It's important to have healthy gut health to prevent bloating and inflammation, both of which can make your skin look dull, ageing, dehydrated and tired.

The gut is full of bacteria and makes up our microbiome. Having a non-toxic skincare regime and a healthy gut is important for glowing skin. The Sothys brand is derived from marine life and plant based which are all non-toxic.

Our gut is filled with billions of bacteria which play a huge role in our skin and the overall state of our health. In order to keep our gut flourishing with health, we need to feed it with prebiotic rich foods. Porridge is an ideal way as it's filled with prebiotic benefits your skin and gut craves. Porridge contains beta fibre which is associated with flourishing gut bacteria. Oats also offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which help protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals.

As the age old saying goes "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", and you can add bad gut health away also. Apples are full of fibre and pectin which have numerous prebiotic benefits. Pectin has been found to aid gut flora and reduce the growth of bad bacteria.

Flaxseed is another super food. It can be added to stews, pasta dishes, breakfast cereals and much more. Flaxseed is an incredible source of prebiotics. It contains 3 grams of fibre, which helps to promote healthy gut bacteria and regulate digestion. It's also full of omega-3 fatty acids which is linked to reducing acne and signs of premature ageing. Try these three foods everyday and watch the transformation of your mood, gut health, and bloating disappear, and your skin glow. Call to the salon for skincare advise or call Jill on 064 6632966.

School Dayz

Transition Year students at Killarney Community College spent last Tuesday learning the skills to become baristas.

They completed a full-day training course and are now qualified to make coffee, which could make them very employable in local cafes and restaurants this summer.
Their teachers, who are described as the school’s “resident coffee experts,” were impressed with the students’ hard work and enjoyed the lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos the students made throughout the day.
In addition to their barista training, the TY students also took a trip to Mallow. There, they learned about the rules of the road, practiced the driver theory test, and many got behind the wheel of a car for the first time. They also learned about the dangers of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
