HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL............
Happy New Year to our blog readers and customers of Borealis
Natural Skincare. We hope the coming year brings you all health and happiness.
What better way to kick start the new year with a review of
your skincare regime.
The excess of alcohol, fatty and sugary foods over the
Christmas & New Year will unfortunately result, as we all know, in
expanding waistbands and invariably blotchy, dry, and dehydrated skin.
So, make three resolutions regarding your skincare regime to
ensure your skin becomes healthy, glowing and protected during the coming
months.
Apart from eating lots of raw and steamed fruit and
vegetables, nuts, lean protein and drinking at least a litre of water a day,
ensure you get plenty fresh air, sleep and enjoy spending time with people who
inspire you and make you feel happy, excited and secure.
1. Declutter your makeup bag!
Examine your makeup bag and check all the use by dates in
there. You will be surprised how many products we buy, use once, or forget we
purchased them and leave them to fester unopened / missing lids, tops that
gather bacteria and become unpleasant to use and may cause skin eruptions &
outbreaks. Throw away or give away unopened make-up, foundations, moisturisers,
lip sticks and especially mascara that can cause eye infections if out of date
or have been shared amongst friends.
2. Discard any products that don’t agree with you.
Your skin is sensitive and with the festive excesses this
may be exacerbated. Bring in a new regime if required using paraben free,
natural skincare products. Expensive doesn’t always equate with good so read up
on ingredients and always test before you use them. Make sure you know what
skin type you have and buy accordingly based on budget, ethos, availability and
results.
3. Cleanse. Exfoliate Weekly. Moisturise. Keep it simple.
Large companies are
very clever at creating demand for products that you don’t need. Remember most
skins were only ever treated with water and soap. Now there is a
product for preparing your skin for cleansing, degreasing, plumping, softening,
feeding, hydrating….you name it, you can find a product line to fit the bill so
pare it down. Less is definitely more and your pocket will thank you for it as
will your skin that will no longer be bombarded with different ingredients,
preservatives, chemicals and synthetics. Moisturise with one of our Daily Defence Moisturisers
depending on skin type from Jasmine, Mandarin & Frankincense, Rosehip &
Kiwi and Wild Rose. Or, in these winter months top up overnight with a face oil
for extra protection against central heating, wind and fluctuating temperatures.
Go on, it’s New Year; treat yourself and your skin.
Happy New Year from the
Borealis NATURAL team. x
