Do I need sun protection in winter?

Hopefully we will see a few more sunny winter days as we move into February! Certainly January has had a few and it feels a little spring like as we move into February. I was thinking about sun protection, as I know the UVA rays responsible for causing most of skin ageing, can penetrate glass, clouds and fog, but it also turns out they are the same all year round, they do not reduce like UVB (responsible for burning) rays do in winter!

So, if your reason for wearing sun screen is to reduce ageing it is a good idea to wear protection all year round. Pro-ageing is important, and we should never feel pressured to look ‘young’, but many of us want to age gracefully and naturally, whilst also doing what we can to remain looking vibrant. I am a Tropic ambassador and love their Sun Day facial protection. It is very light formula and natural, even certified safe for acquatic life. Ask me if you would like to try the small trial size for just £10.

Zone Face Lift and Rosacea

I have updated my treatment contraindications after much experience with Rosacea. Zone Face Lift is a vigorous and stimulating sculptural massage and may not be suitable for those with rosacea, but if the rosacea is mild then adaptions can be made to ZFL such as using amethyst rollers instead of Gua Sha and avoiding the stimulating massage on affected areas, usually cheeks.  Facial reflexology or a classic facial may be more suitable.

New Year Vision Board Workshop

https://www.harewoodholistics.com/event-details/new-year-vision-board-workshop

I am inviting you to a Vision Board workshop at Harewood Holsitics on Saturday 13th January 10am -1pm. Vision Boarding is the perfect way to kick off your new year intentions, dreams and plans. All materials are provided, you do not need to be artistic or creative, and you will leave with your own beautiful vision board to take home and help you stay on track in 2024.  The morning will be held in the lovely garden lodge with a warm stove in a small group. You will be able to take part in soulful meditations, have some guidance on creating a vision board, and what the year 2024 may hold symbolically. This allows you to feel and think about the year more broadly, and your plans holistically. It’s OK if you are not sure what the year holds, or have no specific plans, the workshop in intended to help you tap into those things in a deeper way. Please see the link above to book and see you there!

Reflexology Recearch

Researchers from Imperial College London recently made a discovery about the role of hair follicles in our ability to sense touch. Previously it was believed only the nerve endings were responsible for transmitting sensation of touch. The researchers measured the release of 5-HTP (serotonin building block) and histamine by the cells in hair follicles in response to light touch. Skin cells release noradrenaline in response to tactile stimulus. Therefore in a reflexology treatment it is important to stimulate the top of the foot, as well as the sole. Both release different hormone signals to the brain. It is also important to use light touch as well as firm pressure. I have spoken about this before and also this is the way I was trained. It’s amazing to see research now backing up ancient Chinese medicine.
