The key to maintaining healthy skin isn't just about the ingredients in the skincare products you use, it's looking at the whole picture. A personalised skincare session is the first step towards understanding your skin's unique needs. We will discuss your skin type, concerns and lifestyle, including sleep, stress, exercise, nutrition and more to create a customised skincare routine just for you. All these elements can contribute to skin health and piecing all this together allows for a better understanding on how to find products that will benefit you the most.
Taking a holistic approach to skincare involves looking at various factors beyond just skincare products. Here is a breakdown of how sleep, stress, exercise and nutrition can affect your skin:
Sleep: Adequate sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being, including skin health. During sleep, the body repairs and rejuvenates itself, including the skin. Lack of sleep can lead to increased stress hormone levels, which may result in skin issues such as acne, dullness, and premature aging. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to promote healthy skin.
Stress: Chronic stress can have a significant impact on the skin. It can trigger inflammation, exacerbate existing skin conditions like acne, eczema and accelerate ageing processes. Practices such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga and spending time in nature can help reduce stress levels and promote healthier skin.
Exercise: Regular physical activity improves blood circulation, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, promoting a healthy complexion. Exercise also helps reduce stress levels and promotes better sleep, both of which are beneficial for skin health. Just be sure to cleanse your skin after sweating to prevent clogged pores, this is where Clinisoothe can come in handy!
Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids is essential for healthy skin. Foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats provide the nutrients needed for skin repair and maintenance. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as dehydration can lead to dry, dull skin. Also looking at type of milk you are incorporating in to your diet can affect acne!
By addressing these various aspects of your lifestyle and health, you can take a comprehensive approach to skincare that goes beyond just using topical products. Consistency and balance are key, so focus on making sustainable lifestyle changes that promote overall well-being and healthy skin.
Adopting healthy habits to help your skin and maintain a healthy glow. Take a holistic approach and offer other products which can work alongside the daily routine including supplements to improve gut health, aids to help sleep, tweaks in diets and taking up exercise. The idea is to take care of yourself, both inside and out which will reflect on your face!
