 At Skin Blossom we believe that everyone can look and feel fantastic without the use of harsh anti ageing methods, and without spending a fortune. There are many natural and organic methods that will help you look and feel the best you can, whatever your age. After all, ageing is a natural process, and as we age we bloom in different ways with confidence and wisdom. There is no denying that our skin and hair change as we get older, and it needs care to keep it looking its best. Why not try some of our natural and organic anti ageing tips below.
Try to reduce stress because when we are stressed and worried our face tends to move into positions that deepen our lines and wrinkles. The best way to overcome stress is to sort out the problem that is causing it, get to the heart of the issue, and find ways to work things out. A great instant stress buster is to listen to birds singing, take yourself outside for a walk, or if you can simple open the window and have a listen! Music or exercise can also really help to take you to a better place. But stress is a fact of life so to help stop lines and wrinkles deepening its good to move your face in different positions. You can get special face exercises but just doing what feels good for you will help. Try massaging your face, moving your face around in all sorts of expressions, opening your mouth wide and moving your head up and down, and from side to side.
A good skin care routine is important to keep skin clear, nourished and protected. You don’t have to do anything fancy, cleansing and moisturising are the key steps. Skin that is not properly cleansed can look dull, and dull skin can be ageing. Moisturising skin with a good anti-oxidant moisturiser is very important as this feeds the skin from the outside, and helps fight damage from sun and pollution. Moisturising also hydrates skin which helps as dry skin can be ageing.
Organic skin care can have powerful anti ageing properties. We tend to think a good anti-ageing product contains sophisticated ingredients at the forefront of skin care science, like Retinol and AHA’s. But nature has given us many superb anti-ageing ingredients that work in harmony with us, and are kind to even the most sensitive skin. Lots of common plant ingredients contain masses of vitamins, minerals, proteins, enzymes and fatty acids that assist skin rejuvenation by hydrating, fighting free radicals and stimulating Collagen. Skin Blossom's top three are:
1. Jojoba is a beautiful oil for all skin types, it is similar to the sebum in skin sebum and helps minimize lines and wrinkles. Full of vitamins, it’s like a liquid wax giving skin a non-greasy layer for superb protection against the environment, and exceptional trans-epidermal water control to prevent dehydration.
2. Acai has a very high antioxidant content in the pulp, so it helps break down free radicals - great for reducing UV damage that we know causes ageing. It helps discoloration by evening the skin tone, and reduces sagging by protecting the dermis tissue such as collagen.
3. Shea Butter is perfect for lips and problem areas like dry skin or age spots, it’s much richer than an oil and packed with restoring nutrients like phytosterols to stimulate cell formation and growth.
Take care in the sun as there is no doubt that the sun can be ageing for skin. The sun is also good for the skin as it allows us to make vitamin D, but skin needs sun protection for most of the time. Particularly if you are out in the sun for more than a few minutes, and always when the sun is at its strongest in the middle of the day. Try to use the most natural sun protection you can. The natural and organic sunscreen market has developed a lot over the past few years, so this is easier than ever.
A good diet is important to keep skin looking as young as it can. The good news is that a diet that assists anti ageing is also a diet that will keep you healthy in many other ways. Foods that are rich in vitamins in minerals help to keep skin cells in good order and prevent skin ageing. Try nuts, oily fish (if you eat it) and masses of different fruits an vegetables with a range of colours such as berries, avocado, garlic and green vegetables. Don’t forget to keep as hydrated as possible with water and herbal teas.
We all know that exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and it will also help your skin care anti ageing routine. Anything is good and there is so much choice out there such as walking, cycling, dancing and yoga.
