NICOLA QUINN BEAUTY & DAY SPA With so many skincare products available, it can be downright confusing to know what your skin really needs. So in an effort to help you navigate the confusing world of skincare marketing jargon, we will attempt to clear the confusion on a few must-have ingredients over the coming issues here in Metropol. Let’s start with Hemp Seed Oil. Often referred to as Liquid Gold, it is made from the seeds of the Hemp Plant (which does not contain any cannabinoids). Hemp Seed Oil is every skin’s essential oil, rich in Omega Fatty Acids they improve skin structure by helping the skin retain moisture. In addition to moisturising and soothing the skin, it works wonders on a variety of skin concerns, from ageing, sensitivity and acne. This multitasking ingredient leaves the skin plumped, hydrated and rebalanced. Learn more about this wonder ingredient... www.quinnbeautyspa.co.nz/the-new-favourite-skin-saviour/

SOUL STUDIO HOT YOGA Practising yoga in a hot studio has many physical and mental health benefits. Physical benefits include an increased heart rate while practising. The cardio workout in the heat can improve circulation to bring nutrient rich blood to skin cells. A hot room also warms the muscles faster which helps increase flexibility. Stretching warm muscles is a lot safer than cold muscles, so a hot studio makes achieving deeper postures and stretches easier and more effective. Soul Studio specialises in hot yoga, with its beautiful, spacious studio ranging from 30-40 deg C. The timetable offers a range of classes from slower pace, restorative yin to powerful, energetic flows, offering something for everyone, from absolute beginners to advanced yogis. 03 335 0208 | www.soulstudio.co.nz 25 Mandeville Street, Riccarton Metropol 17 February, 2022 35
