As women around the globe face a daily struggle with hot flushes, night sweats and clamminess, World Menopause Month (October) offers an opportunity to encourage awareness of menopausal symptoms and solutions.

Have you always thought beauty sleep is a myth? A recent study by the Karolinska Institute in Sweden* has revealed that ensuring your eight hours sleep every night really is essential to help you look and feel your best. Overheating is considered to be one of the most common reasons for people not getting good night’s sleep. According to statistics, nearly a third of the British adult population struggle to fall asleep because they are too hot in bed and an astonishing 80% of people turn over their pillows in the night to feel the cooler side, disturbing their sleep. Thankfully now with the revolutionary cooling products from The Personal Cooling Centre (www.personalcooling.co.uk), you can forget sleepless nights and reveal your true beauty! The Cool Pad pillow topper (rrp. £29.95 plus p+p) and the Cool Pad mattress topper (rrp. £69.95) have been specifically designed to keep you cool at night using new, unique cool gel technology. Placing the toppers on your pillow or mattress can help relieve discomfort from overheating by dissipating heat away from the body, ensuring a cool, comfortable sleep. The products don’t require activation, but the pillow topper can be stored in the fridge to make it even cooler while the mattress topper is only 5mm thick, so is easy to fold and store. It’s important that you get your eight hours every night, so for those times when you’re travelling and need a personal cooling solution at your fingertips, the Petite Relief pad (rrp. £19.95) is on hand to help. Its hydro-sooth back provides two-way cooling, whilst the smaller size means you can take it with you, wherever you go.
