THE festive season can take its toll on everything from skin to hair.

Here at The Bolton News we have come up with some great post-Christmas treats to help you face 2009 with clearer skin and hair to die for.

Parties may well have taken their toll but you can look a million dollars and it does not have to cost the earth.

* An Elemis tri-enzyme resurfacing facial is clinically proven, after just one treatment, to give you up to 75 per cent skin resurfacing and up to 32 per cent increased skin smoothness.

It will help with acne and superficial facial scarring, fine lines and wrinkles — stress, nutrition, alcohol and smoking all take their toll on our skin — and uneven pigmentation.

The treatment is relaxing and rejuvenating. It is recommended you have a course of three for the full benefits but you can get visible results from just one facial.

It costs £70 (or £35 for a taster mini facial) — but what price younger looking skin? Try the facial at Saks in Churchgate, Bolton.

* So you have gone mad at the Christmas and New Year parties and your skin is paying the price for all the late nights!

Why not try the Elemis skin detox collection which is set to target all those problems you are likely to encounter as you try to get your skin back in shape?

For £55 you get the cellular recovery skin bliss capsules, herbal lavender repair mask, papaya enzyme peel and sensitive cleansing wash and it represents a saving of £54.

It is available from the Elemis e-beauty shop at www.timetospa.co.uk and selected salons and stores.

* So you have over-indulged over Christmas (who doesn’t?) and you want to look instantly slimmer without a trip to the gym — well Trinny and Susannah Original Magic Knickers are just the thing.

The fashion styling pair have developed knickers to hide lumps and bumps and they really do work.

* And now to address your bad hair day. There is no such thing when you have a Hot Hair clip-on hairpiece. Just tie your hair up and clip in the ponytail (we love this one, it’s called the “posh” and costs £35) for instant bouncy hair that will be sure to garner compliments from everyone you meet. Hairpieces cost from £15 to £59.
