“I will not go a day without coconut oil”
WE SAY
Holland & Barrett’s Nutritionist Kate Butler said one of the reasons coconut oil is so popular was its multi-functional benefits when used on the skin, hair or eaten. “The small molecular structure of coconut oil allows for easy absorption through the skin, giving it a soft, smooth texture” said Kate. “This makes it an ideal ointment for the relief of dry, rough skin, and an effective after-sun lotion because it literally melts into your skin. Coconut oil works wonderfully as a hair conditioner too as Miranda Kerr’s diet shows can be eaten on salads or used as a cooking oil” Holland & Barrett – Pure Coconut Oil is priced at £12.59 for 453g.
SHE SAYS
‘Now being a mother I don’t have as much time to spend on my skin. I like to wear rosehip oil at night. It’s full of that many antioxidants and it really works on a cellular level too to rejuvenate the skin. I put that on at night and I wake up glowing.’

SHE SAYS
“I drink warm water and lemon every morning and I also drink lots of good quality purified and preferably alkaline water throughout the day.”
WE SAY
Water is essential for life. It accounts for about 60% of our body weight and performs crucial roles such as carrying nutrients and waste products between our major organs, helping regulate body temperature, lubricating our moving parts, and acting as a shock absorber. Independent consultant to the Natural Hydration Council – Dr Emma Derbyshire PhD, RNutr. Nutrition Consultant explains “Quench your thirst with water first before going on to enjoy other beverages such as tea, coffee, squash and fruit juices. If in doubt, the Food Standards Agency provides a useful guide of 6 to 8 glasses of water a day for the average person.”
