The impact of sun damage on skin- ageing

Unprotected sun exposure is the number one cause of premature skin ageing. If you do not  believe this - look at an area of skin that is rarely exposed to the sun and compare to an area of skin that is front and centre when exposed to UV damage.   UVA / UVB.  UV radiation is part of the light spectrum that reaches the earth from the sun. It has wavelengths shorter than visible light, which are classified as UVA and UVB rays. Both types of radiation damage the skin in different ways. UVB ( shortwave radiation) these are responsible for burnt, redskin, whereas UVA,(longwave radiation) can penetrate deeper in to the skin and cause DNA damage.    Sun damage can have short and long term consequences, depending on the level of the damage. The immediate visible signs of sun damage is sunburn, redness, dryness, peeling. In more severe cases it may show with blisters, along with nausea and dizziness.

Tretinoin also known as retinoic acid comes from Vitamin A  is recognised as the gold standard of anti-ageing treatments as it can have profound beneficial effect on the stratum corneum layer and deeper layers of the skin.

Your questions answered from our Instagram live on Tuesday

Question - I have deep wrinkles on my forehead, what serum is best for me? @skinceuticals.   Answer - A combination of skin care will help this skin condition combined with in clinic treatments. Botox is an option to reduce the wrinkles quickly. Retinol would be a good treatment. Retinol is a powerhouse anti-ageing ingredient. Incorporating retinol into your skin care routine in your early 20s is a great way to begin prevention. Its never too late to experience the benefits of retinol. It is the most researched antiaging ingredient, and recognised as the gold standard. But don’t forget the major key pillars of anti-ageing ingredients. In addition to retinol look for ferulic acid (we always include both as standard), vitamin c, hyaluronic acid, alpha and beta hydroxy acids (Glycolic wash by SkinCeuticals) Always use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Skincare tips for a defined jawline & firmer neck.

Skincare tips for a defined jawline & firmer neck.

 Skincare tips for a defined jawline & firmer neck.  They say you can tell a person’s age by looking at their neck. When you make time to care for your skin with regular treatments and at-home rituals, a crepey neck and jawline is the last thing you want.  There are several factors that cause your jawline and neck to drop or wrinkle. As you age, your skin loses collagen and elastin — two proteins that are responsible for how taught, firm and supple your skin is. Not only is the skin on your neck thinner, it’s also a highly mobile body part that continually bends and twists with the motion of our head. This makes it far more susceptible to wrinkles over time!Genetics have a part to play in how the skin on your neck and jaw develop as you age. This is why it’s important to take action early if you suspect you’re genetically prone to looser skin in this area. Daily activities are also a contributing factor, the most common being looking down at a smartphone or laptop screen (it’s called ‘tech neck’!). Sun damage is another factor, over many years of exposure the skin becomes damaged. This takes time to show visibly on the surface.  It’s common for the neck and full jawline area to be neglected during a daily skincare ritual. Many of us are so focused on facial problem areas that we forget to bring product further down onto the neck area! After all — it’s not just your face that needs TLC. Your neck and jawline can also benefit from cleansing, toning,  moisturising and protection. Combine with in clinic treatments like Radiofrequency for enhanced benefits.  At-home treatments for a firm neck and defined jawline. Whether you’re looking for a dedicated product to bring into your existing at-home skincare ritual or want something to maintain the results of a treatment, you can find a solution in this neck cream recently launched by SkinCeuticals. SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair . SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair is an award-winning 0.2% retinol cream that has been specially formulated for the neck area. It uses Tripeptide Concentrate to fortify and firm the skin, while Glaucine Complex reduces collagen denaturing, so you keep more of your natural firmness for longer. How to use.This neck firming cream has a strong formulation, so should only be used once a week for the first week. You can increase this to twice daily once you’ve built up a retinol tolerance. Massage two pumps of product in upward movements towards the jawline for the best effects. Avoid mixing with other retinol or glycolic products in the same area. You can use retinol/ glycolic on your face and use SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair on your neck and chest area.     Shop now https://www.nualawoulfe.ie/collections/skinceuticals/products/skinceuticals-tripeptide-r-neck-repair

ANTI-AGEING BEAUTY ROUTINE WITH VITAMIN C FOR OILY SKIN

Latest News – March 16, 2021

ANTI-AGEING BEAUTY ROUTINE WITH VITAMIN C FOR OILY SKIN

 Oily skin isn't just for teens. Adults too can be prone to shiny skin, large pores and blemishes. And they do not pass through aging skin and its annoyances either (sagging skin, wrinkles, loss of radiance, etc.). This is why we have concocted a special anti-ageing beauty routine for oily skin including vitamin C and anti-blemish and anti-excess sebum active ingredients for skin on top!Vitamin C beauty routine for oily skin.     CLEANSE YOUR SKIN WITH A SUITABLE CLEANSER Cleansing the skin is an essential step in a skin routine worthy of the name. And it is all the more important when the skin is oily, because it is necessary to eliminate the surplus of sebum in addition to the impurities, pollution and possibly makeup. Be careful,  not to be overly zealous - we  say cleaning not  stripping (even if that is tempting). Respect your skin's microbiota with a gentle cleanser that reduces excess sebum and acts on the skin texture. For this,  Blemish + Age Cleanser SkinCeuticals is the ideal product. It is a cleansing gel that removes impurities and gently exfoliates the skin with salicylic acid. Perfect for decongesting pores and reducing excess sebum without attacking the skin. Then apply special their  anti-imperfection solution Blemish + Age Toner , which perfects the cleansing by eliminating stubborn impurities and improves skin texture.     ADOPT AN ANTIOXIDANT SERUM TO PREVENT SIGNS OF AGEING. The serum vitamin C is a must for all those and all those who want to counter the effects of aging on their short and medium term skin while boosting its radiance. And because oily skin is not exempt from aging, it needs an antioxidant serum specially dedicated to its skin type. This is why SkinCeuticals recently created the Silymarin CF serum, which contains 15% L-ascorbic acid, 0.5% silymarin, 0.5% ferulic acid and 0.5% salicylic acid. In addition to preventing the formation of free radicals thanks to vitamin C, it acts against oxidation and excess sebum, refines the skin texture and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. A serum with magical powers that oily skin adopts without hesitation! MOISTURISE YOUR SKIN WITH A MATTIFYING CREAM.   Opt for the Daily Moisture cream . This moisturiser has the advantage of having a broad action: it repairs and promotes healing of the epidermis while nourishing and moisturising the skin with just enough not to overload it. It also reduces the appearance of pores and leaves the skin supple and smooth without a shiny effect. PROTECT YOUR SKIN WITH A SUN FILTER. If the sun has “positive” effects on the appearance of oily skin, in depth, it does a lot of damage to the skin unfortunately.. So to enjoy the benefits of the sun without damage to your skin,  apply daily photoprotection. Turn to Mineral Matte UV Defence SPF30 , a 100% mineral face sunscreen that offers broad spectrum UVA and UVB shielding. What we like about this sunscreen is that it's non-greasy and offers a matte finish even if it's hot and humid.       Once or twice a week, perform a purifying clay mask with our Clarifying Clay Mask . This mask acts both on dilated pores, excess sebum and visible signs of skin ageing. The skin is clearer, the skin texture is smoother and the complexion more radiant.

Relaxation advice from Sabina at Serenity Day Spa

  The vagus nerve (also known as the 10th cranial nerve or CN X) is a very long nerve that originates in the brain stem and extends down through the neck and into the chest and abdomen. It carries both motor and sensory information, and it supplies innervation to the heart, major blood vessels, airways, lungs, esophagus, stomach, and intestines.While there are actually two vagus nerves (the left and the right), doctors usually refer to them together as “the vagus nerve.”The vagus nerve helps control several muscles of the throat and of the voicebox. It plays a major role in regulating the heart rate and keeping the gastrointestinal tract in working order. The vagus nerves also carry sensory information from the internal organs back to the brain Cold water therapies stimulate the vagus nerve as does singing and gargling .

Health tips from Dr Marilyn Glenville.

Latest News – January 27, 2021

Health tips from Dr Marilyn Glenville.

15 tsp of sugar consumed daily in the UK on average Before the 20th century, it’s highly unlikely that we would have eaten any more than a teaspoon of sugar per head, per year. Yes, just one teaspoon. Compare that with figures that estimate that in the US people can be consuming up to 46 teaspoons of sugar every day (and that’s people who don’t add sugar to their tea or coffee). Sugar was rationed in the UK in both world wars and in World War II it was restricted to 8oz (227g) per week. Let’s put that into teaspoons - about 57 teaspoons per week! The National Diet and Nutrition Survey estimates that, here in the UK, we are consuming about 60g (15 teaspoons) of added sugar per day from all sources, but this is from people reporting, themselves, what they have eaten or drunk. It’s not as extreme as the figures from the US but, even so, that’s a lot of sugar. Source Dr Marilyn Glenville Did you know that omega 3 fatty acids are essential because they cannot be made by the body? This means you have to get them through your d.ie.t and these fats are vital to the health of every cell in your body. Deficiency can be linked to hormone problems, anxiety, depression, inflammation and even type 2 diabetes. Eating two portions of oily fish a week and supplementing with a good quality fish oil could be just the thing your body needs.   Fat is fattening? No. It’s nonsense; a big fat diet lie. Please forget the myth that fat is fattening; it is sugar and refined carbohydrates that make you fat. Sugar is nothing more than empty calories - it gives you no nutritional value at all. Worse than that, because sugar is devoid of nutrients, your body has to use other nutrients stored in your system in order to digest the sugar. So, not only are you getting absolutely no vital vitamins and minerals from the sugar, but your body is also losing valuable nutrients just by eating it. Hence, sugar causes a double whammy on the nutritional front and can actually create nutritional deficiencies. Parsnips Old folklore had it that parsnips could cure toothache. They can’t. However, they do contain a host of benefits which means they are worth including in your d.ie.t.  A close relation to carrots, parsnips are rich in potassium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc, and iron, as well as a vast range of vitamins, including vitamin B, C, E, and K, as well as high levels of fibre. The fibre is great for your digestive health and as part of a balanced diet may also protects against type 2 diabetes, cancers and high blood pressure. Parsnips are also abundant in antioxidants that aid liver function, immune and skin health.   Parsnips go well with spices, so this dish is a great way to showcase them: Create a spice mix from 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp of onion/ nigella seeds, ½ tsp cumin and lots of freshly ground pepper. Peel the parsnips and remove the woody core. Heat your oven to around 200°C and add 1½ tbsp oil in a roasting pan to heat. Coat your parsnips in the spice mix and toss in the hot oil and roast for 35-40 minutes until soft on the inside.  Protein will help you maintain muscle Taken from her book “Fat Around The Middle ‘How to lose that bulge for good” Your muscles are made of protein so you need to ensure that you are getting enough protein to maintain your muscle mass – don’t forget that muscles help to shift the weight around the middle because they increase your metabolism which, in turn, burns fat.  Protein should be included in each meal as it slows down the rate at which the stomach empties its food into the next part of the digestive tract, so slowing the passage of the carbohydrates with it. As soon as you add a protein to a carbohydrate you change it into a slow-releasing carbohydrate which is a very good thing. Adding protein can be as simple as sprinkling nuts and seeds on your porridge for breakfast in the morning. To learn more log on to her website on https://www.marilynglenville.com/
