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.

The development has been welcomed by local councillor Martin Grady.

“Killarney has a massive housing shortage so this is very positive. It will retain young families in the area, stimulating economic growth,” he said. “After 17 years of different planning applications it’s finally coming to fruition.”

Residents in the Ballydribeen are living in fear as a result of increased anti-social behaviour in the estate.

Several serious incidents in the estate have resulted in several Garda visits in the last week.

Local councillor Martin Grady told the Killarney Advertiser that residents are “living in fear” as a result of very serious incidents in the last week alone.

One house in the estate was badly damaged when fire crackers were placed inside a letter box.

Another house had its windows smashed in over the weekend.

“It’s a major problem,” added Grady after meeting residents there earlier this week.

One of the most serious incidents occurred on Tuesday night.

A passing motorists had rocks thrown at his car while driving along the bypass whch is adjacent to the estate.
Taking to social media, local primary-school teacher Pádraig O’Sullivan posted:

“Travelling home tonight, at 11.05pm on the Killarney side of the bypass our car was hit by a rock – not a pebble – from the Ballydribben side , which hit the passenger door.

“It was centimetres away from hitting the window where my father, who is visually impaired, was sitting.

“This could have caused catastrophic permanent injury to him.

“The Killarney Garda were on the scene within three minutes.

“They can’t be patrolling the bypass all night.

“It comes down to parenting. You should know where your children are at this hour and be able to teach them what’s funny and what ruin a person’s life or cause a fatal crash.“
