Well, the Christmas Season is almost finished. For this crazy period, we happily over indulge in eating and drinking and then later regret it when we can’t fit into our clothes. Unfortunately for some of us, we end up with breakouts which we cannot seem to get rid of.
So it seems that it is time to find a natural cure to get rid of unsightly blemishes and help give your skin a healthy glow.
We are surrounded by natural products which when juiced, can help us to achieve this goal. Here are 8 fantastic juices which will put you on the path to getting great looking skin: -

Lemon/Lime Juice – When had first thing in the morning, lemon or lime juice detoxifies and cleanses the body. It is rich in Vitamin C which means it builds up the necessary collagen in our skin to maintain its youthful appearance.
Cucumber Juice – This is absolutely fantastic for glowing skin. Cucumber has a high water content which is great for flushing out all the toxins out of the body. As a result, the skin is beautifully hydrated. When drunk daily, it can give you a glowing and flawless complexion.
Grape Juice – This is another wonderful juice which is rich in antioxidant properties. It has been said to help those who suffer with acne and it is great at fighting aging.
Green Peas Juice – Now you might find this a little unusual as a choice but great things have been said about this vegetable as a juice. This vegetable is used in many vegetarian dishes. Green peas are rich sources of Vitamins B6 and K. The presence of folic acid in it makes it a staple food for our body. The juice prepared from green peas is very nutritious.

Do you colour or highlight your hair?
Have you chemically treated your hair?
Do you apply heat to your hair when styling it?
As a result of this treatment, has your hair become dry and brittle?
Well, there is a way to repair this damage. Shall I reveal the secret?
It’s Aluminé’s Soy and Baobab Oil Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner!
With today’s fashion and trends, it is not uncommon for hair to be coloured or highlighted. In addition, we blow-dry, tong and use all sorts of heat appliances to style our hair. I bet you are doing this now as we are in the festive season.
Unfortunately, this can have an adverse effect.
Our hair dries out and can become brittle as the various processes deprive the hair of moisture. It loses its elasticity which results in hair breakage.
What you have to do to solve the problem is put back in the moisture and strengthen the hair and Aluminé helps you to do just that.
The Soy and Baobab Oil Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner nourishes and protects your hair. They are both natural, chemical free, paraben free and sulfate free.
The ingredients are a combination of organic botanicals and vitamins which help to restore the colour to your hair along with strengthening it and restoring hydration.

5 Secret Steps To Glowing Skin!
Posted by Mel's Little Luxuries on Tuesday, 15 December 2015
The weather can be quite brutal to your hair during the winter months. It’s so crucial that you look after your hair as the cold weather can dry it out and cause it to become brittle.
To avoid this and encourage healthy looking hair, here are my top tips for caring for your hair in Winter.
Would you like to have healthy, nourished and beautiful looking hair? Well, I know the secret on how you can achieve this and I’m going to share that secret. It’s called Aluminé. This fantastic range of products has been created by the world renowned stylist, Peter Lamas, who was the main beauty expert on the film, The Titanic. He has dealt with a lot of the world’s celebrities such as Jacqueline Kennedy, Grace Kelly, Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Samuel L Jackson; the list goes on.
Because of his experience of working with the stars, he has seen how the elements can be quite damaging to the hair. So he has developed a range of products which are natural, chemical and paraben free and do not contain sulfates. They nourish, moisturize and protect the hair and there is a shampoo and conditioner for all types of hair.
My favourite is the Argan and Macadamia because it great for hair that is usually frizzy, coarse and dries out easily. I personally found it moisturized my hair, softened it and made it more manageable. I trust these products so much that I have used them on my children with excellent results.
So if you want the best looking healthy hair, (especially during the winter months), and want to find out more, contact me through this page or email me at melslittleluxuries@btopenworld.com.
Recently I’d fallen into the trap of going to bed really late. There were never enough hours in the day and I felt the need to stay up to catch up. That had the effect of me catching a few hours’ worth of sleep and before I knew it, it was time to get up again.
What were the consequences of this?
Well, as well as looking and feeling extremely tired, I ended up with dark circles around my eyes. If this continued, I would not be winning my battle to keep the wrinkles and fine lines at bay.
Quite simply put, I needed to get to bed early and I needed to get a decent night’s sleep.
In the meantime, what else could I do to ensure that the skin around my eyes stayed vibrant and youthful?
For this, I can strongly recommend The Brightening Emblica Eye Cream from Peter Lamas’ Aluminé range.
Who is Peter Lamas?
He is a world renowned beauty specialist who has dealt with celebrities such as Kate Winslet, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Cindy Crawford, Kim Kardashian and the list goes on.
He has devised a natural skincare range which is natural, paraben and chemical free. There are no sulfates which can cause allergies or irritations. The products have not been tested on animals and they are suitable for vegans.
The Aluminé range can be used by anyone. As Peter Lamas has said, “Skin has no gender” so it can be used by men too!
So back to the point, what does this eye cream do?
It restores firmness and illuminates around the eyes which means that the appearance of the dark circles is reduced. It is a beautiful moisturiser and you can feel how it hydrates and tones the skin. The intensity of the moisturiser means that the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines are reduced.
This gorgeous product is my new best friend. I use it as part of my daily skin regime. I know it works because people have commented on how my skin looks radiant which is pretty impressive when I have been burning the midnight oil.
