Altering your life style and adding a mask into your skin care routine will help to achieve skin happiness

Dry Skin Lacking Moisture

Stress can cause skin to react in different ways. Whilst under a lot of stress, adrenaline is produced, affecting an imbalance of other hormones within the body. Skin can appear quite flushed, but those with a dry skin type, will notice skin appearing drier during these periods of stress. It’s important to recognise these peak moments of stress, and to take a step back. Sometimes activities such as yoga and other gentle exercise can help to combat and help redirect your focus.

Adding a hydrating mud mask into your skin care such as Creamy Coconut or Strawberry Souffle will help to replenish skin’s moisture. This activity of self care should be a calming experience. #SkinCareTip Pop your face mask sachet in the fridge. This will help to soothe flushed skin.

Dull Tired Looking Complexion

Long term stress especially can slow down the production of collagen and elastin, which can cause the skin to sag and appear dull over time. Retain your youthful glow and learn to combat your stress. Whether this be throughout work, it’s important to recognise when you’re too bogged down and need a helping hand. Learn to balance work and personal life especially, and never let it cross interfere.

A peel off face mask can be a dull complexions best friend. Simply apply evenly across the face, avoiding hairline, eyebrows and delicate eye area. Wait 20-25 minutes or until completely dry and peel away. Skin will appear radiant and texture will be smooth.

Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!

Stress can certainly have an affect with your sleeping pattern, resulting in a lack of focus, puffiness to the skin and a darkened under eye. It’s important to have at least 8 hours sleep each night, in order for your body to recover and wake up feeling revitalised and refreshed.

Lack of sleep can dim the radiance of the skin. To help increase blood flow and get that skin glowing, alternate an exfoliating face mask into your routine. We recommend our Exfoliator & Masque, Avocado Oil Mud or award winning Charcoal Masque to detox pores as well as exfoliate.

Control and Combat Spots

The imbalance of hormones during a stressful period can erupt spots to the skin’s surface, particularly during moments you’d rather them not be there. To help keep those blemishes at bay, add our Blemish Mud mask as a weekly treatment to your skin care routine. The tea tree within will help to target and calm the impurities, and the clay base will help absorb any excess oils.
