Cool Stool -Your daily ‘good gut’ gift

Bloating, stomach cramps, gas, diarrhoea, constipation… I have suffered from chronic IBS for years. I also have an autoimmune disease that can cause gut issues. Chronic stress and a diet lacking in fibre also doesn’t help. I’ve taken the first step in my good gut health journey by adding Cool Stool to my diet.

Cool Stool™ is a 100% raw, high fibre and super seed mix and daily supplement, designed to promote natural bowel movement while optimising gut health.

Cool Stool is a fresh and much needed addition to health and wellness aisles, bridging the gap between harsh laxatives and soluble and other (often unpalatable) fibre supplements. This delicious, 100% raw, high-fibre, and super seed mix is a nutritionally diverse daily supplement that enhances natural bowel movements and improves gut health. It is scientifically formulated and tested, perfect for those dealing with digestive challenges as well as those wanting to optimise their general wellbeing. Cool Stool™ begins improving digestive health within days while adding a delicious nutty crunch to your meals, oats or smoothies.

Cool Stool has great tips to start your gut health journey:

Increase Fibre Intake – Find the right balance of super seeds and nuts, and incorporate a diverse range of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes into your diet. This can make a big difference in improving gut health.

Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support digestion and prevent constipation. Proper hydration helps maintain the mucosal lining of the intestines, which is crucial for a healthy gut barrier.

Manage Stress – Chronic stress can negatively impact gut health. Find ways to manage stress, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or spending time in nature.

Daily Exercise – Exercise can help maintain a healthy gut in several ways. Firstly, it promotes gut motility, which means it helps move food through the digestive tract more efficiently, reducing the risk of constipation and other digestive issues. Secondly, regular exercise has been linked to a more diverse and balanced gut microbiota, which is crucial for overall gut health. Lastly, exercise can help reduce inflammation in the gut, leading to a healthier and more resilient digestive system. We recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise each day.

Get Adequate Sleep – Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Sleep deprivation can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria and impair digestion. Establishing a regular sleep schedule and creating a relaxing bedtime routine can help improve sleep quality.

Why do I love Cool Stool? It tastes delicious, it’s super easy to add to your diet, and it’s effective. It’s as simple as that.

Here’s to good gut health!

SKIN functional released their new body range a couple of months ago, and it’s simply perfect. Now we can experience the SKIN functional difference, all over. Introducing the new SKIN functional Body Range…

SKIN functional Body Range

Expertly formulated to exfoliate dead skin cells with a daily salicylic acid Body Wash while moisturising with their Body Lotion for smooth and supple skin. Included in the set is the Non-Abrasive Body Scrub for extra exfoliation with removal of rough texture and for better absorption of the Body Lotion.

The SKIN functional range is perfection. Not only does it make your skin feel pampered, but it’s extremely effective in treating common skin concerns.

I have a teenager in the house, and hormonal acne has reared its ugly head… particularly, bacne. My poor kid has spots all over her back and it’s not nice at all. I struggled with is as a teenager as well. SKIN functional has come to the rescue though. Since she started using the range, the spots are starting to disappear. She has to use it consistently though.

She also struggles with keratosis pilaris on her upper arms. Keratosis pilaris causes dry, rough patches and tiny bumps on the skin, often on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks or buttocks. Once again, this body range has proven to be very effective. Well done SKIN functional.

My girl has very (very!) sensitive skin and this winter is just the worst. She says that the products feel good, but it does cause a tiny bit of tingling when applied. It does disappear quickly, and a bit of tingling won’t stop her from using it. This is her first time using products that contain salicylic acid and it’s something she’ll get used to quickly.

Why is salicylic acid the star ingredient in the SKIN functional Body Range:

Salicylic acid exfoliates the outer Stratum Corneum, (the top layer of the skin), encouraging new cell production which brightens overall complexion. Salicylic Acid decongests blocked pores by dissolving the type of skin debris that clogs pores and causes breakouts.

I don’t experience any tingling at all. And when I do, I love it… it’s proof that the product does its job. I’ve also used all three products in the range, and I am hooked. I mean, who doesn’t want soft, smooth, glowing skin?

BHA Body Treatment Body Wash

The Body Wash foams beautifully and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. I love that my skin doesn’t feel stripped after using it.

BHA Body Treatment Body Scrub

The Body Scrub is an absolute treat! Its jelly-like consistency makes it a pleasure to use, and because it’s not abrasive at all, it works very well on sensitive skin. You almost feel surprised that the result is super smooth skin after using something that didn’t feel like it did much. It does a lot! 10 out of 10. This beauty will help with acne, keratosis pilaris, razor rash and ingrown hairs.

BHA Body Treatment Body Lotion

The Body Lotion is very light, but still moisturising. My skin is extremely dry right now though, so I apply an oil or balm afterwards where my skin needs a little extra. I’m sure this lotion will be perfect during the summer months.

There you have it… the perfect body trio by SKIN functional. Pop over here to shop this highly effective and affordable range.

Thank you for this great introduction to your brand, SKIN functional. To say I’m impressed, is an understatement. I can’t wait to try more of your products and see what you bring us next.
