Health and beauty expert Amy Weston from thespa at Double Tree by Hilton, Cadbury House gives tips on how to look and feel confident this summer.
Skincare is hugely important in summer months especially because more of it will on show! Exfoliation and moisturising is key, but there are a few extra steps you can take to get perfect glowing skin. First of all specialist body wraps are great at smoothing the appearance of cellulite and firming up skin. Our Lumafirm wrap and Body Sculpting wrap will leave you feeling radiant and more toned. Most importantly always protect your skin with sunscreen, you may not see the benefits now but you will in years to come.
It’s amazing what a good manicure and pedicure can do for your self-esteem. Tidying up your nails and toes, and adding a bright summery nail polish will help you feel more confident and look great in your summer sandals. Gel treatments use a semi-permanent polish which can last up to three weeks – perfect for your holidays! Pastels, neons and metallics are hot this summer. cadburyhotelbristol.co.uk
