Your skin tissues are made up of water, proteins, and fats. When your skin losses water or fats, it becomes rough, itchy, and dry.

 

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 .

For many, anxiety is high and you may have slipped out of your old, healthy routines and self care habits.

Being truly healthy and happy is not just about eating all the right things and spending half your life exercising.


Emotional, mental and social health is a vital part of true wellness too.

 

Atmospheric aggressors surround us on a daily basis, posing a constant threat to healthy-looking skin, because they induce free radical formation that may damage cells.

Superficially, this damage visibly manifests as premature lines, wrinkles, sagging, and unwanted discolouration.

 

When it comes to skin care, there is no one product or formula that suits all. While there are products that are designated to visibly improve the appearance of skin concerns like large pores, discoloration and acne, what may work for one person doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for you, too.

Let me introduce you to SkinCeuticals Custom D.O.S.E, an innovative, high-tech skin-care service that offers a personalised corrective serum made just for your skin type and concerns. 

What can you do to optimise light for better health? The simple rule of thumb is to expose yourself to as much daylight as possible during the day (without looking directly at the sun!), as little light as possible in the evening, and absolutely no light when you sleep (i.e. sleep in complete darkness).
