• Drop a 🤍 if you're finding your skin is extra dry this week. The change of seasons can play havoc with our skin, do you agree? It is even more challenging with neglected areas like elbows which get extra dry. 🤍 The skin on our elbows grows thicker over the years than on the rest of our arms and is prone to dryness, scaliness and can become inflamed and sore. 💪🏻 With age, the skin on our elbows can also begin to sag, often on joints where the skin is moving more, and the elastin and collagen fibres loose some of their flex over the years. 🤍 So how to treat dry skin on our elbows? Start by trying a gentle scrub on the arms and focusing on the elbows will help remove dead skin cells and smooth the skin. 💪🏻Applying a moisturiser daily specifically meant for elbows will also be a huge help. Often when we are applying a body cream, we skip the elbows, so focusing on this area when applying is essential. I’ve got more tips on neglected areas over on the blog via link in bio. #abigailjames #loveyourskin #skinexpert #abigailjames #skincaretips #askabigail #skinfluencer #celebrityfacialist #skincareexpert #dryskin #dryskincare #dryskinrelief

  • Drop your favourite yoga teacher in comments 🙏🏻 👩🏻‍🏫 Welcome to Skin School! This week's lesson is about the beauty benefit of exercise. Sometimes we all need some motivation to get moving, so let’s go through why you should squeeze in some exercise this week, not just to benefit your booty but to benefit your skin and wellness. Exercise is hugely beneficial to our skin. It massively increases blood flow and brings a fresh supply of nutrients to the skin. We breathe more deeply, take in more oxygen, generate happy hormones and also sweat toxins out through the skin. Yes, exercise actually makes you happier! Leading a sedentary lifestyle causes premature ageing, so try to find something that you enjoy that fits easily into your daily routine. If running hurts your knees, or you live too far from your nearest swimming pool, there are plenty of physical activities that you can still try (even if you can’t join a class or club right now because of the pandemic). Have you considered thai chi? Or even a long stroll? Online workouts are absolutely key right now if you need the motivation and you can find anything from HIIT workouts to gentle yoga routines. Plus they’re perfect to sneak in while the kids are napping or around your at-home working schedule! Maybe you’re fortunate enough to live somewhere with a coastline or plenty of outdoor space for something outside of your comfort zone, surfing, riding or climbing! So if you’re ready to unroll your mat, you can take a look at my quick and energising yoga tips on the blog.

  • 🙏🏻 Happy Monday team, today is all about the power of touch with face massages. 🤲 All natural face-lifting methods have one thing in common: they rely on specific, repetitive movements to stimulate blood flow, remove toxins and release tension. 🙏🏻 Improved muscle tone supports the skin better, lifting and softening your facial contours, smoothing lines and wrinkles and boosting the overall health of your skin. Not to mention calming the mind. 🎥 I have super quick Reels on how to get started or head to my YouTube channel via link in bio for a 7 minute introduction video that will change your life forever! #AbigailsMassageMonday #AbigailJamesMassage #facemassage #faceyoga #facelifting #loveyourskin

  • ⏰ Did you enjoy your extra hours sleep with the clocks going back? To be honest, I'm not sure I even noticed the extra hour of sleep with my current crazy sleeping patterns! 💤 It’s no surprise that we call it ‘beauty sleep’, after all it’s the time our bodies can perform their essential functions. Optimum health tells us that we should be getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night however how much do you really get? 😊 And it’s been proven that we can all need different amounts. Missing even a few hours of your optimum sleep can have a visible impact on your skin giving you dark circles and a dull complexion, make lines appear more visible, slow cell turnover and give you a cranky mood. So what can you do to create the perfect haven for sleep? I’ve put together a few of my tips: * Create a bedtime routine – I try to meditate or practice a bit of Yin Yoga before bedtime so that I can start switching off my mind. Yes, I try to do this every night, but life sometimes life gets in the way! * Screens are a no go – we all know the blue light emitted from our mobile phones can mess with the signals in the brain telling us when it’s time to sleep so I try to keep my phone out of the bedroom. * Use aromatherapy oils – certain scents can create a calming feeling in the body. I love lavender for this! Try @nealsyardremedies to find what works for you. * Wear an eye mask – this is something I’ve been doing for years and it’s become a habit now. * Drink chamomile tea – often nicknamed the ‘sleep tea’, chamomile contains no caffeine so it won’t keep you up before bed. * Take a sleep supplement – sometimes, even if you’ve created the perfect atmosphere for sleep, you can need a little extra something to help you drift off. I love Asphalia, a plant-based substance that promotes restful sleep. You can also find some great options that might work for you at @lifearmournutrition Sleep mask @holisticsilk lounge wear @eberjey Do you have any top sleep tips? I’d love to hear your suggestions too. #skintipsunday #abigailsskintip #sleeper #beautysleep #slumber #sleep #sleeping #wellbeing #beautysleep #weekendwellness #sundayvibes #clockschange
