Don’t complicate things, beautiful skin is near
Caring for your skin can seem complicated. You’re being told to use this and do that. It can all seem like too much, so you don’t do anything at all. We’re going to keep things simple and go through five things that’ll help give your skin that attainable glow. And yes, it starts with having good skincare products.
Don’t believe a skincare product is good, simply because you know the brand
Recognise the difference between a good skincare product and good marketing. While it’s tempting to pick Olay or another skincare product because you know the name, get into the habit of looking at the ingredients in that skincare product.
- Look for botanical ingredients
Base your skincare products choice on those with natural ingredients. The last thing you want to put on your face is chemicals, fragrances and alcohol. These blends are usually harsh for a reason – to treat conditions like acne. But as a result, they dry out your skin and rid it of hydration. Using a natural skincare product, though, will keep your pH level, hydrate it, and bring it to a harmonious state. Find your botanically-based, anti-ageing skincare products with us – your cleanser, day and night moisturisers, eye serum and body toner.
- Make dietary changes
Skin must be nourished and hydrated from the inside, too, as well as the outside (through your skincare products). Opt for a raw food diet which includes more fruits and vegetables. To boost internal hydration, drink lots of water, vegetable juices or smoothies. When your organs are performing well, your skin glows. Consider a juice fast one day a week to help flush out toxins that can affect your complexion.
- Exfoliate!
Did you know, your skin sheds about 40,000 dead cells every minute. A clay mask can remove the dirt and debris that clogs pores. Once a week, exfoliate your skin to get rid of the debris and stimulate circulation. Then, follow it up with your Neora skincare products to soothe your face. A good moisturiser will increase skin hydration. But be sure to split your moisturiser in two skincare products: day and night.
- Get your beauty sleep
We know, we know. Eight hours of sleep? Good luck. The thing is, just because you’re busy, it doesn’t mean you should cut back your hours of sleep. Use our Age IQ night moisturiser skincare product and prepare yourself for a full night of rest. Your skin, body, and mind needs time to rejuvenate and replenish. Be strict with your seven to eight hours of sleep. Keep a bottle of water by you at all times, to hydrate your face from the inside (while our Age IQ day moisturiser skincare product works on the outside.
- Avoid alcohol, smoking & unhealthy foods
As you’re going about your day, consciously check your lifestyle habits. Are you drinking a glass of wine every night? Having dessert too much? Smoking on the weekends? Not wearing sunscreen? All of these choices affect the quality of your skin (and the effectiveness of your skincare products).
Start with getting your skincare products right, then make changes to the other things you do every day. With your skin being the largest organ, everything is connected.
