TREATMENT OF THE MONTH!

Body Coffee - a fantastic product that is used in our Cocoa Coffee Body Treatment!

BODYCOFFEE has combined the therapeutic benefits of coffee with other healing ingredients such as olive and hemp seed oils, shea butter and herbal extracts. 

Our one hour treatment includes body brushing to stimulate your lymph system to aid detoxification, a relaxing full body massage and a stimulating scalp massage.  This treatment helps eliminate cellulite and smells great too!

*Coffee is an antioxidant or free radical scavenger, neutralizing destructive oxidation reactions (oxidation is the culprit of everything from aging to eczema).

*Caffeine improves micro-cellular circulation and breaks up fatty deposits that can cause cellulite.

*Coffee is a natural astringent with the same 4.5 pH balance as our skin, which helps it ward off acne and other blemishes.

*Coffee provides UVA/UVB protection by screening out sun rays responsible for burning, premature ageing and skin cancer.

*Coffee is a great cleanser and natural odor absorber.

Julia Roberts is one of the A-list celebrities who loves Body Coffee. According to August's Marie Claire she uses the Body Coffee range which stimulates your senses and improves micro-circulation - great for improving skin tone! So if you haven't tried our Body Coffee treatment yet then what are you waiting for? - If its good enough for A-listers, its good enough for you!

1 hour of pure indulgence - only £40!

 

SPRING TIME TONICS

Its time to think about getting ourselves ready for Springtime.  Its a good time to give your face a real boost with some great ingredients and thats exactly what we do at The Lakes!  You face may look sluggish and tired, your skin dry, lined and flakey,  your pores enlarged or your lips dry, your eyes puffy and dark - why  not give yourself a treat and indulge in a relaxing, uplifting facial and let us work our  magic on you! 

We at The Lakes are always keen to share our beauty secrets with you so here are a few hints and tips to get you going and to give you a spring in your step this spring time!

Boost your immunity - juice half a lemon, 2 garlic cloves, half a grapefruit and half a pineapple and drink a big glass twice daily.

Feeling run down - Crush 1tsp of caraway seeds and cover with 8fl oz of boiling water, steep to taste and sweeten with honey.

Dull skin - Steep 1 tsp of dried birch tea leaves and sweeten with honey, brilliant for sluggish circulation and dull skin!

Herbal bath - Tie a bunch of mint and rosemary under the hot tap and let the water run through it to fragrance your bath. This will help to refresh and uplift whilst clearing your head, ward of colds and brighten your mood.

Water, water everywhere - Help clear your skin and give a brighter look to it by drinking lots of water - aim for 6 glasses a day and see your skin brighten and your eyes shine!

BEAUTY HINTS AND TIPS FROM THE LAKES! BEAUTY DETOX

Renew your weary skin - Exfoliation is crucial if you are worried about your skin looking tired, dull and lined, and the older your skin, the more you need to do it.  The epidermis (upper layers of skin) thins with age because cell renewal slows down, and unless we stimulate this process, the skin becomes slack. Don't be too rough when exfoliating and support your skin by lifting and holding it upward with one hand. We can show you how to do this when you are next at The Lakes! Spots and blemishes - There are the classic signal that all's not well within.  There are a number of reflexology zones in the face, and the zone between the brows for instance is your liver.  If you get a single, angry, inflamed spot here, its a clear sign that your liver is inflamed and needs a detox.  A spot in the actual eyebrow is a sign that there are too many fats and sugars in your diet and that you have a toxic build-up going on. Random spots mean that you are stressed and are a classic sign that your skin is overloaded, inflamed and reacting. Never pick or squeeze spots as this can lead to scarring. Just keep your skin clean and use an antiseptic cream. Reduce the puffy face - Massage makes the greatest difference to your skin. Regular massage of the face will really help with puffiness and will reveal a lighter, brighter complexion. A monthly massage works wonders for the face - it includes the neck as this contains lymph nodes and massage towards the nodes will help rid the face of toxins.  Always work towards the hairline and outwards, never drag the face down. Don't massage too close to the eyes with oil as this will cause your eyes to puff. Puffy, dark eyes? - The one thing everyone should know is never put eye cream on your actual eyelids. The skin in this area is thinner and can't cope with heavy eye creams. Dot the cream gently (using your ring finger as this finger is less harsh) over your eyebrow/brow bone and just at the top of your cheekbone where it starts to meet the eyelid area underneath your eye (on the orbit bone). Your eyes will then draw up as much of the product as it needs by itself.  Dark circles are often hereditary, but the thing that no-one ever talks about, which happens more as we get older, is the dark circles often appear to darken.  As skin becomes thinner we lose the cushion of collagen and elastic, so you can see the blood and lymph right under the skin's surface and it looks more like bruising. Drinking more water really can help this in this instance as it weakens the level of toxins in the lymph and encourages drainage. Regular eye treatments can also help with the appearance greatly - our chocolate facial includes an eye treatment that will help combat these issues.

 Please note that we only accept either cash or cheque
