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.

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.“
