\"Remember that this is a month of feeling delicate so if you overindulge, skip the gym and eat stodgy foods, you will put on four or five pounds - and that\'s before you veg out on a box of Roses on Christmas day! Walk up escalators and take the stairs instead of the lift - anything to move around more.

Make sure you keep healthy snacks like almonds, rice cakes and fruit at your desk. I make a bircher muesli for the week and bring it to work - then I know I have a healthy breakfast and won\'t be tempted by the bad stuff. Finally, remember to occasionally say no to mince pies and chocolates in the office, or you will be in leggings \'til February!\"

\"Choose your drinks carefully! Cocktails can be calorie-laden. Get a vodka and cranberry juice instead of a bargain pitcher of Long Island Iced Tea. It may be an obvious one, but always remember to eat something before you go out. Not only does it stop you from getting drunk and binging on canapes, but the kebab shop on the way home will look a lot less enticing.\"

\"This time of year, mornings can be really tough, as I am expected to turn up for work looking fresh-faced and polished. I start the day with a glass of warm water and sliced lemon followed by a bowl of Dorset Cereals porridge. If I need an extra pick me up I\'ll grab an Innocent smoothie or juice on the way to work. Yoga is a great way to start the week, but as mornings are just too tough, I go to Pinilla\'s Monday evening class at TriYoga.

Always make sure to take your make-up off before bed. With the cold weather and nights out, my sensitive skin really suffers, so I use products like Korres and rely heavily on regular Aveda facials. My hair also suffers in the cold but I\'ve just discovered Frederic Fekkai conditioners - perfect for dry hair or scalp.\"

\"This Christmas I\'ve stocked up on SoCal Cleanse detox products. Along with giving me lots of energy and super clear skin, they kick start my health and balance blood sugar levels. The green powders help to alkalise the body - perfect for if you\'ve been drinking alcohol or eating too many sugars.

As a luxurious pre party treat I use ISUN\'s Ultra restore facial oil. It smells like heaven and is packed with organic antioxidants and superfoods to restore dehydrated, winter skin in an instant.

If it all gets too stressful, calm your mind with a good yoga class. I go to Simon at Alchemy.\"

Both SoCal Cleanse and ISUN ranges are available exclusively at glowgetter.co.uk.

\"Avoiding all of those tempting canapes isn\'t easy. Rather than give yourself an out-and-out ban, just steer clear of the obviously calorie-laden variety and opt for that seared tuna slice or sushi roll instead.

Knocking back sugary cocktails over the festive season is another party pitfall, so stick to champagne while you can (the model\'s preferred choice), and when that runs out move on to a slimline tonic and a spirit of your choice.

Oh, and if you\'re partial to a drunken McDonald\'s on the way home, plan a different, fast-food free route!\'\"
