We've basically been in hibernation mode all winter. And our skin, hair, nails and general attitude to life show it. So now it's time to slough off the winter layers and get back to being yourself – with just a little help from your friends.
An infrared sauna session with East Spaces
Start by taking yourself to East and sweating out all those 'I haven't eaten anything fresh for three months' toxins. Infrared technology makes this sauna seven times more effective than its traditional counterpart, so even half an hour will make all the difference. You'll feel lighter, sleep better and see an improvement in your skin in just one session.

You'll feel like a whole new person, long after the colour chips.
