TAKE 4 WITH KATE O’REILLY
1. BEAUTY BOOK: Expensive beauty regimes are first on the hit list for the cash-strapped consumer. Anti-Ageing Secrets, €19.95, a new book by Mahayana Isabelle Dugast, outlines a beauty regime that can be maintained even on a tight budget. It includes tips, recipes and exercises – many of which cost nothing – designed to create a more youthful, energised YOU.
2. NIGHT CREAM: Give your skin a natural break from pollution, poor nutrition and stress. Mahayana recommends using this home-made recipe at night: into 60g of Aqueous cream (available from any chemist) add: 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon avocado oil, 4 drops Frankincense essential oil, 4 drops of Geranium and 2 drops Geranium. Mix and keep in a glass jar. You will be pleasantly surprised at the efficiency of this simple treatment, she promises.
