The fundamentals of skin health
Skin first. That’s been our philosophy from the start. Everything else follows once your base is at its best. Good skin health means taking care of your overall health. You probably already know what the basics are – here’s why they’re vital for better skin:
Water is your skin’s best friend
Skin is almost 65% water. Staying hydrated makes sense.
Exercise gets the blood flowing
Skin glowing post-workout? That’s the result of increased blood flow bring oxygen to cells. Exercise can also reduce anxiety, which helps with eczema, psoriasis and acne.
Relaxation calms everything
Mind, body – and skin. Stress can cause inflammation.
Healthy diet, healthy skin
Wholegrains, fruits and vegetables support the skin’s function. There’s also evidence that a high-fibre diet improves the outlook for skin cancer patients.
Rest to recover
Sleep is vital for repairing cells. That goes for skin too.
Get an annual skin check
Early detection can cure most forms of skin cancer – a full-body professional examination will put your mind at ease.
What goes on outside is as important as inside. A smart skincare regime protects and preserves the skin, and boils down to three essentials: moisturiser, anti-ager, and sunblock. Follow these steps:
4. Have regular facials or peels to improve texture and tone
These are the foundations of solid skincare. But it’s also worth bearing the following in mind:
Over-washing
It can strip away the protective fatty outer layer of the skin.
Don’t use soap and hot water
Again, because they can strip away the outer layer.
Think twice about face scrubs
Abrasive exfoliants can damage the outer layer.
Don’t use multiple products at the same time
Less is more.
