Louise Redknapp gets Cosmetic Acupuncture on Channel 4's How Not to Get Old

Channel 4's series How Not to Get Old explores all the options available for anti-aging.  Facial Acupuncture was featured as a natural and budget option.  Louise Redknapp received the painless treatment and said she felt so relaxed after the treatment.  The next day when she dropped the kids to school said all the mothers were commenting about how great her skin looks! A great result after one treatment, but to get the best results, a course of 10 is recommended.  To see the series, you can watch it here on 4oD 



Cosmetic Acupuncture is available at Elmes Acupuncture.  We also offer a bespoke and relaxing Acupuncture Facial, using YouOrganic Natural Skincare and facial rejuvenation massage.

DIY Natural Body Scrub Tutorial


This incredibly simple body scrub is so easy to make in just 3 steps and is the most effective scrub I 've every used!

Tip: Rub the scrub thoroughly onto dry skin and then rinse off in the shower.

You will need:

Brown Sugar
White Sugar
Sweet Almond Oil
Orange Essential Oil (or the essential oil of your choice)


Step 1. Put 1 x cup of Brown Sugar and 1 x cup of White Sugar into a bowl


Step 2. Add enough Sweet Almond Oil until it starts to look like a paste


Step 3. Add 10 drops of Orange Essential Oil, or other oils like Lavender, Rosemary, Geranium, whichever is your favorite! 



Make sure you use pure essential oils, you can find these in you local health shop.  Don't use fragrance oils as these will irritate your skin and don't squeeze fresh juice into your mixture as this will make your scrub go rancid very quickly.  
Put the scrub in a nice jar and give it as a gift!
