When we talk about hydrated skin, we often think about what we put in, but true hydration is also about what we help the body release. This past week by the sea, I’ve been leaning into lymphatic support: daily brushing and massaging (mainly my legs) to help boost that invisible flow. I’d start by brushing in slow upward strokes from my ankles to my hips and follow by gently massaging in our omega-rich and anti-inflammatory Enhancing Body Serum. This way my skin can release what it no longer needs, so that it can more efficiently hold on to what it does.The difference in appearance of my skin was noticeable after just a few days, so I will definitely be strict with myself and stick to this routine going forward.

With the heat rising and days spent running around after three kids, my feet are often left aching, hot, and in need of serious relief. I’ve been using an organic aloe vera gel this week and its cooling, anti-inflammatory properties provided an instant refresh. It dries quickly and isn't sticky, so you can reapply as you need to keep feet cool.

Tip: If you suffer from scalp irritation, apply the gel overnight and let it deeply soothe while you sleep, before washing your hair in the morning.

A few weeks ago, my eldest son began reacting quite severely to a tree at school, returning home each afternoon with eyes so sore and swollen he could barely see. Antihistamines and eye drops offered little relief, and we were at a loss — until a friend suggested trying a simple ice roller. I picked up an inexpensive one, kept it in the freezer, and gently rolled it over his eyes each evening. Remarkably, it was far more effective than any of the conventional remedies we’d tried.

Since then, I’ve adopted the ritual myself. Each morning, I use the ice roller as a kind of at-home cryotherapy, instantly soothing my tired eyes. So simple and far more sustainable than single-use eye masks.
