WILL STRESS AGE ME?

Stress is something that our body naturally reacts to.

When the body is put in a position of stress, the hormone 'cortisol' gets released.

Unfortunately our skin, is an immediate stress target when life's 'overload' triggers the brain and skin cells to release the hormone called cortisol.

When we think of stress, we think of being bogged down with a million things and life getting overwhelming.

Let’s look at stress a little deeper…

SKIN NEEDLING / MICRO NEEDLING AT HOME

Needling the skin is something that is SUPER effective… when it's done in the correct way, with the correct tools, following on with the correct products!

What's the purpose of micro-needling? It's designed to push your active topical skincare deeper into your skin. The needles create tiny little channels where the products saturate to lower layers of the skin, and we always hit home about getting the products to the lowest layers will create more change - FACT.

Environ launched the world's FIRST cosmetic roller and pioneered the concept of Micro-Needling more than 20 years ago.

The truth is, when you move up the scale with your Vitamin A levels, your skin becomes more protected, which is exactly what we want, but it also means we need to do more to get what we want to where it needs it - which is where the needling comes in.

Microneedling / at home skin rollers / Skin Needling all mean the same thing and is something that we highly recommend…

WHAT ARE PEPTIDES IN SKINCARE?

Peptides! We love them!

They definitely aren't a new thing to the industry of skincare, and they certainly aren’t going anywhere!

Peptides are needed and very necessary when it comes to anti-aging skincare.

If you’re looking for younger looking skin, peptides within the formulation are a must.

In a nutshell, peptides are Cell Communicators - telling the skin to do something specific. When applied topically to the skin, they act as little messengers, triggering skin cells to perform specific functions such as building collagen and elastin, along with encouraging skin to look and act younger.

Let’s look at peptides in more detail…

WHEN SHOULD I START USING ANTI-AGEING PRODUCTS?

Have you ever wondered when the best time is to start using anti-ageing skincare?
We hear the statement: 'my mum's skin was amazing so mine will be too!’ frequently as well.
I don’t want to be the fun police or anything but this isn’t necessarily the case…

We control 80-90% of the way our skin will age. It’s a fact that 80-90% of the way we age is determined by what we do to the skin. Sun exposure, stress, alcohol, smoking, diet, digestion - all of these things will hugely impact the ageing process long-term.

This means that only 10-20% of the way we age will be down to genetics. So if you’re solely basing how you think you will age on those further up in your family tree… you may well be disappointed.

Maybe you think you should start using anti ageing skincare when you turn 30? 40? Perhaps when you hit the big 5-0?
It's a question we're asked frequently, and if you're not already using specific anti-ageing skincare, you need to keep on reading...

WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE YOUR MAKEUP OFF AT NIGHT?

It's been said that by leaving your makeup on at night it will age you by 24 hours.
That's adding an extra day onto your looks! We don't want that!


Throughout the day, dirt, grime, excess oils and pollution sit on the surface of your skin or makeup. Without washing this off, it will stay there when you go to bed.

The thought of this transferring to our pillow is pretty grim.

Apart from not wanting to be a dirty dolly, why else is taking your makeup off at night so important?!
