As the seasons change, your skin might start to look lacklustre and tired. If you're feeling like you've lost your sparkle, try these tips to rejuvenate your skin and restore a healthy, vibrant glow.
1. Hydrate
Dehydration can make your skin appear pale and unwell by reducing blood flow. Long-term dehydration may lead to fine lines, uneven tone, and sagging skin. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water or caffeine-free drinks daily to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
2. Exfoliate Regularly
A build-up of dry, dead skin cells can leave your skin feeling coarse and looking dull. Regular exfoliation removes these dead cells, revealing fresher, glowing skin beneath. It also stimulates new cell growth, including collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production, making your skin smoother, firmer, and more even in tone. Exfoliated skin allows products to penetrate deeper, maximizing their benefits. We recommend exfoliating two to three times a week with our Body Scrub.
3. Dry Brush Your Skin
Dry brushing is a fantastic way to exfoliate and massage your skin. Gentle brushing helps move lymph (toxins) towards drainage points, reducing puffiness and congestion while improving overall wellbeing. Brush your dry skin daily before bathing. If you haven't already got a brush, check out our natural bristle body brush.
4. Exercise
Notice how your skin glows after exercise? Increased heart rate boosts blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout your body, resulting in brighter, more energised skin.
5. De-stress
Stress can wreak havoc on your skin. It triggers the release of adrenaline and cortisol, which can increase sebum production, clogging pores and leading to dull, congested skin. Find ways to relax and unwind to keep your skin clear and vibrant.
6. Get More Sleep
Your skin does its most important work while you sleep, shifting from protect mode to repair mode. Lack of sleep can leave your skin feeling drier and more dehydrated, accelerating the appearance of ageing. Aim for a good night's rest to support your skin's natural repair process.
7. Moisturise Your Skin
Most skin types are a combination, meaning they can be dehydrated and dry or oily. Cold winter air and central heating can disrupt your skin barrier, leading to dull and rough skin. Use a super-nourishing product to moisturise and prevent water loss. Our multi-purpose Daily Treatment Oil can be used on the face and body to soothe inflammation, hydrate, and nourish skin, nails, and hair.
