Skinny Dip







I pulled this this wonderful Micro-Dermabrasion kit from a Nutrimetics party lucky dip last month for half it's usual price of $80.95. I thought I was saving money, but you ladies all know how freebies usually turn out - I am now addicted and almost willing to spend the $80.95 for a replacement kit when this one runs out.

A lot of women go through the pain and expense of Acid Peels in salons. But this exfoliant gets the same results for just 2 minutes of scrubbing in the shower, once a week.





As you can see, the exfoliant itself is still a smooth, gentle paste for the face. Since using Micro-Dermabrasion, my skin has been smooth and clear. I get even better results than when I am at the Beach with the sand and sea salt being a natural exfoliator. i wonder what other treats Nutrimetics has available?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EDITTED to add: After using this moisturiser a bit more, I have noticed how red and angry it makes my skin for an hour or so after use. A red, hot reash creeps across wherever I have spread it. Turns out this moisturiser has too much SPF in it for me as I am madly allergic. (it does say clearly 'SPF 25' on the front of the bottle... I just don't know my limits with moisturisers and makeup) I've only ever been able to use Ell McPhearson's Invisible Zinc when spending hours in the sun. But moisturisers and foundations have never been a problem until now.

Anyway I will continue to use the scrub, but have gifted the moisturiser to a friend of mine who is already addicted to Nutrimetics Micro-dermabrasion.

Longer Locks

When I was 14 I cut off my waist-length hair to a short bob... and of course, now 9 years later, just like my mother warned me - I am trying to grow it back!


Fact is, my hair will never be that healthy again. It hadn't been dyed and bleached and straightened to breaking point! It's a catch 22, the whole reason I want long hair, is so that I can have it curled and hairsprayed into fancy up-dos... but you can't have long hair if you neglect it.


Here are a few things I've learnt that encourage your hair to shine and grow...




Scalp Massages:
That's right ladies, if you're boyfriend wants you to have long hair - you have the perfect excuse to either drop a bit of extra money on that salon without him complaining OR my favourite... have him doting over you once a week and giving you the massage himself!!


Trim dead hair:
I know you're attached to the length but if you really have split ends, they will just break and travel further up and make your hair look thin and unhealthy.


Codliver Oil:
A lot of people will recommend silica tablets etc. But I would suggest trying something like Codliver Oil tablets first. It is cheaper and should do the job as well as make your skin and nails healthier. It has high levels of Omega-3 and Vitamins D & A.
