    Further information:

    Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) is so popular because it cleans so well. It is a key ingredient in dishwashing liquid and laundry detergent. There is a point, however, at which cleaning “so well” is not good for the skin. Stripping the skin of natural oils, raising the pH and disrupting the natural microbes living on the surface of the skin, all create a stressed skin which struggles to normalise. The skin has a natural barrier which protects it from everyday stressors. Regular use of strong surfactants disrupts this natural barrier and affects the skin’s normal function. Stripping the skin of oil twice a day can also lead to stimulating sebum production as the skin tries to normalise. Using a mild-surfactant at the beginning of your skincare journey, allows the skin barrier to remain intact and prevents a cycle of excess sebum production due to over cleansing.

     

    Lifestyle Tip: Exercise regularly

    Regular exercise contributes to healthy skin. It helps to lower inflammation by increasing blood flow. In addition to providing oxygen, blood flow also helps carry away waste products, including free radicals, from working cells.

    Further information:

    Ingredients such as Lactobacillus Ferment (probiotic), as well as Inulin and Baobab Fruit Extract (prebiotics) applied to skin, improves its overall microbiome. Aside from assisting in reducing inflammation (the underlying cause of problem skin), probiotics also help nourish and protect the skin by locking in moisture. Blemish prone skin often has an imbalance of good versus bad microbes so helping to improve the balance of the good microbes will improve the overall health of the skin  excluding the microbes that can cause skin problems.

    It is also important to use products that are formulated to not disrupt the microbiome of the skin by avoiding any ingredients that strip or disrupt the microbiome such as harsh surfactants or with a high pH. Use pH balanced products (4.5-5.5) which provides a wonderful environment for the healthy bacteria to thrive.

     

    Lifestyle Tip: Incorporate inflammation reducing food into your diet

    Try incorporate foods which have shown to have good anti-inflammatory action such as avocados, almonds and blueberries. Break-outs and blemishes are a sign of inflammation so these foods will help heal and soothe.

    Further information:

    During our teenage years hormones are still balancing themselves out which can lead to a series of skin concerns including oil control, acne and breakouts. This is a really unique time for skin because it goes through so many changes and balance becomes highly important. Starting in the beginning with a naturalskin care routine is therefore really important. Quick fixes may not be the best for the overall health of skin so its key to understand why a natural, chemical free skincare range, is a better choice. A product that works to balance the skin’s natural oil production is far better than stripping skin of natural oils and healthy microbes, which can create a cycle of excess sebum production . As the skin is still young, it’s worth choosing products that work to improve the health and natural function of the skin rather than harsh, chemical-packed products that can strip the skin of its protective barrier.

     

    Lifestyle Tip: Quit the soap, hot water and over cleansing

    Over washing can cause irritation on the skin and increase inflammation. Choose mild natural products to clean skin and try not make the water temperature too hot. You want to look after the skin barrier and avoid washing all those good natural oils and microbes on the surface of your skin down the drain.

    Lifestyle Tip: We live in a very harsh climate and we have therefore come to avoid sun exposure as much as possible.
