Spring is the perfect time to experiment with different styles and trends, so why not reveal your inner goddess and dazzle throughout the warmer months? Here’s how to look fabulous this season in five simple steps.

Take care of your skin

If your skin is looking a little dry after a long, cold winter, don’t forget to exfoliate on a weekly basis. Simply rub an exfoliating cream over your body and wash off with lukewarm water, before massaging in a quality cream. This simple process will remove dead skin cells and should increase your circulation – leaving you with a beautiful glow. If you’re suffering from acne, rosacea, sun-damage, fine lines and wrinkles, broken capillaries, age spots or blemishes you could even book a course of IPL laser (skin rejuvenation). This non-surgical treatment uses Intense Pulsed Light technology and stimulates the body to repair damaged tissue.

Exercise and eat well

One of the best ways to look beautiful throughout 2012 is to exercise. A good workout releases happy hormones known as endorphins and these can lift your mood dramatically. Hitting the treadmill or going for a run will also help you to tone up – so stop making excuses. Combine regular gym sessions with a healthy eating plan and you should soon feel on top of the world. Avoid calorie-laden food (as these release energy too quickly) and instead opt for foods low on the glycaemic table to balance out your energy levels.

Dress to impress

If you’ve still got the winter blues, head to the high street and spruce up your wardrobe. Bright colours are in this season, so grab yourself a neon top or a pair of bright red jeans. Vibrant shades can cheer you up and can make you feel fabulous on a warm spring day. If you’ve got money to spare, buy a pair of funky leggings and invest in a new pair of floral heels! You’ll be bang on trend and will look fabulous throughout the warmer season. Designer replicas are available in most shops and come in a range of sizes – so you won’t have to book liposuction to look like a model.

Wear accessories

The right accessories can really bring an outfit to life, so get your hands on some new bling. If you’re short of cash, opt for cheap and cheerful designs that you enjoy throughout spring (and summer). Floral earrings are in at the moment as are layered necklaces and bold bangles. Fair trade and tribal jewels also looks great in the sunshine – so get shopping. Keep your eye out for a straw handbag or go for a denim clutch instead – perfect!

Choose the right makeup

Bright red lips and peachy cheeks are in this spring, so head down to your local beauty store and restock your makeup bag. Go for bright, bold colours and feel confident wherever you go. If you’re looking for something a little natural, smooth the contours of your skin with a decent foundation and give your look a kick with a bright lip gloss. Blue and green eye shadows are popular at the moment, but you can always stick to creams and browns if you want to look more casual – the choice is yours.
