The saying ‘You are what you eat’ goes a long way. As well as the weight, the skin too indicates the state of your inner health, so if you have clear radiant skin the odds are that you’re a very healthy individual, but for someone who suffers from breakouts, acne , puffiness and dry skin it may indicate that the body is having some health problems .

When the skin begins to look dull, tired and fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear, the glow to the skin naturally disappears leaving both the face and skin looking old and exhausted. Eating certain foods can bring a major difference to help obtain a healthy, beautiful, more radiant looking skin.

This blog will help you eat your way to a healthier, beautiful, more radiant looking skin. By adding these 5 foods to your diet right away, you can help slow the ageing of your skin, fight wrinkles, and bring back that glowing skin.

1.       Green Leafy Vegetables

A rabbit diet is not only great to help lose weight but in fact contains vitamin A and Beta-carotene which will brighten up the complex of the skin whilst keeping it smooth and wrinkle free.  Kale, spinach and wheatgrass are just some examples of green vegetables that provide tons of vitamin A, this will help your skin look fresh, reduce dryness and keep your face looking bright and young.

2.       Citrus Fruit

These sour tasting fruits can offer a sweet finish to the skin. Rick in Vitamin C, Citrus fruit can help give a smooth and tight skin. Next time you shop anti-ageing crèmes notice that Vitamin C is a prime ingredient in many anti-ageing crèmes, simply because Vitamin C tightens and smoothes the skin. From the age of 35 to 40, collagen will start to break down the skin, leaving the skin very saggy, Vitamin C help rebuilds that collagen making the skin tighter and firmer.  Vitamin C can be found in all citrus foods from oranges, lemons, grapefruits even tomatoes.

3.       Berries

Berries keep your skin looking younger for longer and help fight ageing whist preventing wrinkles- particularly blueberries and blackberries.  Blueberries in fact are considered by many experts to be the highest source of anti-oxidants, which means that blueberries are very effective in targeting those free radicals that cause damage to the skin.

4.       Seeds and Nuts

Containing tons of Vitamin E, seeds and nuts will give you that young and soft skin. Flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and for nuts- almonds, walnuts and pistachios can all help bring a glow to the skin.

5.       Seafood

Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, seafood will leave your skin, looking smooth, clear and glowing whilst reducing dryness. In general we all know that fish or fish oils is good for our overall health, but in fact can also work wonders on the skin as well. Crabs, shrimps, salmon and tuna are all types of sea foods take can easily be added to any diet. 

10 Essential Hand Language Items

Planning a holiday can either be the most stressful thing in the world, or the most excited element of travelling-either way if your hand language is packed to perfection any journey however stressful will run as smoothly as the sandy beach of your chosen destination.

Although everyone has their own opinion as to what they think is important to pack in the ever so restricted hand language - there are certain things which without, any journey is incomplete and possibly troublesome. So here are some of the most common essential items carried by travelers - some obvious, some not!

It goes without saying that you should take your favourite sun protection with you! But what other items are essential on your holiday?

1.    Relevant Papers

As apparent as this may sound, it does and has happened. Under the stress of not trying to forget to pack something important the most obvious thing can easily be forgotten. Placing passports/ID/ Driving License in a visible place helps - Making sure it’s the last item packed will make it easily accessible.

2.    Tickets

No tickets, no travelling it’s as simple as that. Unless you’re Richard Branson, giving your private jets a break for the day, there’s no chance in the world of anyone getting on a plane without a boarding pass.

3.    Medicine

While this doesn't apply to everyone, for those who require medication, nothing is more important than an individual’s health - long hectic journeys can affect healthy people - be sure to have your medication on hand in case of an emergency.

4.    Converted Cash

Although the cost of exchanging money in the home country could be excessively high, it is recommended by experts to change at least enough to cover travel and transportation costs until you are settled at your destination - or even just in the case of an emergency.

5.    Mobile Phone & Adapter

Without a doubt, when travelling to a foreign country, taking a mobile phone is vital. Going abroad can be like a trip to another planet - that’s what makes it so exciting, but just as risky. The worst that can ever happen is if your phone dies! Be sure to pack an international phone adapter to help save time & effort from purchasing a new one.  

6.    Water

Lots and lots of it!! Travelling can be a tiring and an exhausting experience, so fuel up as much as you can. Don’t forget to stock up on liquids to prevent you from dehydration.

7.    Sunglasses

You set off from the disappointing dark weather in the UK, spend hours on board in a cool, dim (hopefully relaxing) atmosphere, come off the plane after having a quick nap and CRIKEY!! Exposed to overpowering extensive rays of light from what can only be called the sun - something we’re not exactly used to I guess. Where are those sunglasses? A ‘must-have’ for hot continental destinations.

8.    Puzzles/Magazines/Books

Entertainment can be restricted during a journey, so be prepared! Packing a magazine, puzzle book or even a reading book is guaranteed to keep you occupied if nothing else ‘tickles your fancy’. So bag up a back up!

9.    Refreshment Kit

Depending on the duration of the journey it may be worthwhile taking a small toiletries kit. Facial wash wipes, toothbrush, paste and moisturiser can transform an individual’s mood - if you look fresh; you’re bound to feel fresh!!

10.  Airline socks/sandals

Particularly on long haul flights, having packed a pair of airline sock or sandals can provide a relaxing break from an uncomfortable journey. Having been in your shoes for almost 3 hours or more - tired feet can do with some rest-so throw off them shoes and get cosy.

Most importantly have fun on your holiday - relax, and take your time in preparation for a well deserved break!

Five Family Fun Summer Activities

Schools Out! Happy Days!! Kids can stroll out of their beds in their own time, no rush and brawling over the toilet, breakfast can be served without hassle and the mornings will finally feel like heaven again. If only!!

Although summer seems like an early Christmas for the kids, parents are left to struggle with an extra 6 hours of nagging, tantrums and cries of boredom. Keeping the children entertained with fun family activities this summer can do wonders & many don’t cost a fortune.

1.    Kite Competition

Summer time is the best time (in fact the only time) when the kites are ready to come out. Have a ball and fly those kites. Encouraging the kids to make or personalize their own kites is not only a fun crafting task but allows the kids to put their overactive imagination to work. Add some fun by competing –who can fly their kite the highest?

2.    Pack a Picnic

A summer isn’t quite complete without a trip to the Park with a picnic hamper full of great summer snacks. We all know that the thrill of preparing for a holiday is far more exciting than the holiday itself, similarly packing for a picnic and deciding what foods to cram in a picnic basket is all part of the experience - so get the kids involved. Urge the children to help prepare their own sandwiches with the filling of their choice.

3.    Summer Sports

Get active. Summer is a great time to try out new outdoor sports (think about the post baby fat you can lose in the process) whilst spending a joyful time with the whole family. Light friendly sports such as basketball and football are the perfect activities to keep the kids occupied.

4.    Cool Chores

Sometimes children can get in the way of household chores. Getting the children to take part is a playful way to get the job done whilst keeping an eye on them. Car washes, gardening and baking are great chores to get the whole family involved in.

5.    Traditional Treats

Old is gold. Go all traditional this summer and bring out those games and toys that were equivalent to game consoles in our times. Search out the bats & balls, hulla hoops, frisbees , swing balls and skipping ropes - a fun way to train kids to appreciate the simple things in life.

PRESS RELEASE: Titanium Dioxide Sunscreens - A potential health risk and now more expensive

Enjoying the sun has become more expensive than ever as the cost of Titanium Dioxide– a popular UV blocker- heavily increases the prices of sunscreens by as much as 30%.

The Daily Mail* announced yesterday, the dramatic boost of the price of sunscreens is  due to take place in the upcoming weeks. An unfortunate rise in the cost of Titanium Dioxide,   a popular active ingredient used widely in sunscreens has now forced the prices of sun protection to increase unexpectedly.

Over the past years  it has been argued that sunscreens have always been expensive and now with production costs going up, many sunscreen brands look set to pass this cost increase on to the consumer -so it’s thought.

What many sunscreen users until recently were unaware of, was the threat of Titanium Dioxide potentially causing skin cancer– and now with the increase in prices of sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxide, it is time for consumers to opt in for a sunscreen that is Titanium Dioxide free– hence a better value sunscreen.

Unlike many other sunscreens the sun mousse® is specially formulated to help protect the skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays, without the use of Titanium Dioxide. Popular with major health and beauty retailer Boots, the sun mousse® has fast established itself in the sunscreen market after record breaking sales last year. Now with further concerns of the increased price of Titanium Dioxide and possibly being a significant threat to the skin– the sun mousse® is sure to remain the popular choice for the whole family!

With its distinctive formulation, the sun mousse®  is designed to provide protection that is:

· Non-sticky

· Suitable for all skin types

· Rapidly Absorbed

· Titanium Dioxide free!

the sun mousse® has been designed with your skin in mind.
 Have more fun in the sun – with the sun mousse®

A New Chapter for the sun mousse®

A New Chapter for the sun mousse®

Welcome to our new website!!

I’m sure for those who are great fans of the sun mousse® are questioning “why the new site?” The truth is we love to give our customers something more than just our products and of course, the fact that the old site may have started to look slightly dated- there we go, I said it.

Besides the two obvious explanations- great reasoning and careful planning has been undertaken to provide you - our customers- with the best from the sun mousse®.

Looking Beyond the Products

What do you look for when you visit a website? For years, company websites have been designed to sell products direct to the customer, so we asked ourselves- where’s the fun in that? Producing a website with quizzes for kid’s, health /beauty blogs, interesting facts and the chance to win free goodies, is far more pleasurable than one with the typical product transactions and company information- Wouldn’t you agree?

We at the sun mousse® adore interacting with our customers and in return wish to provide a great experience of the sun mousse® brand as opposed to a simple product- although by far a product with many benefits- she adds!!

“The website is less about the sun mousse®, but far more about the fun it enables the whole family to have.”

Linking Performance to Quality

Let’s face it - as soon as we get a new outfit we feel the need to complete the look with a new pair of shoes or a fresh haircut. It’s only normal to have the full package. Product branding is not far from similar - Due to the increased sales performance of the sun mousse® in the past years and the great quality of the product, it only makes sense to splash out - as anyone would do - and to transfer the quality of the product through a better and improved website.

Developing a sunscreen in a mousse formulation, we were able to represent the fun, in protecting the skin from the sun. Now we hope to continue to portray this image through our website, by educating kids through entertainment and sharing health/beauty tips for all.

Boring Information

More to the point the reasons for creating a new website was to help solve technical problems which we felt could affect online sales of the sun mousse®. Resolving issues such as:

·         Layout supporting desktop, tablet and mobile.

·         Navigation across the site.

Let the Fun Begin!!

It takes two to have fun, which is why your participation is vital. Let us know what you think of the new website. Feedback is really important in any relationship and  our customers are important to us. Now it is live we welcome your suggestions, good or bad! It will help us inform the decisions we make about how best to fine-tune the new-look.
