Mineral SPF

Best known as a mineral or physical UV protectant, zinc oxide forms a physical barrier on the skin's surface that reflects and scatters the sun's rays before they have the chance to penetrate into the skin. Zinc oxide often is combined with additional UV-B blockers to provide the most complete broad-spectrum sunscreen. As zinc oxide sunscreens offer slightly better coverage across the sun’s UV spectrum, it is recommended to begin with this ingredient.

11 Essential Home Skincare Steps and Their Importance

Remember your home skin care is essential – what you do every day, twice a day has significant impact on your skin – so you want your skincare to be effective. We have 11 tips, along with our suggested products below: 1. Use SPF - no excuses! While you’ll be used to wearing sunscreen when outdoors, it’s important to know that the same UVA and UVB rays can penetrate clouds and windows. Not only that, but there is evidence that blue light from screens can damage skin. So, whether you’re only popping to the shops or having a duvet day, you should still always apply a minimum factor 30 every day. Skinceuticals Advanced Brightening SPF 50    SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial UV Defense Sunscreen Hands off –  Doors, buttons, work equipment… how many things do you touch a day without washing your hands straight afterwards? Just think how much dirt, oil and germs accumulate on your fingertips… now you will you touch your face? This can lead to breakouts and other skin conditions. Wash your hands as often as possible and avoid touching your face unnecessarily. Brighten with Vitamin C If you want a brighter complexion, vitamin C is a must-have! Known as an antioxidant, vitamin C helps protect the skin’s surface from environmental aggressors such as UV and pollution, as well as the oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Use it every morning after cleansing. SkinCeuticals Serum 10 - 30ml SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF® - 30ml SkinCeuticals Double Defence C E Ferulic Kit. Free Full Sized Ultra Facial Defence Worth €36 SkinCeuticals Double Defence Phloretin CF Kit. Free Full Sized Advanced Brightening UV Defence SPF 50 Worth €49.00 SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF - a new antioxidant for oily or blemished skin. Don’t forget the lips Your lips are also susceptible to the sun’s radiation, leading to a dry and damaged appearance. Apply a little of your hyaluronic serum Ha Intensifier by Skinceuticals is a good option then apply. SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier - 30ml SkinCeuticals AOX Lip Complex morning and night and more regularly if required.  Exfoliate dead skin cells One of the reasons our skin can look dull is because of dead skin cells. Scrubbing these away with a good exfoliator is crucial if you want to bring back a natural glow. This month Skinceuticals Retexturising serum is our product of the month – resurfacing is very important particularly as we age – over time, regardless of lifestyle, skin begins to change. Signs of ageing may appear. Fine lines, wrinkles, discolouration, and loss of elasticity can become more visible. Retexturing Activator® targets two mechanisms — exfoliation and hydration — to help promote the skin’s natural regeneration process, helping to visibly reduce the appearance of surface lines and help transform the look of the skin with a smoother, softer looking texture. This serum can also be used as a compliment to retinol use – use on the nights you do not use retinol. SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator® - 30ml Retinol 0.3 contains 0.3% pure retinol and is enhanced with the latest stabilisation and delivery technologies to provide maximum efficacy. Scientifically proven to help diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age-spots from both intrinsic and photo ageing. Retinol 0.3 can aid in reducing the appearance of pore sizes, while correcting blemishes and blotchiness associated with problematic skin. Retinol 0.3 is ideal for skin new to Retinol products. SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 - 30ml Stay hydrated As well as drinking around eight glasses of water a day – good for your general health as well as your skin health – you should consider investing in a great hydrating formula that will leave your face looking fresh! Obagi Hydrate is a great cost effective cream. Another popular treatment cream is SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 - 48ml.  Cleanse  Clean your skin thoroughly at the end of each day, you’ll ensure that all the dirt, bacteria, oil, and pollution has been removed from your skin. It will improve how your treatment skincare absorbs into the skin.  SkinCeuticals Simply Clean - 200ml SkinCeutical's Glycolic Renewal Cleanser SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser - 250ml DMK Milk Cleanser DMK Deep Pore Cleanser Emphasise those eyes The skin around your eyes is thinner and show signs of ageing more quickly than other areas of the face. Whether you suffer from dryness, puffiness, dark circles or pigmentation, an eye cream can work wonders. Look out for ones that contain hyaluronic acid and peptides if you want to see a real difference. SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex - 15ml SkinCeuticals Mineral Eye UV Defense SPF 30 - 10ml SkinCeuticals Eye Balm - 15ml Eminence Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream Say goodbye to coffee Bad news if you’re a coffee lover. Even decaf can make your skin look dehydrated. Focus on upping your intake of water throughout the day if you want to get your glow back. 10. Hydrate with HA Hyaluronic acid (HA) is what we use in a lot of dermal fillers to volumise and contour your face, so you’ll appreciate that it’s going to be great in skincare too. When looking for a HA serum, see the molecule is different molecule size so the hyaluronic acid is a vehicle that penetrates the skin to be effective where it needs to be – smaller molecules travel deeper into the skin – and brings more active ingredients deeper in to the skin.   Catch up on sleep Unsurprisingly, sleep has a key role in rejuvenating your skin. During the third and fourth stages of sleep, your body goes into repair mode and produces cells and hormones that help boost collagen production, which results in healthier skin! Avoid screens before bedtime, try a relaxing podcast or drink a herbal tea if you struggle to get to sleep. We would love if you would listen to our podcast where we discuss this topic and countless others!   Invest in retinol Derived from vitamin A, retinol is renowned as one of the most powerful tools in skincare. It helps to exfoliate and smooth skin, while diminishing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. There’s lots of different strengths of retinol, so if you’re new to it, start low! It must also only be applied at night as it can make your skin more sensitive to light. Speak to us if you’d like advice on how to get started. SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 - 30ml  We love results  We hope you found these skincare tips useful. If you’d like to invest in skincare that’s clinically proven to make a difference, check out our shop or chat to our skincare experts to find out what’s best for your specific concerns.

Sleep and how it impacts your skin ?

Sleep is a crucial component of overall health and wellness, and it has a significant impact on the health and appearance of your skin. When you sleep, your body is able to repair and regenerate itself, including the skin cells on your face and body.  During sleep, your body increases blood flow to the skin, which helps to nourish and oxygenate the cells. This can help to reduce inflammation, remove damaged cells, and improve the overall health of your skin. In addition, the body produces more collagen, a protein that helps to keep the skin looking smooth and youthful, during sleep. This is due to the fact that, while you were sleeping is the prime time that growth, hormone and other repairative hormones are released into circulation. If you are not getting adequate sleep, your body will not be producing and utilising these hormones as effectively as it should.

Are you in a constant cycle of “flight or fight”?

When you are in a stressful situation, your body may react by going into “fight or flight “ mode, pumping out stress hormones, raising blood pressure and pulse, and redirecting blood away from your organs towards your legs and arms to prepare the body for “flight” . This would be important if you needed to get away from a wild animal, but today we are less likely to find ourselves needing to get away from a wild animal.Normally for a healthy person, the body bounces back to normal once the stressful times are over . Many people get stuck in fight of flight mode. This is especially true when people find themselves dealing with chronic health conditions or a family or work related situation that they cannot handle.

Free radicals have extra energy in them that can damage neighbouring skin cells and collagen.

External factors account for approximately 90% of perceived skin ageing – including wrinkles, roughness, mottled pigmentation (age spots) and loss of elasticity. These external factors include, but are not limited to, smoking, UV light, stress, environment and pollution. These external factors are called free radicals. Free radicals are another contributing factor of skin ageing.These are parts of molecules (e.g. oxygen molecules) that are found in the body. As a result of external factors, like ultraviolet radiation, nicotine or unhealthy food, the free radicals become prone to react. This means that they are constantly looking for other chemical substances to bond with. Hence, they attack the collagen fibres, cellular membrane and lipid layer of the skin. Free radicals change the inherited properties stored in the cell nucleus, so that the quality of newly formed skin cells deteriorates.

Scented Candles and Diffusers Safety.

Scented Candles and Diffusers Safety.     Do not allow diffuser oil to spill or drip on to fabric, or painted surfaces- wood - work top surfaces- floors. Staining or damage may occur. Place diffuser bottle on a coaster. Do not swallow diffuser oil liquid. Avoid liquid contact with eyes or skin. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water if it occurs. If you are asthmatic or suffer with COPD scented candles and diffusers may not be for you.   How do you use scented candles safely? When burning candles, follow these safety rules: Keep burning candles within sight. Read and follow the manufacturer's use and safety instructions. Only use candles in a well-ventilated room. Don't burn a candle all the way to the bottom of the container. Scent is tied to memory, and aromatherapy has been proven to affect mood, so it’s no surprise that a candle with a certain smell can create a sense of nostalgia and promote relaxation. Unfortunately, any time you use an open flame or heat source for an extended period, you put your safety at risk. Follow these tips to make sure the memories related to your favourite smells always stay good.   Burn time. It’s true that scents can be relaxing, but it’s important to be aware and alert when burning candles. One hour of burning is sufficient to allow a pleasant lingering scent. The maximum burn time is four hours. Let the candle come to room temperature before relighting. If you’re using candles to create ambiance or to help you relax or to sleep, it’s wise to consider a safer alternative, like flameless candles or scented oil diffusers. Or meet both needs at once by using a wall plug-in air freshener that includes a built-in nightlight. Place candle on a coaster to protect the surfaces from heat damage.

Taking care of your skin is taking care of your health too, according to new research. Did you know that skin is your body’s largest organ? In addition to being the physical barrier that protects you from external environmental toxins and stressors, skin is an active immune organ at the front line of your body’s defence. New evidence suggests that as skin ages, it releases inflammatory chemicals that could drive the premature ageing of other internal organs. So it turns out that taking care of your skin is not a merely cosmetic pursuit; instead, it is an important part of taking care of your overall health, and may be essential to fending off illness and disease.
