Wellness and your Skincare Routine

Skincare means more than simply cleansing and moisturising daily. Our skin is our protective barrier and is the body’s largest organ, and is impacted by almost every aspect of life, including the air we breathe, the food we eat and the products we use. To really care for our skin and keep it healthy and glowing, skincare should be viewed as a holistic experience of caring for the mind, body and soul.

Caring for your skin

In a constant state of growth, your skin requires regular care to reduce environmental damage and minimise signs of aging. A daily routine is essential to ensure skin is kept nourished, moisturised and glowing. Starting a routine doesn’t have to be complicated or lengthy.

We recommend beginning the day with one of Living Nature’s certified natural Cleansers, washing away dead skin cells, oil and dirt and leave skin awake and refreshed. Follow this with one of Living Nature certified natural Toning Gels to hydrate soothe and tone skin. Finish with a Living Nature certified natural Moisturiser appropriate to your skin type to nourish and feed your skin for the day ahead.

At night, the routine of cleansing and toning can be followed with a Living Nature certified natural Night Moisturiser for the ultimate overnight nourishment. Living Nature also have a range of Serums and Oils to add to your skincare routine suitable for particular needs or concerns. Try adding a drop or two of Living Nature’s certified natural Radiance Night Oil to boost skin’s natural regeneration process.

Taking time to pamper yourself with a face mask can add an extra element of relaxation, as well as nourishing your skin. Formulated to combat the effects of skin pollution, our certified natural Charcoal Clay Mask helps to purify, detox and strengthen the skins protective layer. We recommend using our Charcoal Clay Mask at least once a week for a glowing complexion.

Caring for your mind

As well as benefiting your complexion, a dedicated skincare routine can be a daily ritual of self-care which soothes and heals the mind and soul. As your skincare ritual will begin and end your day, you will be able to relax and be mindful of your surroundings and actions as you care for your skin. Mindfulness has been found to reduce stress by taking your mind out of its usual worries and problems and simply being in the present.

In addition to practicing mindfulness throughout your skincare routine, caring for yourself in small ways, such as getting enough sleep and taking time to spend relaxing alone or with loved ones, is important for a sense of well-being and balance.

Caring for your health

Caring for your skin will have best results when combined with good nutrition and regular exercise. Give your skin a healthy glow by incorporating foods such as salmon, dark leafy greens and blueberries into your diet. These foods are packed with essential oils, vitamins and antioxidants that your skin will love.

Combine good nutrition with exercise to help move blood around the body. This allows essential nutrients to be delivered to the skins surface which aids in healing and repairing skin. When your body works up a sweat, dirt and oils are expelled from the skin. Exercise can also help to prevent free radical damage and regulate hormones so that skin stays clearer and brighter.

Take care of yourself this year by not only pampering your skin, but also considering the health of your mind and body.
