Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, food writer and author Tess Ward has joined the AVEENO Skin Wellness panel to talk about the importance of probiotics, prebiotics and gut health in the wellness journey. A firm believer that wellness comes from the inside out, Tess is a champion of healthy, fuss-free cooking that doesn’t compromise on flavour, encouraging good gut health as an important part of overall health and wellbeing. Below she shares her health habits with us…
My non-negotiable health habit
“Pooing daily. If I don’t go at least once, I know it’s not good!”
My de-stress tool
“Chocolate of course, however often I feel more amped up after it!.”
My evening routine
“I love an evening bath in winter with magnesium salts and bath oil. In the bath I do a full body scrub and after I use the AVEENO Daily Moisturising Yoghurt Body Wash. It’s formulated with prebiotic colloidal oatmeal and nutrient-rich yoghurt concentrate that provides an enriching experience that is as good for your skin as it is for your senses. It’s my must-have winter skin protector. ”
My desert island beauty product
“My mums homemade deodorant”
My biggest health extravagance
“IPL laser facials… I go see Dr Benji Dillon for these”
My workout of choice
“I’ve been really enjoying trampolining (or rebounding, as it’s called)”
My biggest life lesson
“Don’t date narcissists “
What does skin wellness mean to you?
“Looking fresh, bouncy and feeling confident in my own skin. When I’m well-rested and my skin is taken care of, it’s the best feeling.“
