The Hair Doctor!

Feeling Great-

I have just recently been reading a blog about people who are not at all confident about their looks, and it made me feel very sad. I am not someone who has always found it easy to feel sexy and confident so would like to share a few of my thoughts on the subject.

I have always had issues with my skin which I finally discovered were due to digestion problems- I was eating the wrong foods for my body. Since this discovery I take much more care about what I put into my body and try to ask myself before I eat 'what good will this do me?' (ie choice over chocolate cake or apple cake apple is the clear winner- it's FRUIT! tee hee) But I am someone who loves my food and think it's so sad to be on diets all the time and being strict- everthing in moderation is a good way to go. If you have suffered with skin problems I would advise seeing a good ayurvedic or chinese doctor, to look at it holistically from the inside rather than using antibiotics of harsh products. Most of the products for acne are not good as they dry out the skin too much- I have found it much better to use a pharmacutical cleanser ( perfume and soap free) and generally no moisturiser- to leave the skin as natural as possible.

I always feel much better when I have done some excercize too, (I hate sweaty cardio stuff) but a fast walk or swim make me feel great. I feel that it is better to do 20 minutes a day or outdoor stuff than irregular forced gym sessions!

Since moving to Sardinia I have also realised the importance of having a great haircut to suit your face, body and hair type. In Geneva I was always blowdrying, straightening and colouring my hair, and suffered from dandruff and greasy scalp. I am now washing it and using various cunning ways to make dry naturally in a great shape (See the tips below, and more to come!) And I am really loving my hair now. So having clean hair in great condition makes a great difference. Also the natural form of our hair is almost always what suits us best. It's often the case of finding the correct products and method to bring out it's natural shape (Curls or straight)

I have also started wearing less makeup than before, and am starting to feel OK about it! I really see the difference in my skin texture being allowed to breathe as it should. Correct makeup colours for your skin tone are also vital. Those of us with a warm skin tone need something warm, and cool skin tones need cool colours (Blues and pinks rather than golds etc) And it really can be worth having a proffessional consultation (I think Mac are very good, and I love Shisedu foundation)

Please If you would like so advice do ask and send a photo if you like and I will gladly help if I can!
