There are days when you will feel that your skin is glowing and your mood is at its best and there are others when everything will look wrong to you and your body will not respond to the way you expect.
That’s why there are times when you need to take action and see things a little differently in order for your skin to respond and get a better physical and mental condition.
What can you do about it?
Let your body breathe
For Kirsten Kjaer Weis, makeup artist and founder of Kjaer Weis, beauty starts from within us and more specifically from our gut. “Three years ago, I started fasting intermittently and I do not change it with anything. I have seen huge benefits in letting my body do the necessary pauses during the day, my own body feels better. I do not see it as deprivation, but something that makes me feel fantastic and of course I am not rigid – if I am hungry, I will eat, I will drink a glass of wine. “I was never a breakfast person, instead I make my own juice or ‘green lemonade’, a cocktail of green leaves, cucumber, celery, lettuce and apple,” she says.
Treat your scalp like your skin
“Our hair ages like our skin,” says Belle Cannan, co-founder of Salon Sloane and ambassador of Hair Rituel by Sisley. “And healthy hair starts with healthy scalp, so I often recommend a cleansing clay mask and the corresponding shampoo to keep the scalp healthy and the hair shiny.”
In fact, a weekly treatment as part of ongoing scalp health and better hair management is vital. Damaged hair is very noticeable. For example, if you have lighter hair and wear a dark top, the damaged ends are visible and the same goes for darker hair and a white or cream top.
Use your products in different ways
“Oils can be so flexible,” says Kjaer Weis. “I like to apply layers of moisturizing oil between my makeup for a more beautiful skin finish. Do not worry about layering: I apply before my base and then I put again and press on my foundation. There is a misconception that this can clog pores, but using a dry oil with real purity avoids this and keeps your skin and foundation refreshed.
As a make up artist for over 10 years, there is a reason I continue to use this hack. My trick is to use my palms and press the foundation inside, which gives the illusion of flawless skin without the blemishes of the base being visible, or I like to dissolve my concealer with the same oil and a moisturizer with colour”.
Invest in a good sleeping oil
A sleepless night can increase stress feelings by 30 percent and have a negative effect on brain performance and memory. Thus, taking time to focus on your sleep is not only good for your body, but also for your mental health. A good starting point is to look for aromatherapy oils in order to relax from the stress.
De Mamiel’s Settle Sleep line helps reduce it and uses specific herbs such as watermelon seed oil and passionflower oil to maximize magnesium and zinc absorption – essential minerals that help the body relax and experience a more invigorating life. Apply it on your wrists and chest an hour before bedtime. Use it every night and wait seven days to start feeling the benefits.
Take a breath
Most of us have a laid back attitude when it comes to painting a picture about ourselves. In fact, we use only 20 percent of our lung capacity. However, breathing helps to avoid depression and relieve stress.
Inhale gently through the nose, with the mouth closed, for about 10 seconds. Exhale for another 10 seconds, leaving your breath soft without pressure. Repeat as many times as needed until you feel calmer.
Consume good fats to get more shine
“When you’re prone to dry skin, increasing fat intake really makes all the difference,” says skin expert Melanie Grant. “After the age of 30, the good fats in the skin decrease dramatically, so when I changed my diet to include more healthy fats, I saw a noticeable difference within a few days.
Try adding avocados to your smoothies, eating fatty fish such as sardines and salmon and opting for nuts for snacks. The added benefit is that it also reduces your craving for sugar during the day.
