Skin Care
The skin is the largest organ of the body and our health and wellbeing is reflected in its condition. Keeping your skin in tip-top condition is just as important as maintaining your mental and spiritual health. Using gentle skincare products that are nearest to the skins natural PH, 4.5-5.5, will help to keep its healthy condition and maintain the balance of good bacteria on its surface. Good bacteria help to protect from invading germs and potential infections that cause inflammation and irritation. There are many factors to consider when helping to keep your skin looking and feeling good, and having a regular skincare routine is one of them.
Making time for a facial every four to eight weeks will not only boost the condition of your skin and give your facial muscles a workout; it will make you feel relaxed and rested. The skin renews every month and renewal slows down as we mature and therefore more reason to get into a good routine and have regular facials.
Environmental factors – In the summertime when temperatures are higher the skin needs plenty of water to prevent it from becoming parched, looking dry and feeling tight. It is particularly important to apply sun screen for UV protection to prevent against skin damage and premature aging. A lighter moisturiser is sufficient as your skin produces more of its own natural oil.
During winter months harsh cold weather and heating systems can dry out your skin, so it is essential to continue to drink water. During this time of year your skin will require a richer moisturiser to protect it from drying out.
Diet and exercise – Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables will aid cell repair and renewal. Drinking regular small amounts of water throughout the day will help your skin to maintain its hydration levels.
Keeping fit and active will not only help you to boost your overall body strength and fitness it will help to improve the condition of your skin. Exercise increases blood flow and oxygen and nutrients to cells, making your skin look radiant. Any excess fluids are removed from the lymph through muscle contraction to reduce puffiness and skin perspires to get rid of impurities.
Health and age – The imbalance of hormones in the body can cause changes in the skin, particularly during puberty, menstruation and the menopause. Eating a balanced diet, doing physical exercise and maintaining a skin care routine will help to improve any skin conditions. Often when our health is compromised and we feel unwell our skin is affected.
As we mature through our lives our skin loses it elasticity and resilience. Though we can’t reverse time, what we can do is look after ourselves. In her book, ‘Reverse the Signs of Aging’ Nigma Talib talks about ways to help reduce premature aging of the skin.
Getting enough restful sleep is vital for your whole body and mind to restore itself. Reducing excess stress in your life and having a positive mental outlook can also promote a healthy looking skin. Constant stress and anxiety can prematurely age the skin. Taking some time out for you to rest is very important.
