1. Get The Basics RIGHT ...
Good skincare begins with correctly cleansing - fact. And bad cleansing is among the easiest and most common mistakes.
So what is ‘bad’ cleansing? Three things to avoid: being too vigorous, using chemical-packed formulations and rinsing in super hot water.
How can I get it right? Gentle cleansing in lukewarm water is far better for your complexion because it protects your skin’s important barrier, helping it retain moisture and reduce unwanted sensitivities. And always be gentle, avoid pulling or dragging your skin, and there really is no need to rub hard with a face cloth. Your skin won't thank you for it
What do I need? Use our Crystal Cleanser morning and night to give your skin the best start (and end) to the day.
2. Introduce A Beauty Serum
If you’re serious about loving your skin and addressing ageing concerns like lines, wrinkles, dark spots and sagging skin while protecting your skin from environmental damage, an antioxidant-packed serum is everything.
You see, serums are specifically formulated to penetrate your skin quicker and deeper than moisturisers, meaning they work harder at a cellular level.
What do I need? Try Pre-Eminent Beauty Serum which is brimming with skin-loving ingredients like marine collagen and green tea plus soothing vitamin E and brightening vitamin C.
If you a new to serums, please remember to always follow with a good quality moisturiser, like our Imperial Moisturiser.
3. Indulge In A Nightly Facial
A pre-bed massage might sound like something you have zero time for, but a quick five minute massage with Organic Age-Defying Facial Oil is really all that’s needed to boost circulation and give your skin a gorgeous glow.
Packed with more than 20 natural botanicals to plump, soften, ease pigmentation and fine lines and boost your radiance instantly.
How do I do this? After cleansing and applying your Pre-Eminent Beauty Serum and moisturiser, warm up a few drops of our gorgeous facial oil between your hands. Gently press your hands all over you face and neck, being careful not to pull on your skin. Sit back and soak up the delicious aroma!
You Need: Organic Age-Defying Facial Oil is is a great overnight treatment for soothing, healing and replenishing your skin’s protective barrier. And yes it's packed with anti-inflammatories and antioxidants. Your rejuvenating, age-defying, complexion boosting product to try in one bottle. 100% natural of course.
4. Sit Back With A Weekly Face Mask
This golden oldie is still up there with the very best skincare steps, having stood the test of time for very good reason.
And our Natural Element Face Mask is packed with skin-enhancing benefits. Removing impurities, important exfoliation, deeply cleansing and intensely nourishing.
Getting into the habit of using this invigorating face mask once a week for ten minutes will certainly help take your skin to the next level. Not to mention indulging in some precious me-time.
What's so special about this face mask? Well, for starters, it absorbs deep into your skin and doesn't dry out on your skin, avoiding that pesky crusty prune look!
5. Sunscreen No Matter The Weather
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: the sun is the number one cause of premature skin ageing and skin damage.
So, apply sun protection to all exposed areas of your skin. Every. Single. Day. The damaging rays can still penetrate through the clouds when it's overcast!
The good news is this is an absolute cinch with our Organic Tinted Moisturiser With SPF 25 which also doubles as a lightweight, tinted moisturiser.
And more good news ... this fastest selling HIGHBORN EVER is IN STOCK in the SALE HERE!
6. Hands Off Your Skin!
Are you guilty of touching your face all the time? Maybe you don't even realise! Read on ...
This not only transfers dirt and bacteria from your hands to your face (no matter how often you wash your hands), but it also spreads oil around your skin, causing your sebaceous glands to go into overdrive. Bad news for your skin.
Try to kick this habit to help keep your skin clean and balanced. Be more aware of your hands coming into contact with your skin. And clean your mobile devices, make up brushes, in fact, anything that comes into contact with your skin regularly!
7. Feed Your Skin From The Inside
Make sure your diet is balanced with plenty of the good stuff… and not too much of the bad. This means being mindful about salt, sugar, fried food, processed carbs and red meat.
What your skin craves is antioxidant-rich fresh fruit and veg, grains, nuts and oily fish like salmon and mackerel which are packed with glow-getting omega-3 fatty acids.
And remember to drink plenty of water to help your skin function as it should!
8. Breathe And Take Time To De-Stress
Paying attention to your breath is a great way to flush out excess carbon dioxide while invigorating your cells with a rich supply of oxygen. It also helps reduce stress – and you know how bad stress can be for your complexion.
Take a few minutes every morning to practice some deep, slow breathing exercises, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And it goes without saying ... Try to get a solid eight hours of sleep every night which obviously isn’t always possible. Do your best – your skin will love you so much better for it.
