    Weekend breaks are perfect for anyone looking to relax, experience something a little different and to just get away. Sometimes when we travel, our skin can suffer from changes within climates. Alexandra has created 50ml bottles that are light and easily can go in your hand luggage. As with all our products they are hand blended from natural, essential ingrediants. If you have any questions about which combination of travel-sized products is best for your skincare routine, and how to use them please do contact us on support@alexandrasoveral.com or call +44 (0)207 266 3577

  2. Immune System

    Posted on

    We all know that the immune system is responsible for destroying pathogens that invade our bodies but what we sometimes forget is that the immune system also has the job to destroy our own cells when they become cancerous and attack healthy cells.  Maintaining a healthy immune system is imperative to good health and in the prevention of cancer. 

    Fortunately, at the moment there’s a lot in the media about the link between a healthy gut leading to a healthy immune system.  The healthy food revolution we are witnessing today is doing a very good job of informing us of it and I’m constantly reading new scientific articles proving that fact. 

    I would however like to remind you of another very important fact that the new fast paced world we live in today has forgotten. I’m referring to the last stage of the immune system’s response to infection.

    When we are sick our immune system is on high alert, producing millions of various kinds of fighter cells to recognise, engulf and destroy the invaders. When the number of invaders are at a number that no longer puts the body into danger the Suppressor T-Cell will come into action sending messages to the immune system to rest. 

    If the immune system is activated for longer periods of time than is necessary and this happens repeatedly it may damage healthy cells.  

    We must therefore learn to rest when we are sick to allow our immune system to also rest when the Suppressor T-Cells send the message out.  Suppressing our symptoms when we have a cold so that we may carry on normally is not helping our immune system.  Instead we should be looking for ways to support it by eating well, drinking lots of fluids to aid the lymph to flush out toxins and most of all to rest.  Allow our bodies to do the work... they know exactly what they are doing!

  3. Marble Facial Stones | In The Making

    Posted on

    The new Soveral Marble Facial Stones have been created to as the most effective way to lift, detoxify and tone facial tissue. The stones are used to enhance our daily massage routine or use when skin is in need of additional detoxification and relaxation. The natural cool temperature of the marble stones is beneficial to decongest and reduce puffiness in the face.

    Each set of Marble Facial Stones comes with a set of instructions to guide your daily lifting and firming routine to give your skin a healthy natural glow and firmer feel.

    Marble quartz is a precious form of mineral naturally found in the mountains of Portugal. The marble for these stones has been salvaged from material that would otherwise have been sent to waste and hand selected for the rich thread of quartz.

    Each set has been designed to be used for their healing properties and to work with the contours of the face. Stones are created at Alexandra’s bothers workshop in Portugal where they are hand crafted and hand polished this wonder of nature to recycle this highly respected natural material.
