Healing Earth Transformative Wellness at Braham Hills

Healing Earth Transformative Wellness at Braham Hills is an African brand that offers a range of natural products to support your skin during the colder Midlands months when dehydration and dryness are common. 

 

Healing Earth’s newly launched ProGlow Cleansing Balm is a highly recommended cleanser enriched with shea butter, jojoba and sweet almond (which adds deeper nourishment) and neroli, ensuring clearer skin. Their Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Treatment Cream will assist in adding brightness and regeneration of your skin while the Healing Earth facial serums are a must for your winter nighttime routine. For your body, their Kalahari Melon family is highly recommended to keep your skin hydrated and nourished. 

 

This spa’s helpful tip for keeping your skin in the best condition this winter is regularly exfoliating your face and body to remove dead skin cells. It is recommended to exfoliate twice a week, followed by deeply hydrating and nourishing serums, oils and balms. Don’t forget to drink enough water during winter to ensure hydration from the inside out! If you want to go one step further and get pampered, Healing Earth offers tailor-made treatments to suit your skin’s needs to keep your skin nourished, hydrated and glowing.

Indigo Fields African Bush Spa

 

Nestled in the heart of the Midlands, Indigo Fields prides itself on its commitment to botanical excellence, straying from synthetic products. They believe in the power of nature to support healthy skin. 

 

Indigo Fields offers an assortment of skin-boosting products to stay beautifully hydrated. Their Botanical Gold Nectar Serum is a soothing moisturiser consisting of rosehip seed oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba, evening primrose, and vitamin E. Their essential oil blend of rosemary, rose geranium, neroli, and lavender assist in the reduction of pigmentation and dark circles as well as promote skin regeneration and repair. They also recommend using a cleansing milk or balm cleanser in winter, which won’t leave your skin feeling tight or too stripped of its natural oils, and advise against over-cleansing. 

 

Their winter skincare tip is to do monthly facials to remove dead skin cells, which you can treat yourself to at the idyllic Indigo Field Spa or at home by gently steaming your face – standing over a bowl of warm water with several drops of essential oils which will assist in the cleansing process. Lastly, remember to layer your skincare products – serums, face creams and, importantly, sunscreen. Their Indigo Fields Botanicals are exclusively available at their farm shop.

Brookdale Health Hydro 

As the leaves change colour and the crisp, misty mornings signal the change of seasons, we need to change our daily skincare routine. The cold wind and heated indoor environments can strip our skin of moisture causing dryness and irritation.  

 

To help nurture your skin this winter, Brookdale suggests regularly exfoliating your skin to remove dead skin cells and improve circulation. As tempting as it may be, be cautious of very hot showers and baths to avoid losing too much of the skin’s moisture. You can also more deeply moisturise your skin by adding a few drops of body oil to your daily body cream. The cold winter air means we need to apply a nourishing moisturiser before outdoor activities, and don’t forget that SPF!

 

During this time, keep your skin healthy and invigorated with some of Brookdale’s favourite products like the Guinot Hydra Summum serum, Clarins tonic hydrating oil balm and Esse repair oil. If you want to pamper and prepare your skin even more this winter, book some luxurious spa treatments. The Guinot Hydra Summum facial, with high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, will deeply hydrate and plump up your skin and minimise fine lines. Another option is the Moroccanoil Scalp and Body Experience, which includes a scalp massage with a hair mask, a neck and shoulder massage, and a full body exfoliation finished off with the Moroccanoil body lotion.

 

Bordered by farmlands, forests and streams, Brookdale Health Hydro is a dedicated wellness destination offering an escape from the stress of everyday life.
