Wellness for Good Skincare

Wellness for Good Skincare

Wellness is integral to achieving and maintaining good skincare. When we prioritize our overall health and well-being, it reflects positively on our skin. Check out some wellness practices that our team have cooked up to contribute to good skincare:

Healthy Diet: “Our diet absolutely affects our skin,” said Dr. Lauren Ploch, a dermatologist in Aiken, S.C. stated in the New York Times in October 2023. Our skin is a living organ and as such requires goodness in order to keep it clean and healthy. Consuming a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids is essential for skin health. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats into your meals to nourish your skin from within. If you are allergic to some natural ingredients, take your time to research healthy alternatives.

Hydration: How many times have we heard this? Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day! Drinking an adequate amount of water is crucial for maintaining skin hydration and overall health. Consider incorporating hydrating beverages like herbal teas and coconut water into your routine.

Regular Exercise: Physical activity improves blood circulation, boosts oxygen flow to the skin, and promotes the elimination of toxins through sweat, all of which contribute to healthy, glowing skin. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.

Stress Management: Stress can wreak havoc on your skin, leading to inflammation, breakouts, and premature ageing. We know this is hard to manage because life is happening everyday, however, we need to look after ourselves and practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or mindfulness to keep stress levels in check and promote skin health.

Adequate Sleep: How many of you are staying up late scrolling on social media or just working? Quality sleep is essential for skin repair and regeneration. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night to allow your skin to rejuvenate and recover from daily stressors. Please don't say 'but I only need 4 hours sleep', you can train your body to gain optimal rest.

Sun Protection: Protecting your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays is one of the most important aspects of skincare. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, seek shade during peak sun hours, and wear protective clothing and accessories like hats and sunglasses. Regardless of what the season is, it is advised that we should wear SPF all year round. And this applies to black people to!

Gentle Skincare Routine: Get off the multi-skincare, mutli-step bandwagon when it comes to your skincare routine and adopt a gentle routine that cleanses, moisturizes, and protects your skin without stripping its natural oils or causing irritation. Choose skincare products from our range, and avoid harsh ingredients that can disrupt the skin barrier.

Mindful Skincare Practices: Pay attention to how your skin reacts to different products and environmental factors, and adjust your skincare routine accordingly. Practice mindfulness when applying skincare products, make sure you take your time to test the products before applying to your face or whole body.

Consistency: Consistency is key when it comes to both wellness and skincare. Establishing healthy habits and sticking to a regular skincare routine will yield the best results over time, allowing you to enjoy healthy, radiant skin for years to come. As our products are all natural, you have to be patient and give the products time to work on your skin. It is estimated major signs of skin improvement with natural products can be observed between 4-6 weeks. So be patient and try not to mix our products with any other.

By prioritizing wellness alongside your skincare routine, you can achieve a healthy balance that supports your skin from the inside out, resulting in a clear, glowing complexion and overall well-being.
