Spa Manager Michelle O'Connor's Top Tip for August:
The Simple Body Brush!
For years, the benefits of body brushing have been known, but I still don't think enough ladies are using them. Is enough known about their benefits? Body brushing alone, can prevent and improve the appearance of unsightly cellulite on our bodies. The brushing action stimulates the skins natural elimination system (lymphatic) helping the body to flush out those unwanted toxins that are the main cause of orange peel skin. 2 - 3 minutes daily can make all the difference when it comes to bikini time!!!
