November is a month of Stress Awareness in Britain and doctors have seen more symptoms of stress – including sleep and digestion issues, in recent months.Follow the Winter Skincare Rules above. Wrap up warm and watch for that tight skin feeling that signals low levels of hydration when outdoors. Strengthen your immunity – lemon and echinacea work wonders for me – and look after your work/life balance and emotional well-being. And try to sleep as much as you can!
