How to maintain healthy skin?

Healthy skin is more than just a beautiful appearance – it's a reflection of how our bodies feel inside. Many people look for solutions in skincare routines of 10 steps or more. But the foundation of healthy skin lies in using fewer products that do more. A few multifunctional products can provide the nourishment your skin needs without damaging your skin barrier.

The Role of the Microbiome

Healthy skin also has a healthy microbiome: this is the collection of all the bacteria, yeasts, and other microorganisms that live on our skin. A healthy microbiome means a healthy balance between "good" and "bad" bacteria, which better protects your skin against irritation, inflammation, and dehydration.

What are the essentials for a healthy microbiome?

1. Hydration is key

Our skin is largely made up of water. If you don't drink enough, you'll often first notice this as dull skin. Try to drink enough water daily (about 1.5 to 2 liters), and supplement with products that retain moisture in your skin, such as a natural cream or oil that supports the skin barrier. A healthy skin barrier, in turn, provides protection against harmful influences, reduces the risk of skin irritation, and regulates sebum production.

2. Nourishing Foods

What you eat is reflected in your skin. Omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids (such as those found in salmon, walnuts, and flaxseed) keep skin supple, while antioxidants (vitamins A, C, E, and K) from fruits and vegetables help combat free radicals that accelerate skin aging. Avoid too much sugar and highly processed foods, as they can cause inflammation and blemishes. Skincare products, such as the Boosting Serum, also contain these essential fatty acids and antioxidants.

3. Sun Protection

The sun is wonderful, but it can accelerate skin aging. UV radiation is one of the biggest causes of wrinkles, pigment spots, and skin damage. So, use sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days. Preferably with nourishing ingredients that also nourish your skin and support its barrier. Two birds with one stone: that's what we love.

4. Rest and Sleep

The skin repairs itself during sleep. Too little sleep or prolonged stress can lead to a dull complexion, dark circles, and blemishes. Try to create a regular sleep pattern and take small moments to relax during the day. For example, create a wellness moment before bed and massage your face with a nourishing, natural facial oil.

5. Natural Skincare

Less is more. Fortunately, we now know that. Choose gentle, natural products without harsh additives like alcohol or synthetic fragrances. A good cleanser in the evening and a nourishing cream or oil are often sufficient.

6. Exercise and Fresh Air

Regular exercise stimulates blood circulation, allowing nutrients and oxygen to reach the skin cells more effectively. This ensures that healthy, natural glow. Fresh air also helps refresh your skin and mind. Need a little extra glow? A facial oil with sea buckthorn berry gives your skin a beautiful, healthy, sun-kissed glow.

✨ Conclusion

Healthy skin doesn't start with 10-step skincare routines, but with your daily habits. With a balance of hydration, healthy nutrition, protection, rest, and natural care, you can give your skin the best foundation to shine.
