De-stress Mind, Body Skin

• In todays modern and fast paced world, many of us
  live in a constant state of stress.
• Cortisol is a stress hormone that helps us deal
  with emergency situations. It causes the body to
  release adrenaline, which sends out a fight or
  flight message. Although this hormone is needed
  at times, when we are stressed on a daily basis
  cortisol builds up, tricking the body into
  thinking its in constant stress. This can have
  negative effects on the mind, body and skin.
• Stress can make skin more sensitive and reactive,
  aggravating psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema. Your
  skin can break out more when youre stressed
  because cortisol tells glands in your skin to
  make more oil. Oily skin is more prone to acne
  and other skin problems.

Here are a few simple tips to help reduce the
effects of stress on a daily basis.

• Take A Moment
• Every day, make time to spend somewhere quiet
  and focus on the present moment. Try to push away
  the tasks and stresses of the day and focus on
  your breathing. This will help to rest your mind,
  allow your body to relax and reduce levels of
  cortisol. Even just 10 minutes can make a big
  difference.

• 2. Massage Your Body
• Massage has so many positive effects on the body
  and is a great aid to relaxation. Not only does
  it increase blood circulation for healthier
  looking skin and body function, it also helps to
  produce serotonin for an improved state of mind.
• Tip After your evening bath or shower, massage a
  nourishing moisturiser or oil into your feet,
  legs hands and arms. Use slow, gentle upwards
  movements working up the body.

• 3. Switch Off
• Intentionally create periods during your day
  where you stay away from your electronics,
  particularly in the evenings. Research has shown
  that HEV or Blue Light from LED screens increases
  cortisol in the brain and hinders the production
  of melatonin (needed to fall asleep).
• Tip Try to avoid using your devices at least 1
  hour before bed for a deeper and improved quality
  of sleep.
• If you spend a lot of time on phone or computer
  screens, consider adding a blue light defence to
  your skincare program such as our 1st Essence
  Defence to help stop skin damage caused from blue
  light.

• 4. Listen to Your Skin
• Your skin is often the first to show signs of
  stress. When under extra pressure, its defence
  mechanisms become weaker making it prone to
  sensitivity, flakiness, dull tone and irritation.
  If you start to notice these changes in your
  skin, take note this is your bodys warning
  sign that you need to slow down.
• Tip Try adding a Regenerating Night Mask to your
  skincare routine, to save time and achieve quick
  results. Applied before bed, they form an
  invisible layer that locks in active ingredients,
  to repair and soothe the skin while you sleep.

• 5. Add Vitamins
• Your diet plays a huge role in helping your body
  to fight stress. The healthier and stronger your
  body, the better it can cope. Magnesium is known
  to regulate the nervous system, whilst Vitamin B
  helps to produce serotonin and melatonin (B6
  12), stabilise moods (B1) and produce energy
  (B9).
• Tip Try eating food high in these vitamins
  Magnesium Whole wheat, spinach, quinoa, nuts,
  seeds, beens and tofu. Vitamin B Eggs, Wild
  Salmon, Lentils, Avocado, Broccoli, Beetroot.
• Vitamins are also included in skin care products
  to help dull, lifeless skin recover and repair.

• Remember
• We have to be intentional about creating these
  moments to take time out. Try not to let stress,
  business and to-do lists control you. Your
  wellbeing is essential in order to live a
  healthy, fulfilled and happy life.
