Upgrade Your Skincare With No7 And IMAGE – Elizabeth Whelan

A?change in season is the best possible time to rethink your skincare routine. If?like us, you’ve been working too hard, stressing too much, compounding the above with too little sleep, and overcompensating with too much wine or a poor diet, it is time to make a change. Fortunately, the solution is closer than you think, thanks to No7. Catering not necessarily for the age you are, but the life stage you are at, No7 created three different regimes that are easy to follow, ensuring that whatever your skin needs, you’ll be able to identify the products that will make a real difference to your complexion. This means that ageing doesn’t have to be accompanied by dread. Once armed with the right skincare regime, you can embrace the process with confidence, positivity, and a whole new outlook.

ELIZABETH WHELAN / LIFE COACH, HEALTH COACH AND OWNER OF ZESTIVO

LIFESTYLE: When Elizabeth was 18, a bout of candida set her on a path to finding out about how to best nourish both body and mind. The mother-of-one spent much of her professional career in beauty therapy, training and working with several top beauty brands. Elizabeth believes that if you know your body well enough, you know what suits, and what doesn’t. It’s the same with your skin. If you’re suffering from IBS, you’re going to be irritated on the outside too. She believes it’s about finding the tools that will make you be the best you can be. ?There are three different kinds of ageing: chronological, biological and psychological. The first 18 seconds when you wake up is the best time to send positive messages to your body and your mind, so I tell myself every morning, I’m young, youthful and beautiful.?

SKIN CONCERNS: After years of experience in the beauty industry, Elizabeth’s expert training has paid off in terms of the condition of her skin and the care she has taken of her health in general. However, her biggest areas of concern are firmness and pigmentation.

No7 SYSTEM RECOMMENDED:?Restore & Renew Face & Neck Multi-Action.

RESULTS: ?I am really loving using these products. I studied the research and was very impressed with the ingredients and research [behind the products], so I had great expectations and a lot of anticipation. I’m glad to say I wasn’t disappointed. My skin feels firm, looks healthier and is exceptionally radiant. The daily ritual is becoming a pleasurable routine. I am a great believer in following the three Rs – Routine and Ritual to achieve great Results!?
