Q: In winter my lips are chapped and crack, can you suggest a cheap moisturiser for them?

A. A cheap moisturising agent for the lips is Vaseline, which offers protection from the elements when outdoors. Although I would recommend you use a natural alternative at night to treat the condition. Mix a teaspoon of clear honey with one drop of rose water and apply to the lips before bed.

Q: After years of tweezing my eyebrows they are now very scarce and look untidy, how can I achieve neat looking brows?

A. Avoid over plucking the eyebrows, only take stray hairs from below the brow line as a rule or get them done professionally. Purchase an eyebrow pencil the same shade as your hair making sure the pencil is hard, test on the back of your hand. Groom your brows with an eyebrow brush or toothbrush in an upward and outwardly direction.

Q: I'm considering starting a yoga class, can you tell me the benefits of this type of exercise?

A. Yoga is increasing in popularity for the benefits to the body and mind. As well as strengthening the muscles and ligaments it increases the circulation and improves flexibility and posture. Relaxation and inner calm is achieved through yoga, therefore it is an excellent stress buster.

Q: My skin looks dull and lifeless, can I use salt as a body scrub?

Yes salt provides an excellent exfoliation for the body (not the face) to remove dead skin cells and when performed regularly will improve the circulation giving vitality back to the skin. Use sea salt for its mineral content and mix equal parts with olive or sweet almond oil. Apply to the skin in circular movements paying particular attention to your knees, feet and elbows or any dry patches. Buff off excess salt with a dry towel. Your skin will feel instantly smooth and moisturised.
