Your skin is a miraculous organ which performs many important functions, as well as being the outer part of you that others see.
It requires nourishment as much as any other system of the body. Our cells are made from what we feed them, so this is more important than many of us may realise.
Moisturisers are designed to keep your skin supple, hydrated, and protected.
Choosing the right moisturiser for your skin is vital to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.
Detoxification:
Your skin is responsible for important detoxification processes by excreting unwanted waste products via sweat- this is a rapid way for toxins to leave the body without having to be processed by the liver and kidneys.
Detoxification is greatly assisted by regular physical activity, sauna use, and increasing your water intake.
*Tips:
* Add a tiny pinch of quality sea salt to your water to make it more palatable and more readily available to enter your cells by enhancing electrolyte qualities.
* Use a loofah or textured cotton cloth when showering to stimulate blood-flow and help speed up detoxification.
* Exchange massages with a friend or see a massage practitioner to help your skin detoxify and stay healthy.
Protection:
Your skin does the very important job of forming a protective barrier against bacteria and infection entering your body.
Luckily your skin naturally hosts its own army of good bacteria to neutralise harmful conditions, but we need to give it all the support we can to keep it in tip-top shape!
Tips:
* Moisturise regularly with quality products
* Apply therapeutic-quality honey or pure Lavender essential oil to cuts and grazes and cover until healed- ruptured skin can easily allow potentially harmful invaders into your body.
Absorption:
Your skin is extremely porous, and easily transfers matter from the outside to inside, so it’s important to treat it with respect, and ensure we nourish it with the valuable nutrient and keep the bad stuff out!
All areas of skin on your body benefit from the nourishment that moisturising can offer.
Without moisturising your skin, it can progressively thin and lose elasticity. Natural elements and stress add to this process.
Tips:
* Avoid using chemicals on your face, body or in your home. We have enough of these in our environment to contend with, without adding to the load.
Many of these are readily absorbed and accumulate in fatty tissue, and can pose significant health threats when the body struggles to eliminate these.
Once you stop using chemicals you will never go back!
* Swimming in sea water can top up trace minerals, refresh your skin, and release stress. If you don’t have access to the coast a weekly magnesium bath can bring similar benefits.
Facing the world and putting your best foot forward:
Your skin’s appearance often tells a story, and can be a visual indicator of the perceived level of your health and wellbeing.
Looking after your skin is a wonderful exercise in nurturing your Self, and can be a great way to reconnect with your body when life seems all too hectic.
Tips:
* Set your alarm 15 minutes earlier each morning so that you have that extra 5 minutes to moisturise after cleansing your face and body. With the other 10 minutes gained you could try doing a few gentle stretches, sip on a herbal tea, and enjoy a few moments to yourself before your day begins.
* A shower at the end of the day is a great way to shed the day!
Getting into bed feeling clean, fresh and moisturised is a great way to encourage a night of cosy deep sleep. Introducing this ritual to your daily life can work wonders.
