily and try and keep them at a manageable length with proper filing," she added.
"It's better in winter if they are shorter and rounder, that way they will break less easily."

- The Great Pomegranate Seed Oil Jan 15, 2021Hi Kianouche, Thank you for your message. I would recommend to mix pomegranate oil with Marula oil for what you are looking to treat. A few drops of antioxidant-rich Marula oil mixed with Pomegranate oil can boost efficacy and help restore your skin’s functions in perfect equilibrium. Long term use may visibly minimise pores, brighten the skin, protect it from the oxidative damage caused by pollution, tones down pigmentation and assists with scar tissue healing. Hope this helps :)
- The Great Pomegranate Seed Oil Jan 15, 2021Hi I’ve bought some of your pomegranate oil, together with rosehip and marula oils. Which of the other two oils would be better to mix with pomegranate oil for mature skin with hyperpigmentation due to sun damage and sometimes prone to spots and milia when using rich moisturisers. Also, can I use pomegranate oil by itself or combined with either of the other two oils around my eyes

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 14, 2021Hi Dolores, thank you for your message!Ashwagandha is an adaptogen so will adapt to your own bodies rhythm. It is a powerful way to regulate energy levels through the day so in some people may boost circulation and cell activity, which is why you may find yourself with insomnia. Everyone is unique and different, so will react to herbs and remedies differently. As you are using bio-identical hormones, I would advise you check with your GP, as there are often interferences with herbs. Perhaps you should try taking your Ashwagandha in the morning to regulate your bodies rhythm through the day.
