This Shrove Tuesday make your pancake work for your skin by adding the right fruits. Adding extras such as syrup, butter, whipped cream, sauces, powder sugar and fruit can all add to additional unnecessary calories. Fruit is the healthiest extra from this list. Using whole fruits are better than those covered in a sugary fruit syrup. To further reduce unwanted calories which not try a light syrup instead of the regular syrup. A low sugar or sugar-free jam can also help.
Antioxdant rich fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and plums contain. Antioxidants, particularly flavonoids neutralise free radicals cause damage to skin cells. Rich coloured natural foods contain antioxidants. Cherries, red grapes, oranges, lemons and limes count, too, however they contain fewerantioxidants.
Papaya can help firm and prevent sagging of your skin. It contains antioxidants, beta-carotene, vitamin C, flavonoids, folate, potassium, magnesium and fiber. Vitamin C is essential inthe production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides skin with structure,firmness and strength.
Fiber promotes a healthy digestive system which helps clear out toxins. It may also help prevent toxins from even reaching your skin by simply moving them through your intestines and ushering them out as waste. Naturally sweet fruits such as pears, dates, apples, blueberries and bananas, are full of fiber, and can fulfill that craving for processed sugar. Sugar encouranges inflammation, which can cause skin damage.
Avocado is good for dry skin. Avocados are high in monounsaturdated (“good”) fats.which are play a vital role in moisturising your skin and replace oils that ordinarily are washed away from your daily cleansing routine.
So now that you have improved your skin from the inside, compliment your diet by applying Environ’s vitamin rich creams such as the AVST range and C Boost. For more advice on how these can help you, please contact one of our expert therapists.

Environ Advanced Skin Analysis
Have you ever wondered how your skin compares to others of your own age or how you might look in a few years time, without some serious intervention? A high tech skin analysis technique by Environ is coming to Beauty Moments for a one day event that will reveal all that’s good and bad about your skin.
A skin analyst from anti-ageing skincare brand Environ is hosting the special event and will be on hand to provide free 45 minute consultations at Beauty Moments on 19th October ’10. She uses powerful Visia imaging technology to capture information and assess common problem areas, such as sun damage, brown pigmentation blemishes, capillary damage, wrinkles, scars or imperfections and congested pores. This equipment is so advanced that plastic surgeons and dermatologists use it worldwide.
She will be identifying goals for treatments and offering solutions to overcome niggling complexion concerns and take years off your appearance, without the need to go under the knife. The skin advisor recommends products for use at home, salon treatments as well as dietary and lifestyle advice, which are aimed at giving the individual clearer, more radiant, even toned, smoother and less lined skin.
The machine’s camera provides a series of images which reveal the extent of each problem and attributes a ‘score’. Clients pay a return visit to the salon after three months, when improvements are graded by comparing a new set of visuals with the originals.
“There are too many empty promises in the beauty world,” says Environ Founder Dr Des Fernandes. “By using this sophisticated system we can now prove to our clients that using active skincare products and following our advice makes a measurable and visible difference. We can even artificially ‘age’ your skin to show how you could look in five years without proper skincare.”
