There are hundreds of gentle cleanses on the market, but the one I trust the most is from the Organic Pharmacy (www. theorganicpharmacy.com). The best combination is their Liver and Kidney tincture (£10.95), used with the Detox capsules (£26.95 for 60), a gentle formulation of herbs, clays and greens that will cleanse and soothe the gut. If you were feeling self-indulgent you could also treat your bottom to some of their zingy Detox Cellulite Body Oil (£26). Rein in the booze and stay off the foie gras for a couple of weeks while taking this lot, and you’ll soon be feeling human again.
For readers wanting swifter results – and with a strong stomach – there is something much less user-friendly but, by all accounts unfailingly effective. This doesn’t come to me via a press release, but has been recommended by friends and colleagues, all of whom report almost miraculous results. It’s mud. Mud from the lowland moors in Austria and Hungary, which are the only medicinal moors known to be of genuine therapeutic worth (one of the reasons I came across this stuff was because I was trying to find out more about “the healing waters of Hungary”, which I mentioned last week in connection with a lovely new range of face creams called Omorovicza). In Britain you can buy it from a company called Moor Spa (0845 1306768; www.moorspa.co.uk). All their products contain this moor water, which consists of over 1,000 herbs, plants, grasses and flowers (plus, no doubt, a few dead Huns), stewed for the past 20,000 years into an extremely lively organic broth.
Their most hardcore product, and the one most heartily recommended, is the optimistically named Bouquet (£19.95). This is a pitch-black liquid simply composed of moorland peat and peat water. It’s supposed to be odourless, but in all honesty it smells like raw sewage – although this does fade completely if you let it air before you drink it. Yes, that’s right, you have to drink it – two spoonfuls a day (have a dollop of honey or some extremely dark truffle on hand as a chaser). The unpleasantness is, however, far outweighed by the benefits. Within a couple of days you will notice a very satisfying clearing of the bowels, a general feeling of well-being and improved energy, but, most importantly, a ravishingly radiant skin. Spots go, skin brightens, the whites of your eyes are as clear and pure as a toddler’s. If you can’t face the drink (I couldn’t), they do capsules (£24.20 for 30), which is once again the moor, only freeze-dried to retain all the key properties and with added collagen. They also have a Hydrating Herbal Bath (£10.95) which is fantastic for aches and pains – although you mustn’t do it before going out for dinner or in the morning, as it makes you want to go to sleep immediately. You wake up feeling great, though. Ah yes, there’s definitely something in them there waters…"

Bored on your lunch break? We suggest you get yourself down to Yates’s in Leicester and book yourself in for a moor spa facial. Choose from the mini (30 minutes) or the luxury (an hour) and be prepared for a relaxing and rejuvenating treatment. Perfect if you’ve got time to spare between meetings or if you fancy a break on shopping sprees, the facials leave your skin feeling vitalised without any redness or blotches allowing you to continue your day without having to hurry on home to reapply masses of makeup although I still suggest taking mascara there’s nothing worse then small eye syndrome!
The only salon to stock the Moor Spa range in Leicestershire, the products secret ingredient is the moor water taken from the top layer of the therapeutic moors of Europe – plus the lotions and potions are busting with vitamins and minerals and because they’re water based, they don’t feel heavy on your skin, you can purchase any of the products used in your facial and prices are reasonable starting at £11.95 although we recommend taking home one of the Moor Spa Boosters. Coming in at a slightly higher price of £24.50 they’re extra treatments in themselves – try the soothing eye gel or repair moisturiser.
A 30 minute facial costs £18 and the 60 minute facial costs £30

Participants are treated to a goo-filled day, where they can paint themselves with the famous mud.
And other types of mud from around the world – sadly not the ones you can dig up in your back garden or on festival fields – are often used in beauty products such as Dead Sea mud, rhassoul mud from Africa and Moor mud from Austria and Hungary.
The Science Bit
Natural mud is rich in minerals – magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium to name a few. All these are essential to skin metabolism, especially as we get older, when mineral levels in the body fall.
The body dose not produce minerals on its own – it needs outside sources other then water and nourishment.
Mud has a high cleansing ability. It gets rid of fats and dirt, discards deadskin cells and exposes a fresh skin layer while soothing and moisturising.
Combined these effects make skin smoother, more flexible, and give it a clean, fresh and silky appearance.
A lot of mud types have antiseptic and oil controlling properties, making them perfect to use on people who suffer from frequent spotty break-outs or those with oily skin.
Moor Spa’s Refining Facial Mask, is made of pure herbal dark mud containing extracts from herbs, grasses and minerals to nourish the skin.It can be used on all skin types, ideally twice or three times a week.

Get your skin ready for summer with a professional treatment from Moor Spa. The 35 minute treatment began with a Boosting Cleansing Mask to detoxify grimy city pores, before an exfoliating cream was applied, which left my face super-clean.
The highlight was an indulgent massage with rejuvenating oils and moisturisers, followed by the signature Moor Refing Mask a sweet-smelling mudpack that tightended and brightened.

For the ultimate detoxifying and moisturising treatment, there is nothing quite like the Moor Body Wrap, £50 for £80 minutes.
Question: I want to get my mum a New Year treat that will help improve her health. Any suggestions?

This ultimate body and mind detox will work to quench dry and parched skin and give the body a new lease of life. It’s also perfect for eliminating fluid retention and will help tackle cellulite. I would recommend a course of 10 for maximum results, but it’s also amazing as a one-off to boost wellbeing.

Burning the candle at ends, too much caffeine, and addiction to late-night TV? “its during the night that production of new cells occur controlled by a growth hormone secreted during sleep
Burning the candle at ends, too much caffeine, and addiction to late-night TV? “its during the night that production of new cells occur controlled by a growth hormone secreted during sleep” says Wendy lack of this hormone makes skin appear sluggish – dark circles deepen eyes become bloodshot, blemishes flare up, as do conditions such as eczema. No creams is going to mimic eight hours kip but it can help counter the worst signs of sleep deprivation. Look for products containing vitamin A to help stimulate skin renewal and use a good eye cream. Try Moor Spa Balancing Moisturiser £19.95.

A little mud - the ultimate de-stress, detox move.
You can pay a fortune for detoxing mud wraps and baths at a spa, but you can get something close at home. Alternative health and wellbeing expert Jane Alexander, author of The Overload Solution, has been a mud bather for years. Infact it’s not actually mud but a mix of peaty moor water that looks murky but leaves you sparkly clean and no it doesn’t smell! “I swear by moor mud for a deep, deep relaxation and also for fending off colds the first time I soaked in it, I slept for 14 hours afterwards. It also makes skin really soft and you can slap it on your face as a mask as well. It’s brimming with millions of minerals and packs a serious health and beauty punch – ideal for anyone detoxing at the moment. Pour half a teacup into your bath, then relax and laze for a while – make sure you allow plenty of time to relax afterwards” Moor Hydrating Herbal Bath £5.95 for 200ml
I’ve got really dry skin and am prone to eczema on my arms and legs, says Melanie Walters, 31, from South London. I’ve tried no end of solutions so a friend recommended I go to Janet Ginnings salon in London to have a Moor Body Wrap. This involves being painted from the neck down with a dark brown, herbal-smelling mud and then being wrapped up for 40 minutes. Afterwards, my skin felt smoother than ever, the itching went and my skin healed in double time. Now whenever my skin starts to break out, I simply book another wrap.
Caroline says: On normal skin, exfoliating twice a week with a tough mitt or salt scrub followed by a rich body moisturiser will keep dry skin away, but I also like the Moor Body wrap. It’s the herbs, plant and flower extracts and minerals that make it such a great skin-nourishing and healing treatment. What’s more, its good for cellulite, too. So if you’ve got skin problems, it’s well worth saving for.
If bubbles aren’t your thing, try a detoxing mud bath. Mud treatments are packed with minerals and nutrients to moisturise skin. Add half a teacup of moor hydrating herbal bath £5.95(01825762658; www.moorbodycare.co.uk) packed with herbs, grasses and minerals, in to a warm bath lie back and enjoy. Don’t rinse your skin afterwards – wrap up in a robe and keep warm under your duvet for another 20 minutes to allow your body to absorb the active substances. Do this at bedtime and it will also ease you into a gorgeous deep sleep.
