Seeking healthy skin? Let us help you get started…
Different internal and external elements can influence your skin. Sometimes it may feel like healthy skin is out of reach or there are endless tips filling your internet search. At pHisoderm® we believe healthy skin can be simple and starts with the right cleanser for your skin type. We believe in a balanced lifestyle, inside and out and have compiled a few simple tips that we like to use to keep our skin healthy.
1
Choose the right cleanser for your skin type. Whether you have a full skin care routine or keep it simple with one product, your cleanser is key to removing dirt and pollution from your skin that could contribute to breakouts, dehydration, and aging.
2
Exfoliate to reveal your most radiant, clear, and youthful skin. Whether you choose physical exfoliants (like a scrub) or chemical exfoliants (don’t let the word “chemical” scare you off, there are many natural chemical exfoliants, like papaya enzyme), just be consistent to see the best long-term results!
3
Take off your makeup. It is super important to let your skin breathe, especially when you sleep and even when you are working out. Not only will this help prevent blemishes but also allows your skin’s natural renewal and repair process to take place.
4
Get a good night’s sleep. Your skin has a natural restoration process that happens while you sleep. Getting 7-9 hours of sleep allows for your skin to keep hydrated and better protect itself from pollution and sun damage during the day.
5
Protect your skin. Applying sunscreen can help you avoid inflammation of your skin, blotchiness and hyperpigmentation while protecting you from unnecessary DNA damage (which leads to ageing).
6
Drink water. According to The Canadian Digestive Health Foundation, drinking between 2.25 to 3 liters of water daily can help to maintain healthy skin. Many have also seen a reduction in acne, scarring, wrinkles, and skin dehydration (flaky skin).
7
Try adding green tea to your daily diet, may we venture to say: swap out your morning coffee for this wonder tea?! We all know that Green Tea has anti-inflammatory properties which can have some positive effects on your skin. We’ll make the swap if you do!
8
Keep a healthy, balanced diet. Lots of fruits, vegetables, and natural fats (avocado toast, anyone?) are great for your skin. We like to eat fruits and veggies that are local and in season, it helps us to keep variation to our diet so we intake a range of vitamins and benefits while being sustainable. If you have sensitivities to foods (dairy and gluten are common ones), removing them from your diet or cutting back can have some great positive effects on the health of your skin.
9
Break a sweat. Exercise increases blood flow which carries oxygen and nutrients that help keep your skin healthy. The increased blood flow also helps to flush your organs of toxins. Between the oxygen, nutrients and reduced toxins, skin is in a happy place, making new skin cells, collagen, and giving you that “glow”.
10
Be conscious of when you should and should not touch your face. Cleansing you face or getting a massage are great for your skin health and overall well-being. On the other hand, touching your face throughout the day or popping pimples, removing blackheads, etc. can do more harm than good, pushing bacteria deeper into your pores and causing inflammation.
