Hello you!

​

Well, this year seems to be flying by and I can’t believe we’re nearing November already. Autumn has arrived and I’m so ready to welcome my absolute favourite time of year. Hot chocolates, snuggly nights, and scented candles – utter bliss.

​

This month’s blog is all about the body’s biggest organ – the skin.

​

They say the eyes are the window to your soul… well your skin is quite literally the window to practically everything else! If you’ve ever been stressed, sleep deprived, hormonal, or used poor skincare, your skin has probably let you know. Moving into the chillier months, the cold air dries the skin and causes the skin texture to deteriorate. For this reason, in the autumn months, your skin may feel more tense and dry than before.

​

Here are some ideas to help maintain healthy and happy skin into the winter months.

• Long, steamy showers may sound like a great idea when it’s cold and blustery, but very hot water can dry out the skin. A 5- to 10-minute warm shower (or bath) is less likely to worsen dry skin than a hot one.

• Apply sunscreen, even on winter days. Don’t be fooled by darker, dreary days in winter, either… up to 80 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays can permeate clouds and still cause damage.

• Keep hydrated - don’t expect drastic results, but it may be possible to moisturize your skin slightly from the inside out. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, like water, is one of the best things you can do to avoid dryness.

• Use hyaluronic acid. It’s not as scary as it sounds and is found in the body. Hyaluronic acid helps skin stretch and flex and reduces wrinkles and lines. Hyaluronic acid is also proven to help wounds heal faster and can reduce scarring. Use it on damp skin and thank me later.
   

If you’re in the mood for a treat and fancy a relaxing facial – why not visit for a treatment?
