Five Ways to Prepare Your Skin For the Spring
The harsh conditions of winter, combined with your hormonally ageing skin, can leave your complexion looking dull and unhealthy.
Those icy, cold wind, central heating and low levels of oestrogen, can lead to your skin drying out and not looking, or feeling, its best.
So what can you do to get your skin rejuvenated and back on track?
Drink More Electrolytes
We are often told to drink more water, and while of course, this is important, much of it may just be flushing out your system and not be re-hydrating your body.
Electrolytes are the smallest of chemicals that are important for the cells in the body to function and allow the body to work. Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and others are critical in allowing cells to generate energy, maintain the stability of their walls, and to function in general
By adding electrolyte drinks into your daily mix, you will ensure essential re-hydration is maintained.
Your skin becomes plumper, reducing the sign of dryness and wrinkles.
Homemade electrolyte drinks are simple to make and you will find many recipes online. Avoid store bought ones as these can be very high in added sugars.
Weekly Facials
Whether you go to a salon or indulge yourself at home with our gorgeous botanical hormone based face oil, a weekly facial will replenish your skin with all the nutrients that it may have lost during those long winter months.
The plus sides to having a facial are immeasurable: a much needed boost of vitamins, minerals and plant based hormones reveal a youthful skin that’s hydrated and rejuvenated. Guaranteed to put a spring in your step!
Moisturise Moisturise Moisturise
The importance of moisturising cannot be emphasised enough, especially during times of hormonal change and when you’ve been exposed to two extreme temperatures, that of the cold outside and the rush of warmth from your radiator. Your skin wont be happy.
Both heat and the bitter cold dry out your skin and the back and forth between the two makes it even worse.
Moisturising can help to lessen the damage, especially when you use a moisturiser with Cosmetic HRT such as Pause Hydra Creme from the Phytomone collection
Eat Well
Although staying hydrated will help your skin, it’s not the only change you can make to your diet.
Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, which are full of antioxidants, and lots of omegas from fish, nuts and seeds, will help to hydrate and protect skin cell membranes, giving your skin a new lease of life.
Simple changes that will make you look and feel better both inside and out.
De-stress
Stress is often underestimated when it comes to skin health.
De-stressing will not only help remove any dark circles underneath your eyes or puffy eyelids, but it could even make you look complexion look brighter and more radiant.
Studies have shown that those who are highly stressed look older, with a dull skin tone, more wrinkles and uneven pigmentation. So next you feel stress creeping up on you, take a moment, breath deeply and remind yourself that this situation isn’t worth another wrinkle!
