It's difficult to accomplish dewy, hydrated, glowing skin in winter with the cold winter working against us; dry air, wind stripping your skin of moisture and artificial heat from your heater.

.

Cold feet especially make you feel miserable. It's a great idea to have warm water foot soaks once a week for healthy feet and crack free heels all year round. A regular foot soak makes it easy to keep hard skin under control. Mix a small amount of soap and Epsom salts for an anti-inflammatory effect on the bones of the feet and relaxation for the muscles. Warm feet equals a warm body. Always wear slippers around the house, this is a great way to care for your feet.

Staying active during winter months will help your body temperature, boost circulation, keep your pulse rate up and your glow intact. After exercise your brain releases the feel-good chemicals serotonin and dopamine which will help to reduce anxiety while boosting well-being and the glow in your skin.

Use a humidifier because during winter the air inside can be super dry especially while sleeping or anyone working from home. Adding a humidifier to your bedroom can put moisture back into the air, helping the skin's moisture and you'll wake up with glowing skin every morning. As always, all year round drink water because it will hydrate you from the inside out. If you are finding your skin particularly dry this season, a super moisturiser and oil serum with help nourish it more efficiently.

There’s hardly a Killarney home he hasn’t been to – but now DJ O’Driscoll has stood down from his duties.

Friday night marked delivery driver DJ’s retirement from the Killarney branch of Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets, a position he has held for the last 15 years.

On Friday night, colleagues from all three Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets stores gathered in the Killarney Height’s Hotel. DJ was also joined by his daughter and her partner for the special night.

“After almost 15 years of steadfast work with Corcoran’s, DJ has been a constant pillar of support for his colleagues and has helped the company go from strength to strength,” owner Kieran Corcoran said.

Members of Flesk Valley Rowing Club had a strenuous but successful morning on Sunday when they collectively rowed the distance from Malin Head to Mizen Head.

And it was all done indoors on rowing machines in support of the Killarney Order of Malta.

Just before 11am the Valley armada ‘left shore’, and approximately 40 members aged from 12 to 50ish set to their task with enthusiasm. By midday someone reckoned that Barack Obama’s Plaza had been reached but unfortunately there was no stop for tea, just a splash of holy water, a mouthful of Lucozade and a few jelly babies for the lucky ones!

As the kilometres clicked slowly by the temperature started to rise and the cry went up from the gasping veterans to open all the doors!

No such problems for the junior relay crews who had a fantastic morning rowing, laughing, and racing each other all the way to the finish.

The junior members who took on the half-marathon distance individually were amazing throughout and got stronger as the finish line came into view.

“We’re delighted with how the morning went,” Tadhg Kelly from Flesk Valley said.

“There was a great atmosphere in the venue, and we are grateful to all the parents and Flesk Valley supporters who came along to encourage our young and not-so-young rowers. It was great too to see the members of the Order of Malta in attendance to offer their support, and the club would like to thank everyone who donated on the day.”

Tadhg also expressed his thanks to the underage coaches and committee members for looking after everyone during the event. He especially wanted to mention everyone at Celtic Steps and the Killarney Racecourse for facilitating the club and Workmens Rowing Club and Glenflesk GAA for the use of their equipment.
