Palheiro Gardens – Madeira Island

As a frequent visitor I find that March, April and May are the most colourful  times to visit the Palheiro gardens.

Camellias and sea of Arum lilies and Nasturtiums growing wild greet you along the entrance drive studded with Plane trees and old Oaks.

The orange pincushion Proteas and pink Judas trees are flowering in the Main garden whilst the bright red Captain Rawes reticulata Camellia signals the peak of another Camellia season .  Rhododendrons, wild Freesias and mauve Moschosma mix with the rare Clematis  grandiflora which is also in flower .

The spectacular red Telopeas from Western Australia are flowering above the Chapel and red Tritonias grow alongside the lowest pond below near the giant Auracarias .

White and blue Wisteria, Delphiniums, Californian poppies, Sweet Peas and a myriad of other annuals vie for attention in the Lower garden.  Time also for the  beautiful Cantua buxifolia with its red long trumpets and blue Echium candicans or Pride of Madeira below the lily ponds near the Tea house .

The Roses add a splash of colour in the walled Rose garden created several years ago though their main flowering time is yet to come.

•    Um swing de golfe activa mais de 100 músculos.
•    Perdemos cerca de ½ litro de água por dia, só por via cutânea, mesmo sem fazer qualquer exercício. Durante uma volta de golfe, o organismo perde cerca de ½ litro de água.
•    Do ponto de vista calórico (aprox. 1.000), uma volta de golfe num campo de 18 buracos equivale a um jogo de futebol de 90 minutos.

Your skin reflects your health, it’s your body’s canvas and one of its most valuable assets. For good skin care start developing healthy habits that guard your valued possession from outer (and inner) forces. It’s the only skin you’ll ever get so your daily habits mean everything.

Start Simple – You can spend all the money you want on the most complex skin care routine but it won’t really matter if you haven’t developed healthy habits. So before you charge a few hundred dollars worth of skin care products evaluate your current skin care routine. Do you have healthy habits? For instance, do you properly cleanse your skin? If you’re a woman who wears makeup, be sure to remove all traces of it at the end of the day. No matter what your gender is, you should drink plenty of water, providing your skin with vital moisture from the inside. When you’re out in the sun, be sure to wear sunscreen. Even though you won’t see immediate results, those little steps make a big difference over time.

Start Early - Integrate a proper skin care routine into your day early. If you’re a teenager or if you have a teenager at home, start now to develop healthy habits. If you’re an older adult, lead by example! You can’t replace the skin you’re in, but you can nourish and pamper it to protect it for the future. With the proper care your skin can stay fresh as you age.

Seek professional help for skin problems – Skin’s not going to be perfect, it can be dry or oily, develop rashes and acne, these issues are among many others that can frequently occur during life as our bodies age. Address the problem with a professional skin expert, either our Skin Care experts at Palheiro Spa or a Dermatologist for more severe skin problems.

Block the Sun – Protecting your skin from the sun is important because the sun emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Over time, exposure to UV radiation causes many changes in the skin including wrinkles, discoloration, freckles or age spots, benign (non-cancerous) growths such as moles, and precancerous or cancerous growths such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. In fact, most skin cancers are related to sun exposure.

Exposure to the sun is so damaging to skin that it’s worth understanding this problem thoroughly. There are two main types of UV radiation: UVB and UVA. UVB rays cause sunburns and UVA rays cause tanning. UVA rays are believed to be responsible for photoaging — the damage that occurs to the skin from many years of exposure to the sun. Both rays contribute to the risk of developing skin cancer.

Most sunscreen products available in the past were developed to prevent sunburns by blocking UVB rays. Fewer sunscreen products have been equally successful in blocking UVA rays. For that reason we recommend the following steps as well as the use of sunscreens:-
  • Avoid mid-day sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
  • Wear wide-brimmed hats, long sleeved shirts, and pants especially if spending hours in the sun on a daily basis
  • Use generous amounts of sunscreen and reapply it frequently (every two to three hours, this also includes waterproof sunscreens)
  • Use sunscreens that have a sun protection factor (SPF) greater than 15, and that have UVA and UVB coverage
  • Choose a sunscreen that contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide because these compounds are less irritating than others and do not get absorbed into the skin.
  • Apply your sunscreen 20 minutes before going out in the sun.
  • Avoid tanning beds
Pallheiro Spa offers its clients a free skin care consultation to help identify your skin type and offer advice on any skin concerns you may have.  If you would like to get started with a Preventative Skin Care Program we also offer Starter Skin Care Kits that range from €52.50 to €57.00.
